Damon,

So as I understand it when you transclude  Infobox it is rendered with the 
current tiddler set to the tiddler in which your code snipit is written 
unless you take other steps to alter the currentTiddler, this is supported 
by the idea that  you subsequently transclude the text field presumable of 
the same tiddler.

How does Infobox determine the correct map tiddler to link to?

A global macro that references a field in the currentTiddler, will adapt to 
local content.

I do not have enough to help address your specific issues, but best of 
luck. Feel free to ask more.

Tones
