Description

See what has been removed in https://github.com/openzim/maps/issues/58

According to @kelson42 (correct me if I'm wrong), the bare minimum to have this in a ZIM is to be able to:

  • display the pin on the map
  • user can move the pin (needs to support mouse + touchscreen)
  • user can copy resulting coordinates in his clipboard (including on touchscreen)
  • coordinates should be displayed next to the pin
  • this list probably needs to be refined further (especially what users can do with that, e.g. is "copy to clipboard" sufficient)

Research direction

Read issue #58 first to understand what was removed, then inspect the existing map and ZIM implementation. Clarify the interaction requirements for mouse and touchscreen input, coordinate display, and clipboard copying. Done means a pin can be displayed and moved, with its coordinates shown and copyable on supported devices.
