One thing we weren't sure of was whether to automatically populate the map when you arrive. So by default it will just try to locate you (on the desktop edition) then you need to actually search. Do you think it would be better to auto load your local data?

Yes. Or say (on the main page) that you should search for (whatever it is you call search results). If you autopopulate the map, I'd consider renaming that field "filter".

I also don't know what to search for. I typed "test" and it moved me to some result in New Mexico (several states west of where I am right now). I'd strongly recommend including some example searches that will consistently bring up good results.
