Improve usability of the Map/Assets section #173

Open trevorlang opened 2 years ago

trevorlang commented 2 years ago

It is not clear that the “show” button would trigger the item to display on the map. Once the item is displayed, it's not super intuitive which asset is being displayed. In the default state, when the bounding box is displayed, it may not be intuitive that it's the spatial extent being displayed. This could be improved by using a legend that denotes the spatial extent, or whatever imagery is actively being displayed. It's also not very clear what the user should expect when “show” is clicked, as assets can be either a bounding box or imagery.

Indeed, this is one of the most annoying things right now.

I made slight improvements for beta.1, we need to further improve this in the next versions.
