This looks nice. It's unobstructive and light, but powerfull. I have a few feature requests :)
- It would be nice to have a transparent circle where you click your mouse, with the diameter of those 20 meters on zoom 18 So you know what area the baloon is showing. - When you put the URL in the headline, put it on the website tag too. Before I read your mail to the end, I tried to click on the URL and was annoyed it wasn't made into a url. Or at least, put the underline below the headline, so it's visible that it's a link. -When you hover over an item in the baloon, a marker could show up on the map (a circle for a POI, a line for a street) In the future, we should make a service that gives meaning to key-value pairs. For example, oneway=yes and oneway=-1 are just "oneway", and oneway=no is twoway.
