* Animate panning and zooming transitions in capable browsers. This feature causes a lot of zooming bugs and is in general very quirky: - The animation is way too slow - When quickly zooming in, the map is first shown very small and slowly starts matching the div size - When zooming in 1 zoom level, the map first redraws / blinks, and then zooms in - When zooming in or out, our custom markers first zoom with the map, instead of staying the same size and just repositioning.
Tested in Chrome 4.0.249.0 & Firefox 3.5.6 on Ubuntu, and in Safari on Mac.
