Before I can process what I'm seeing, the run ends at a coastline and resets to show the entire continental US. It's jarring.
To watch the same run again, or to do another run in an area near the first, the user is forced to restart zooming and searching.
Ideally, IMO, when the run is paused, the user should be able to interact with the map; continuing the run moves the view back to following the run. At the end, the run should just stop and remain viewing the end. Maybe an interface element to "run again" which returns the user to the start.
