Excellent map! My Spanish isn't as good as I want, so I just started clicking the map without reading the instructions.
Very nice way of showing the bus routes for a clicked location. Then I noticed the buttons below the map, and started playing with them. At first I didn't understand how the Set Origin and Set destination buttons worked. I clicked them and nothing happened -- I thought that clicking Set Origin might enable the next click on the map to place an 'O' marker, but it didn't. Then I realized that I needed to click the map first to mark the place, and *then* click Set Origin. After that I quickly got routes to/from various origins and destinations. The map does a good job of indicating that it is collecting the route information, and the routes are clear with distinct colors keyed to the route names on the sidebar. I like the Switch Origin and Destination button -- many users will find that helpful. So my only suggestion would be a hint in small type below the Marcar Origen and Marcar Destino buttons, telling the user to click the map to set a point, and then use the buttons. With a little more scripting, you could also give the buttons the behavior I initially guessed they had: after the user clicks the Marcar Origen button, the very next click on the map sets the 'O' marker; and similarly with the Marcar Destino button. Good work.
