I agree, it is impressive. However there are two problems I see 
immediately: The names, when written on the map, are completely 
broken, seems like it is not unicode capable. However the names are 
correct when shown as search results. Is that for everyone or only 
for me? For example, look at my aerea: Lat 58.4, Lon 15.6.

Second, the performance drops to an halt when zooming out, so there 
is no easy way to move from the origin (south africa?) to where I 
am (north europe). I resorted to changing the start position in the 
source and recompile.

Also the search seems to be a little random, sometimes it works and 
sometimes it doesn't.
