Draw and edit feature tools required

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What new feature would you like to see implemented? How will you use it?

It could be very interesting, on the map side, to implement some editing tools 
in order to move, edit, delete... features (point, line, polygon)

I hope to see you soon for more interesting functions

This is a bit of bookkeeping for all our feature requests - please excuse the 
extra email.

At the moment you can edit points through the table view and click on the earth 
icon in the geometry field of the point you want to edit, but this is 
impossible for lines and polygons.

I'm trying to map about 12,000 street intersections, and when the mapping 
function doesn't place the points in the right spot, it's utterly unwieldy to 
fix them. It would be a huge help to be able to pick up a point and move it to 
the right spot. The site www.getlatlon.com does a great job of that sort of 
interface -- it should be easy to plug something like that into Fusion Tables.

That aside, this is an amazing tool. Thanks for developing it.

I work with GIS professionally - e.g. PostGIS, MapServer, OpenLayers, 
GeoServer, QuantomGIS etc. I've just started using Fusion Tables a 
couple of weeks ago and it's great!

Here is why I need this feature:

I have a some maps which I've maintained so far in "My Maps". I exportet the 
data as KML and uploaded it to Fusion Tables. Works fine. Now I can edit the 
column values, filter data, add and redefine columns etc as in other GIS 
applications. And I can add the data as a live link to Google Earth, Google 
Maps etc. 

But I also need to edit the GEOMETRY! Sure, I can click the KML as 
pure text directly in the column, but that is obviously not an option. 
I need to be able to edit it visually the way I used to do in My Maps. 

It is not an option to continue using My Maps, because I want to alter 
the data model (add columns etc) and see the changes live on the web.

Why I need this feature:

I have a map that requires users input for building the database.  I need the 
user to be able to visually mark a point on the map and add information to 
columns for that point and have it added to the fusion table.  The information 
submitted needs to be able to be viewed immediately after submission.  

It would also be good if there was a notification alerting me that someone has 
added a point.

• Added labels: Tag-Geo

By the way, my work-around at the moment is to produce the geometry in Google 
Earth, then export to KML and import to the table. If I make new objects, I can 
just export those. If I change existing objects, I can merge those into the 
table. But it is still a hazzle and not generic.

In my opinion is not feature request any more. Since Gmaps API comes with 
drawing API few days ago you can easily edit your geometry using that Drawing 
Library.

Perhaps the solution could be as easy as enabling the Google Maps Engine Lite 
interface in the KML preview function, when you edit the row.

Also, having the ability to start a new record from the map layout with drawing 
tools would create a geo-oriented method of creating data vs. the "edit row" 
form found in the table or card layouts.

This would help me ask my pool of users to add new road project info using a 
map instead of a card with the "edit row" form.
