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

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.)

I am looking into if this is possible.

This would need to be a two step tool, you would have define columns/rows before you actually drew the grid. I have to think about this, though I like the idea.

change all assigned marker color at once
Change the markers colors or icons of ALL assigned markers on map with one click. Currently there is no easy way to do this color change or marker change

The advanced editing for editing text is nonfunctional
Everything in the advanced editing does not work. Not even one part of it works. Text remains black no matter what colour you change to. The default size and fonts are permanent. The whole thing is broken.
7 votesI can’t seem to replicate the issues. Keep in mind when adjust the color to adjust the saturation, does it persist even if you refresh the page?

show scale better
would be great to have some way to tell the fixed scale (1:50,000 / 1:20,000 / 1:250,000 etc.) you are viewing at. The is 2000ft scale at the bottom left is good, but you actually have to measure the _ and then do the math if you want a ratio. Equivalent altitude (like GE) would be another option, but I think a fixed ratio option, perhaps with toggles so you can zoom on 1:20k, 1:50k, 1:250k, etc. automatically would be a better way to do it.
Thanks.

make zooming with the mouse wheel, zoom into where the mouse points to.
Right now it is zooming into the center of the screen.
And it is hard to do, always to center what you want to get to.7 votes -
Adding a new anchor between other anchors on the line using the pen tool
Like the Add Anchor Point Tool in Illustrator it would be good to add anchor point anywhere on the pen tool line. Thanks again for making such a great program.
6 votesI am familiar with the add a point functionality of illustrator, this is technically possible, will just need to figure out the UX for it.

When importing a spreadsheet, allow for appointing line start/end points
At the present all the points imported from a spreadsheet are connected with one polyline.
It would be useful if a user could group points which should be connected by lines.
Example: I need to load a sheet containing 4 lines connecting 4 pairs of points. At the present if I load such a list of 8 points - they are just connected with one polyline instead of creating 4 separate single lines.6 votes -
Support for larger kml, and shp file upload
Now it seems to be 5MB for KML files and that's a really small map I think.

colored text
When I change colors in text, and select the save button, it automatically goes back to black. I would love to be able to save the text colors easily!
