A clean point-of-interest icon set for web cartography

Using scroll for zoom in web maps is a horrific UI choice. Nice enough icons, although I'm not a designer.

I agree, it's leaflet's default behavior and I don't think it should be. Easy to disable though.

Really? That's what Google Maps and Bing Maps does...

Sure, but they are usually on a page with almost no other content (maps.google.com and whatever the Bing URL is). This page has content that I might want to scroll down to and the scroll zoom in the map makes that more difficult.

Good point. I guess I've grown accustomed to random things on the page stealing scrolling functionality (e.g. Flash/plugins, which I've disabled now) so I usually don't try to scroll unless the mouse is on the background somewhere.

Yes! Me too. Same with focus - I often find myself subconsciously clicking the background of a page to defocus whatever the page's developer or browser has decided should be focused. Flash is definitely (or at least used to be) the worst offender.
