[Feature] Maps: POI Layer for MapLibre #531
Description
Feature Category
Content Management (ZIM, Maps, Collections)
Problem Statement
I love the maps. I've created pmtiles for canada and central america using pmtiles.exe
Only one thing was missing, coordinated information and tracking. With POIs you can add "Don't go here", "Neighbor with Guns and same views", "Holy f* don't go here"
Proposed Solution
Add a POI layer. Have a drop down for description (water, food, custom) with custom notes so any possible thing can be logged. All of it retains fully offline, very useful for coordinated retrieval in a catastrophic crisis, fun with kids, or who knows what.
Alternative Solutions
I have a PR I can submit that adds a POI layer. I've resolved the tiling URL issue that comes from adding in the layer, and I've resolved other bugs. Fully tested on Nomad 1.30.2 test env with 8gb RAM.
Use Case
POI is useful for so, so, many things.
Who would benefit from this feature?
