make one for truck drivers
Could you create a program that helps new truck drivers be able to read a Atlas and trip plan. They would need to understand how the key works, legends and how to read if there are bridges, restricted roads....or do you have something like this that we could get access to?

Search box ineffectivre
It's my first time on the site. I teach ancient history and tried to search Ancient Mesopotamia and got zero results. Based on that I don't anticipate using this website.

Annotate by Typing
Can we have the ability to annotate on a map by typing instead of drawing, and the typed notes would stay visible all the time, not only by clicking on a pin?

Import data for new users error
I'm trying to import my students' user data but keep getting this message (see attached screenshot). If I enter it manually one by one, there's no field for school. How do I resolve this issue?

Why can't I see my students
There needs to be a way for teachers to see the students that we have added. I know I added the students, but they don't appear. It is frustrating as I have to make multiple accounts to get them in.

Physical Map with Political Boundaries/Labels Overlay Options AND Smaller Pins
(1) Most map studies for students require physical maps with political boundaries, but NO NAMES OR PHYSICAL FEATURE LABELS. For example, students need to be able to identify and label "Rub' al Khali" on the physical map, but they also need to have the outline of the countries' borders so that they can locate each country and label it themselves. The best way to accomplish this might be to create separate overlays: "political borders", "capital locations (pins marking the locations of capitals without the names of the capitals)", "country names", "physical feature names" overlays.
(2) The pins feature is useful…

Map Legends on Downloads
When I download the customized maps it doesn't include the legends. When my students are looking at an economic map they will have no clue what the colors mean without a legend on the download. The maps and share feature zoom in and out too much with one click. I cannot capture exactly the area I'm trying to get. It either doesn't fit in the window or is too far away to see, have labels, or include information I don't want.

Ancient Empires
It would be great to see the Fertile Crescent and Ancient Egypt. I don't really care about modern Egypt - they aren't really that important. It would make a great addition to any curricula.

Saving Mapshots
Mapshots are not saving pins when edited. There is NO option to "Save" or "Save As" if needed after you alter a mapshot. This makes it difficult if a class is trying to track something point by point or day by day such as the Iditarod Race and the Musher they are following. Please fix this ASAP. My poor students are getting frustrated especially since we are still having trouble getting kicked out of the program randomly. :-(
