Yes, sorry, the map UI could be better. You can zoom in to the state level, which hopefully will help a little with not losing context.

You still go back to the complete map when you navigate back out of a listing, so it doesn't really help much. The state-level zoom helps a little but it's not enough to distinguish markers in the same city, for example.

Looks like they deliberately broke the browser's "Open in new tab" function, which could have solved this problem.

Also please don't break the back button
