Vantage 1.2 - Map Question

Is there way way to make the giant map at the top of the listings on the home page display a pin for EVERY listing in the database and not just the pins for the few selected results?

I love that we can have the giant map at the top of our listings. It's fantastic. And it totally makes sense that the map should show the pins for the refined search results of listings on the page. But, I am concerned that when a user comes to our websites and they land on our home page and they see a map of the entire world (if our businesses are that far reaching) and for example only see 10 pins because the home page is only showing 10 listings (that's why my default is set for), the user will think that's the complete amount of businesses in the database.

Examples: If an Italian user lands on the home page of our site, and they don't see a pin in Italy, because one of the 10 listings on the homepage isn't one from Italy, they will assume the directory doesn't include ANY businesses from Italy and will hit "back" on their browser. Or just in general, landing at the website and just seeing 10 pins looks like the website is new and is limited in the amount of listings.

My point is I think we are conditioned when we see a map like this at the top of page, that it's representative of ALL of the listings and not a refined list.

Is there a way "around" this or a solution that anyone has come up with to make them feel comfortable in this situation?
