Wow, looks really good. How easy or hard was tilemill? I've had a go at displaying data with Leaflet (I followed the toad map example) but this requires you to host the website yourself, and also to host a SQL database. How did this compare?<br>
<br><a href="http://leaflet.raggedred.net/toadmap.htm">http://leaflet.raggedred.net/toadmap.htm</a><br><br>Rob<br><br>p.s. The small markers work fine in my opinion. Due to the density of the data if you try to add larger markers it could look crowded (especially when zoomed out).<br>
