Also, when you're moving the map center, scroll rather than reload: I forget the syntax, but you can see an example of what I mean by clicking here:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q...

...and clicking the topmost photo on the map.

didn't know I could do that. Completely new to working with the maps.

I've made a few of the more minor changes you recommended (including the scrolling), and just uploaded it to the server, but I think the fonts/images, etc is going to take me some time. Probably won't get that sorted today.

But you've really opened my eyes, shawndrost, I can't thank you enough.

I'll be making lots of changes over the next few days I'm sure.

On the subject of scrolling, using the middle mouse button to scroll will scroll both the page and the map, which makes it a little annoying to use. The easiest way I can think of to fix this offhand would be to scale to the window size better (I am currently running 1024x768).

Also, I agree with the others who have suggested placing shows on the map immediately after a search.
