Looks like they got rid of the map and replaced it with a list of cities with logos for each city. https://www.virginamerica.com/cms/airport-destinations

You can find a visual network map in the investor relations section of the website.
Sadly it's not animated like it used to be, but it still conveys the information. It's also slightly out of date, as it doesn't include the new DAL-AUS route.

I don't really mind the list view, but I suppose when you're based out of SFO or LAX, they fly nonstop to nearly all of their destinations, and anything else is just a stop away. If I was based somewhere else, I'd definitely appreciate the value of a graphical map more.
If they bring it back, i hope they bring back the animated interactive one they used to have. It fit very well with their brand and conveyed the information efficiently. You basically clicked on an origin city and it visualized all of the direct routes. Then, like a second later, it showed the connecting possibilities.
Here's a GIF of it, circa Dec 2010.

Maybe it's because I'm using an iOS device and get the mobile site, but at the top of the page with the cutesy tiles for cities, I get a link that takes me to the route map.

Interesting... That was definitely not there a few days ago. Sounds like they added it back again -- including the most recent DAL-AUS route.
The timing makes me wonder: was someone at VX lurking on these boards?

Come on now. They fly from those cities too.
Edit: You also missed the two routes that go East from Dallas. And the Palm Springs route (admittedly, seasonal).
But I see why people who don't live in SF or LA are less enthusiastic about VX as I am.

I can access that file on a desktop via their "where we fly" tab now.
