User interface mock-up

Implementation

After a couple of different implementation ideas, I decided to settle on (with the whole team's agreement) making the LAM station tooltips (the initial popup windows that appear when clicking on a marker) draggable. The user can now "grab" any open tooltip and move it around, however due to multiple issues I faced during development, the tooltips cannot currently be placed in a new location and will instead pop back to their original opening location. I did get it to work somewhat okay, but it felt very "wonky" and awkward to use, so I decided to only implement the dragging ability.

On top of that, I added a lock icon that leaves the tooltips visible if activated, bypassing the automatic closing after 1 second if the user first hovered over the tooltip with their cursor and then moved away from it. This is only for convenience, and dragging works in both "locked" and "unlocked" states.
