You are using OpenStreetMap data in violation of its license - without a clearly visible attribution.

Hiding attribution behind i button is not sufficient to make all users aware of map source.

And in anonymous mode clicking that button is impossible anyway, hidden by another part of the interface!

Please fix this, as OpenStreetMap mapper I like when OpenStreetMap data is used - and this app seems really promising.
