When a general information message or error message is shown to the user (e.g. "no results found"), it is shown using a markerless Info Window, centered in the middle of the map. This is not ideal as the info window looks like it is "pointing" at a point on the map and would shift around if the user pans the map.
Instead, implement general messaging using a UI control docked to the map viewing area, e.g. Top Center position.

Add API calls showMessage(txt) and hideMessage().
