Add map to input page

[julled]

Map allows visualization of the input data ( specially the position).

Map should also allow setting a position by mouse.

Hacked together a little map view with the possiblity to add the lat/lon by clicking.

It would be nice if the simulation would return a GeoJSON Feature Collection with the results for presentation. Unfortunately I could only find a ascii representation :)

First, thanks for your work. I thought about this feature for some time. I think we should not include a map into this tool for a couple of reasons:

• This tool is intended for low bandwidth usage. The form should use as little data as possible.
• Organizations tasked with Search and Rescue operations will be able to work with raw coordinates. We're not talking about the average Google Maps users here. They will have maps available somewhere else (on paper, digital, etc) and will be able to extract and input coordinates.
• I think it would be more relevant to support the different notations for longitude and latitude (arc minutes and seconds instead of decimal system).

Couldnt we make it optional and in the default case disabled?

I think there are usecases where it is useful.

Land crews are not limited by bandwidth.

also a map could be used by the user to see wether the input is plausible before starting up the simulation.

Agreed. If it is opt in, then yes.
