This is pretty cool. I'd advise not changing the URL with every map movement and instead let the user generate a linkable URL upon demand. This created quite the enormous history list after only using a few minutes.

This pretty much sums up the state of the UK job market : https://imgur.com/qLzxV7U

Fusionbox (Denver Colorado) is displayed in a Dutch Themepark. On top of the rollercoaster 'The Python', because their location is 'Python'.

To be honest this didn't cross my mind. But true, I should do something about it.

Worked fine for me on FF 39.0.

Edit to add: with the caveat that it is going back through the maps, per meritt's comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9839060). I don't find the map history problematic.

Would replaceState() help? http://stackoverflow.com/a/20937387/1619998

The job-description text on the right hand side isn't wrapping for me, meaning I can't read most of it unless I double click to select all and then copy/paste it into a text editor.

I'm using Firefox 39 on Debian.

EDIT: If I change your "white-space: pre" to "pre-wrap" or "pre-line" that fixes it.
