Mapping capabilities

I am making extensive use of PHPRunner's excellent mapping capabilities and I see that the next release is likely to extend upon these. To date I have been able to build some nice looking and functional maps that draw down on geodata stored in the back end MySQL databases. I have a couple of questions, which may turn into suggestions for further development of the map capabilities.

1. Display of descriptions on map markers.
   i) I used the instructions found here to concatenate various fields into one that is used my the map to provide a 'hover over' description for each map point. The issue is that I want to use a pre existing data field that contains HTML. As things stand, when I do this I see all the HTML markup in a plain text information bubble. Does anyone know how I might be able to render the information bubble that pops up as HTML - like Google do in their implementations?
   ii) Would it be helpful to be able to specify fields that should be included in the bubble descriptions directly through the GUI in future releases? Concatenation works fine but I would have thought there are strong use cases for being able to more flexibly build data into map markers?
   
2. Use of multi-point maps outside list pages.
   I am using maps on both edit and view pages (single points associated with a record) and on list pages. The latter map the points that are displayed at that time on the page. I'd really like to be able to display a map on another page, with an advanced search criteria above it and which displays the map points but without the associated list below. Im struggling to do this - does anyone know if it can be done and, if so, how?
   Thanks in advance for comments and suggestions!
