empty map

Hi Guys,

2 questions related to each other. Please look at this:
http://iamyogi.nl/plaats/%EF%BB%BFnederland/groningen/

1: In this region are no listings. So I understand that there is a text in the middle that says something like that. But why is the map on itself also white? Is that a setting that we mistakenly have done wrong? Is there a workaround that could solve this for our visitors? It looks like a white-map-of-death..;-)

2: I found that this %EF%BB%BFnederland has some relation to a translation, but it looks quite terrible, and if its related to a translation, then it seems to mee that we did something wrong.
Is this something that we could easily correct, or can we just ignore it?

Thanks again!
