Displays map info at bottom left corner when zoomed in on the area, else its fades out.

Oh I don't know. I guess rendered below it still. So invisible.
I've included a "/mapinfo_floor" command that puts the info right beside the map edge instead of water level.

Definitely cool.
I've always thought object space UI elements looked sleek, like this or a pop-up above units with stats for example. It has potential for a much more dynamic/interactive use of limited space. This will be especially true when VR/HMDs are common.
Some other things I think might look nice in object space (correct terminology?)
- Countdown until match begins, or any countdown for that matter, floating in the middle
- Match info such as 2v2, chickens, mission, etc. at the top of the map
Seems I might have to do some reading through your widget, and see if I can learn a thing or two.

strongly agree, this looks modern and awesome.
