Description

Users who are not so active (and therefore less aware of existing discussions) may add issues that already exist.

For this reason, at the point of adding an issue title, Cyclescape could have a semantic name matching. Likewise, the map view should have a button that says 'Show existing issues' that adds the existing issues nearby.
