Search by coordinates
Andrea Sánchez-Tapia (she/her)
Hi I don't know if this exists already and I am not finding it. If a search by coordinates (eg adding 3.039384, 106.071428 to the search) could be made available that would be really helpful to navigate as a complement to location names.

Of course Matt. The specific example was that I had a person asking for a very small area who does not appear listed by location name (the Anambas Islands). The person probably knew about this and sent the coordinates as well.
I had to go to Google maps to check an alternate name and then scroll by hand to the place towards the coordinates in our map. That was not difficult of course but for some areas it would help.
(Another piece of context is that I reply to several external users all the time so my requests to the map tend to be quick to make sure I am not misrepresenting anything)

Thanks for this feedback Andrea Sánchez-Tapia (she/her) ! Please could you provide some more information on the use case? What would being able to search by coordinates unlock for you?
