Userscript: Expand the tiny guess map on GeoGuessr.com

OP here.<p>I created this little script out of my own frustration. The game is great, I shared it with a lot of friends. But what really annoys me is that the guess map is not expandable. It&#x27;s just tiny.<p>This userscript tries to remedy that. It adds an &quot;Expand Map&quot; button to the UI and makes the map almost fullscreen (<a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/uso_ss/23108/large.png?1378278171" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;s3.amazonaws.com&#x2F;uso_ss&#x2F;23108&#x2F;large.png?1378278171</a>)<p>To all the fellow hackers: it has an unfortunate bug. The Google Map does not resize automatically when the window is expanded, the browser must be slightly resized to trigger the Google Map to expand as well. Since the author used Backbone to write the app, it&#x27;s completely encapsulated and doesn&#x27;t allow access to any variables. If you know how to fix this, I&#x27;m listening!
