Events with no geo info should use default balloon #110

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Currently if an event does not have an associated lat lng, the map info balloon 
displays with the tail pointing at a random location.  This is confusing to 
users as there is no placemark where the tail points.

If the default Similie Timeline balloon were to open I think it would be less 
confusing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.0.1

Agreed that this is confusing, and perhaps a tail-less info bubble would be 
better (though I don't think this is supported by all map providers). The 
location isn't random, though - it's just in the center of the current map.

I don't like using the SIMILE balloon, as I'd really rather not have two 
different balloon styles on a single timemap - it would look ugly and get 
difficult to manage.
