Hi!

I know there have been MANY conservations started about customizing maps and building a better UX. From custom map pins, the type of map that’s displayed (terrain, the default, etc), and how the current location marker works (right now the orientation pops too far out and you have to zoom back in to locate where you are). Is there any development talk about any of this? I think the map screen within an app can be and is very important to the premise of an app (like mine) and being able to do all of these things and others would be VERY helpful in building an even better one.

Thanks!

Thanks Santiago! It seems geolocation is an issue, I would need that.
