[Talk-us] Which county next?

[Dale Puch]

A few suggestions:


   - A way to move the pointer without submitting the location.  In case the
   pointer is hiding something.  Or perhaps a checkbox to temporarily hide the
   pointer
   - You have a skip button, but no way to determine why it was skipped.
   Perhaps add buttons or check boxes for the reason it was skipped.  This will
   allow revisiting those items that need it by issue, like if better images
   become available, or better methods for identifying the point.  Possibly
   even manually surveying the points.  I think this is an important one to
   add.  Possible skip reasons I can think of.  Poor image, empty parcel,
   correct location, can't identify location from sat view (apartment, multiple
   entrances, multiple buildings ect.)
   - Can you overlay a parcel outline to positively identify which parcel
   (and it's limits) this refers to.
