###Recommendations
DBpedia's SPARQL-endpoint serves all geo-localized resources present in Wikipedia (currently ~300.000). Queries over a vast territory tend to be somewhat slow.
In order to assure good usability and snappy results we recommend setting a minZoom restriction (8 - 10, depending on the area).
