Re: google maps

Provide a blank overlay behind the markers so it is not obvious that this is a Google Map 

If you don't want to show a map, on the map, then why use Google Maps? Why not just drop points on a canvas? It's easy to load an image of the world into the background of your canvas/div/etc to draw the points over.

Also, most browsers are going to be slow with 5K objects being tracked with events in the DOM. Consider drawing them on a canvas to cut down on that overhead. You can map click events on the canvas to a given point using a single event handler which will make things much faster.

Sincerely,

Joseph
