Glad to hear you were aware of the earlier work. I agree it is often easier to reimplement something from scratch than finishing someone else work.
Regarding the static maps on initial load, I found this feature to be unintuitive when I tried it. IMO, it would be better to just show a spinner while the map is loading, rather than requiring an extra click to get to the actual map. The rest of the functionality seemed quite smooth and intuitive. Nice work!
