• timeslider appears on startup even when history layer is disabled
• tile loading gets slower with every restart, until browser is cycled
• hilite of cities
  • sets moved true, redraws whole screen ?
  • hittest on close group of cities returns the wrong one
• hagstrand/lab is too big, move media out of git
