We've had the same experience on BBBs re: powering USB devices. Using a powered dlink hub helps to resolve it (of the 10+ brands we've tried).
This could be a huge value-add to the groups that have invested heavily in human-directed knowledge graph construction (e.g. Project Halo/Aristo at the Allen Institute for AI).
Neat work. This plus a visible satellite overlay would be fun add-on.

I recommend moving to openlayers 3 (http://openlayers.org) - it's not backward compatible with OL2, but the improvement in user interaction and tile display is worth it, especially on mobile targets.

The iOS source code is on github: https://github.com/openworm/openwormbrowser-ios

Plenty of bugs to fix.

They released an iOS port (GLKit-based) of their worm browser on the app store.

Source code is here: https://github.com/openworm/openwormbrowser-ios

All of the data is available through a well-documented API: http://www.brain-map.org/api/index.html

Fully documented with plenty of examples and relevant white papers.
