  1. Add into Admin API information whether the map is finished

    It would be great to filter in API on "finished" status of a map, not only on review - and have information about when was a map finished and when it was reviewed.

  3. More then 2 pieces maps on one image

    Some images are divided into more than two pieces. It is quite a problem to divide it, because it is necessary to save the map between each subsequent split and then reload it.

  6. Downloadable georeferenced maps

    For example, the Blais maps of Los Angeles are viewable in the Georeferencer which means the which means the info is there. So let us download a GeoTIFF or similar. Thanks for listening.

  7. Export Geotiff

    It doesn't seem like it's possible to obtain a world file for the original image any longer. This is disappointing, as it prevents use of the georeferenced result without an internet connection. It also prevent things like using the image in processes that might automate the extraction of data, etc...

  8. trace building outlines and save as geojson

    Hi-

    v4 is fantastic, thank you.

    It would be great to trace things once we've georectified a map. http://geojson.io is a great too and is open source for drawing vectors and saving to GeoJSON, might be worth taking a look.

  9. Allow multiple crop areas per source page

    Sometimes there are multiple maps on a source page. if you allowed multiple crop areas or had a way to flag that there is additional information that was not captured, that would help

  10. Distortion live preview and initial placement, scale and rotation marker.

    A lot of reference points in maps without rigid or rotated CRS or of insurance map type only become easily apparent after transformation in map overlay. Would be great to have a live preview of the referenced map (preferably realized in 2D-Canvas) to continue referencing with the information already entered.

    There might also be a complex initial marker type with interactive handles for position scale and rotation to get started with maps of unknown or known non-north orientation.

    draggable handles would be O,N and Scale where O is the position(x,y), N the orientation, or rotational…

  11. add functionality for dealing with alternative map projections

    I was working on georeferencing a map of the Arctic and surrounding regions done in an azimuthal projection, but attempting to fit it to the OSM/MapQuest cylindrical projection simply did not work out. Also, a means of adding notes about a map might be nice too as there was no way to flag or otherwise indicate a (currently) un-georeferenceable map.

  12. add a button: Report Problem with Map

    I just tried to georeference and ended up with this map: http://britishlibrary.georeferencer.com/map/cUPNM96sjanZDMSmwY5oRu/201407062019-NNjMnZ/ which is a composition of two different maps in an image. I would like to have a button where I can report problems like these to a curator which will then take the appropriate steps (in this case split the image into two different maps, which can then be georeferenced). A button like this could prompt a form where the user can maybe enter the type of problem from a preselected list and add free text describing the problem. Also the possibility to enter an email address to…

  13. to fix the website, it doesn´t work for me at all. Doesn´t load the images.

    I can´t load any image at all. It seems the website is totally useless. I´ve georeferenced a couple of images, but I can´t do that anymore.

    There is a limit for uploaded maps into your georeferencer account. Please see the “Settings” section in “My maps”.

    We are sorry for the inconvenience. We implemented a new version of Georeferencer tool. Can you please try again and give us feedback?

    Thank you.

  14. View the maps in GIS and ArcMap

    Some guidance about how to view this stuff in GIS would be great. I tried using the KML To Layer tool in ArcMap without success. Can anybody help.

  15. synchronised zoom-in

    allow synchronised zoom-in across two maps when georeferencing based on points already georeferenced/saved. When one point is clicked, show approximate location of other in the other map.

  20. Compare two old maps next to / over each other without deformation

    We should add a mode to display two maps without deformation - either synchronized (when panning/zooming on one the other is displayed too) or overlayed...

    Already implemented – via My Maps. There is overlay mode and side-by-side viewer for two maps. In Georeferencer v4 we will add also mode for showing even more maps.
