    Hi again,

     

    Thank you for your answer. I forgot that I said it was taking ages. Problem is also that it stops loading the locations. Whenever i refresh I might get 20 more locations, but then have to refresh again and again and again to get the full map. I don't know if this is a common problem, but I stumble upon it from time to time.
