Mapbox is my final decision on the platform surrounding the map on this app. It's pretty easy to get once it clicks. MapBox runs on top of leaflet.js and uses Open Street Maps for the actual map data, rather than Google.
Get a Mapbox on the user's dashboard. Take a reasonable size of the viewing window (maybe 2/3 of its width). This will leave 1/3 room for stuff on the right hand side and stuff below.
Google mapbox.
Follow obvious link.
See documentation/examples.
Write a couple lines of code.
The hardest part of this might be deciding a natural place to import the mapbox script. I'll leave this up to you.
