We had that a while back but somehow the feature got lost. The code for
the map viw is here:
http://static.simile.mit.edu/exhibit/extensions-2.0/map/scripts/map-view.js
You can override the Exhibit.MapView.prototype._reconstruct function.
Overriding is not too hard. Just add your own Javascript code after you
include exhibit-api.js, e.g.,
<script>
var oldReconstruct = Exhibit.MapView.prototype._reconstruct;
Exhibit.MapView.prototype._reconstruct = function() {
oldReconstruct.call(this);
// do more things here
};
</script>

This is indeed a feature we have thought of for a while now but haven't
gotten around to experiment. You will need to override the code in the
map-view.js file (see above) in order to get this working. This is not
trivial, but if you get around to experimenting with it, let us know how
that goes!

:-) That's wonderful to know! In many ways Google Maps has been very
inspirational for me, too. It got me to make Timeline, and then Exhibit.
