you can open the profiles in a new window to avoid it. Alternatively, if you use the area specific maps (for example London) you won't have to zoom all the way in when going back.

That's much better - I'd put those region links a bit more prominently and up the top, I'd assume most users will be after a specific locale - maybe some GeoIP stuff to get them to a starting region?

A lot of the users finding data centers through the site use it to find locations in foreign markets, where they do not know which options are available, so I don't want to direct them to a specific area on the frontpage judged on their own location. I agree though, that it's pretty hard to find your way in to the area-specific maps if you don't know they exist, so I'll take it in to consideration if I can make it more clear somehow.

Nice - this is something I tried searching for a long while back, and it will prove very useful I'm sure.
