For a start off, I'd get rid of the balloons - replace them with a dot,
and then use the <a title="Dorkland" ... > attribute to display the
location for and area around it. That way you'd at least be able to see NZ
under the balloons, and get an idea of where you are. A pick list would be
good as well - just because we know where Twizel is...
