I like the dots. Perhaps larger.

Can you do longitute/latitude with that map. Is it linear in both
directions. Usually such linear maps look terrible because Greenland
and Northern Canada are huge. Don't tell me you compensated for it in
the tcl code.

Can you use the more attractive map I am using. Your blinking dots and
highlighted names are certainly better than my map.
