improvements to vessel location visualization

I love the vessel icon feature where you can see the small image of a vessel moving along the vessel track. This is great for being able to see how vessels might interact with each other and other behavior patterns. What i think would be really helpful is being able to freeze the locations of the boats at a given period of time. For example I was trying to see how close two vessels were to each other at a specific moment. You can get a rough idea by dragging the cursor, but what I'd like to do is lock the vessels in place and use the map ruler to measure more precisely. It would also be useful for being able to take a screenshot of vessel locations, perhaps with the specific time popping up as a label.
Relatedly, it would be nice to be able to hover over the track itself in the map, and see the time of the particular location in the time bar. Or at least be able to click on the track and see the time displayed in the map.
