After observing the route rendering we've got right now I think it might be a good idea to summarize hops that occur in the same location instead of showing each one by simply flashing/updating the text. Right now when 4 hops in a row are made in Chicago it feels like it disrupts the rhythm of the visualization. Perhaps we could display the summary something like: "Hops #2-5 in Chicago, Illinois, US."
