In the default view, I think we have too few markers - at least in the area I could judge it, that is Europe (it really looks like we only have a few people there, whereas with the old map, you can get a good impression where the debian-dense is higher). > Of course, being able to zoom in makes mistakes in the data more > obvious.

The other issue I have is that the data is too detailed in lots of cases - one can easily spot which place exactly certain DDs live (I don't have a personal issue with this though, because I just gave the coordinates of the town I live in which isn't secret anyways).
