Just saw a post on a military blog about Tactical NAV

one of the main thing it has that locus doesnt is drawing

this idea has been rejected by menion before

also I think the ATAK app has drawing.

while drawing is usefull for military mission planning, it may have more civilian uses.

Evernote used to have the ability to edit/marhup on top of a map note.

while you could do this wit a screenshot

a note layer than panned and moved as the map layer moved.

ive been talking with a local horse group about getting them all to move from OS maps to locus.

a lot of them while they use OS maps, they also have printouts of maps as they have to annotate while on horseback modifications and notes to the OS map...

while you can create notes for points, they need to draw path adjustments, where gates and hedges need to be moved, and this must be done with drawing not point notes

the layer doesnt need to be live shared, but of it could be exported as a map item...
