yes, but it was easier for me to do this in Python, I needed to massage the 
data 
anyway.

Great, works!

When I first load the page, the table view shows all items. There are a lot of 
items. I am wondering if there's a way to start off with all filters "disabled" 
such 
that no items are displayed when the page first loads.

All of our items have locations near each other, so I have to zoom in a lot to 
get 
the detail I need. But when I do that, there's still many items on the page, 
such 
that many items have the same color. 

Also, we're printing out the maps on b&w laser printer, so the colors don't 
help 
either.

I noticed that the "multiple items" bubbles do have a number in them. If I 
could 
provide an item attribute to be used as the legend and in the bubble, that'd be 
great.

There's no rush for this, the "old hands" who organize the food collection & 
delivery are somewhat confused by what I've shown them.. So probably out of 
time for this year.
