Map rotation
I am very surprised that the very basic feature of rotating the map doesn't exist. It would be great if you can add the feature as sometimes you want to display a map pointing south, sometimes east..etc.

import Google Earth KMZ files
Importing GE KLM files is not enough, you are limiting your great application without GE KMZ import capability, so please implement it asap
26 votesYou can accomplish this by saving in GE as a KML. I admit this should be possible, we implemented it (sort of) in pro, but the entire file upload functionality and rendering needs to be improved. This will more then likely come after our next major release.

Text Marker Options
When importing data and using the text marker option, add the ability to change the text format. ie. text size, color and be able to also load without the bubble around the text.
16 votesWe might be creating a complete separate service for batch files. We haven’t completely decided yet. We are aware that the current import functionality is lacking.

add map navigation using the pc keyboard.
When trying to draw an object that extends beyond the screen, the ability to move the map with the arrow keys, or zoom with page up and down would be especially helpful. Currently the only option is to end the line, scroll the map, and continue where you previously left off.

Add a terrain profile tool based on 2 or more points defined by user
The user would click sequentially the points along his polyline in order to generate a terrain profile
14 votesCould you possibly give me a use case. There are other services around the web that provide this, I am just interested how you would use this specifically with Scribble Maps.

make it possible to increase the transparency of images
When you insert an image overlay, you cant see through it to the map. Thus, it would be helpful to be able to increase the transparency of the image to see the map through it

"Style Map" for Terrain mode
Give us the ability to use "Style Map" on Terrain mode as well as Road mode. This would be massively beneficial for some of the work I do.

font size
I think it would be great if a person could make the font size of the streets larger, not the cloud weight behind the font or the street width.. just make the font larger!

add an import specification/template saving feature to ease importing of standardized xls frequently
When you import xls files frequently (I do draw arrows between pairs of points) it would be helpful to have an option to save import specification (which rows go for header, which go for latitude/longitude, marker settings, etc.)

Make the legend moveable
When printing off the map, the legend is fixed in the bottom left corner, if I have pins there, they then become covered up! I need to be able to move the legend to another position on the map (the opposite corner might be a good start). Zooming out is not an option as I need to keep the radius's as is, and have no flexibility on changing the printable area as I have pins that fall exactly within the required lines.
I use the software so regularly this would be a massive help going forward, thanks :)9 votes -
Compass
Add a compass feature to both non pro and pro mode

allow users to turn off the continue-a-line feature
I was trying to jot a note onto a map and found it impossible to do thanks to that feature where Scribble Maps thinks you always want to connect lines if they end/begin close together. I know I can add typed text, but really, just scribbling out a note is much easier. Please add a toggle so users can turn off that feature. Thanks!
8 votesThis may be our next release, we may have a global settings panel under menu which will allow you to turn off a variety of features and this could be one of them.
