The above map was made with Toronto Transit Commission data freely distributed by the city of Toronto. I purposely made this map long and narrow to reveal a potential issue that can arise when presenting a lot of attribute data in map callouts. As you hover over the red points representing transit stops, you will notice the callout bubble with attribute information for each stop. As you hover around the centre of the map, you will notice that callouts popping up above the half way point of the map have their titles truncated, and those below will sometimes not show the callout's final line.
