Can we organize map markers and pins using folders or tags?

TL;DRZane Bien thinks map markers should be sortable through user folders, location hierarchy and tags, with the team saying they'll look into it, and Simon Bursey floating auto-filled deposit data as a possibility.

I think you should be able to. I think we should offer various ways of actually sorting through that data. So one of the ways that I think would be good is to be able to have user-generated folders so that you can organize your own data how you see fit, but also be able to organize it by hierarchical locations. So Stanton system and then planet, moon and so on, and be able to filter your markers that way. And possibly also tagging the markers, so you can tag them individually, and then that will go into the sharing of it, because you might want to only share a subset, right? So you need to have good ways of filtering by subsets.

And then being able to add notes to the map markers, titles, stuff like that, full labeling of things.

Yeah, I mean, we already showed the titling. I think we should be able to have that flexibility, because otherwise you don't want to be stuck in a box. So yeah, we'll look at that for sure.

Yeah, we're going to start drilling down into it. One suggestion that we probably will look into, we're not saying we're definitely going to do it, but we can potentially get data from the surroundings as well. So if you've got a mining deposit, we could potentially automatically say what's in that deposit on your little marker. So things like that we've got potential to do one day.
