Basemap

• Changing basemaps was sometimes slow (maybe hard to reproduce)
• The control for changing basemap isnt' discoverable, especially when the sidebar is very long
• Some kind of built-in tutorial / tips to point out useful controls, like streetview and changing basemap
• (Note from Pete) when playing around with basemaps I realised zoomstack + street view tool is broken (EDIT: fixed)

Search / geocoder

• Improvements here would've made a big difference / saved lots of time
• Seeing results outside the study area aren't useful
  • (Note from Pete: I thought, given sometimes plans go slightly outside TA/LA boundaries that we should show external places but make them obviously different, and maybe sort by distance from centroid)
• Consider other sources besides Maptiler
• Being able to quickly highlight all schools, doctor offices, etc in an area could be helpful

Sidebar

• After saving a feature, the list scrolling resets -- very painful for long lists
• A modal for the form might be OK in some cases, if map context isn't needed
• Hiding a scheme from the map should also collapse on the sidebar

Spurs

• Being able to group several drawn lines and fill out one form would be useful

Snapping

• Bug with weird loop at https://acteng.github.io/atip/pipeline/scheme.html?authority=TA_East+Riding+of+Yorkshire&schema=pipeline&style=streets#16.73/53.932637/-0.83718
• Some friction changing between snapped and freehand. Optionally show all snappable nodes. Maybe show this automatically when going from freehand back to snapped
• Joining two lines would be useful
  • (Note from Pete) I also got the impression that somehow having a multiline would be useful. Needs some thought but I think it's possible if we think carefully about it (only give route snapper/user access to one linestring at a time) but still allow user to group multiple lines into one 'intervention'
• Extend a route from start

Freehand polygon tool

• Inserting a point in the middle got confusing or buggy; append and drag more intuitive
• Maybe support both styles, switchable

General UI

• Hotkeys for the draw tools
• Undo in more cases (especially for deleting a whole feature) and redo
• Add a "report a bug" tool
• Display alternative routes differently on the map (maybe dotted line, maybe some transparency, idk)

Importing

• Need lots of work if we want to properly support this
• Consider more compact representation of empty fields

Georeferencing

• Dragging the entire image could be helpful. Maybe a control point in the middle of the image, maybe the whole image
• Maybe move the image in any mode, not just the georef tool -- but then be careful with the draggable point's size / conflicts with other things
  • (Note from Pete) I thought a potential option could be to have two image modes, one georef mode which moves according to your map movement and zooming, and a fixed mode where you can just place it on your screen and it stays in place/size regardless of you moving/zooming on the map
