We love the map route lines in the Boston area mesh, and think they will be super useful to help understand the performance of the mesh and opportunities for expansion or upgrades.

We think some visualization improvements would make these easier to see:

Have an option to fade out and gray out the background tiles (either as a tile set option, which would be nice, or a separate setting that simply applies some CSS to the selected tile set).
Make the lines more substantial and easier to identify, and use width as an axis to show more data (for example average SNR for width vs. number of packets for color). Or simply tie the same variable to both to make it more obvious.

Example hacked together in the browser to demonstrate:

I am leaving this here to document, but if I have time I will send a PR. Will comment before I begin if so.
