Currently, we have a panel with a map, which is inside panel and quite small. Its current use is only to display node location and location of other things from other panels. So if you read panels and you would like to know where some information is, you can check on the map.
But users also often search in opposite direction. Watching the map and explore it. And current small map is not useful for that. So we could add a functionality to current map panel, that after press on some button (or even anywhere on the map), an overlay popup is displayed into which map is resized over the rest of the content, almost filling the entire user's window. This map could be interactive, with layers of content from different panels users could disable/enable.
The tricky part is here interaction with panels, so there should be some way to load additional content (layers) panels are providing when user moves around the map. Small current map is fixed, so we just initially load content inside the view of the map. But as map would be dynamic, user could move around, so new information should be loaded and displayed.
Also other open nodes of the network should be displayed in this bigger map.
