[nemesifier]

Describe the bug
The "measure distance and area" is broken, clicking on points moves the map, looks very quirky.

Related to #492.

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. open http://localhost:8080/examples/netjsonmap-plugins.html
2. try using the measure area plugin

Expected behavior
Measuring should work without quirks.

We should write a basic browser test for ensuring leaflet plugins are working fine.
