First, compile and run tophat.exe. It will generate the topographical metadata
database db.js. That contains a quadtree index by geographical coordinate of
all of the maps in the chosen region.

Then, load index.html. It will use tophat.js to put the map in #map-canvas, and
the coordinates and printable map link for the location under the cursor in
#map-info.

If you care about bandwidth, run all Javascript through this:

If something goes wrong, check the Javascript console first.
