The score calculation on world maps is inconsistent. The score calculation depends on whether world maps include locations at the South Pole and Northern Canada close to the North Pole. Mapmakers do not intend for these locations to appear, but add these boundary locations to increase the overall scores on the map slightly (as well as the 5K radius). Other mapmakers do not add these locations, thus the map scoring is slightly different despite the general extent of the distribution being the same. Please add a checkbox in the mapmaking screen to opt for "World Map Scoring" as the calculation basis for the map, so that scores were calculated as if locations were placed all over the globe. If the option is not checked, using the current calculation for regional maps is perfectly fine. Thanks!

The title should be self-explanatory, but the point is that it would be cool if you could add a way to sort your own created maps into folders, like on Discord servers. Especially if you have created a lot of maps, it's easy to lose track. Another cool sorting function would be to be able to choose whether the maps (whether in the folder or not) should be sorted alphabetically upwards or downwards, just like in online stores (by price or date).

Many community-made maps only use official Google coverage. There's no 100% reliable way to make a map that only uses official coverage today, because Google frequently breaks coverage. Even if map authors pin every location to a specific date using a Pano ID, the pano can shift, and GeoGuessr will fall back to loading whatever the default location is at that coordinate­­­­­­--even if it's unofficial. For these cases, it would be great if map authors could configure a map as being official-only. GeoGuessr could then use the new Maps API sources: [GOOGLE] filter to only load official coverage, even if a Pano ID was deleted. This could be a simple flag that only applies in-game, but it could also apply in the map maker, allowing players to handpick quality coverage more easily.

I would like us to be able to insert texts into our maps created when a specific location appears, something similar to what happens in campaign mode. With this we could explain, or tell a curiosity about the place that appears in the game, it would help me a lot with the thematic maps that I create

If you currently want to generate any challenge seeds in a given order, you need to generate until you find the right one. Same if you have more than 5 points in your map. Could it be possible for the map owner to generate a seed with a set of 5 selected points in a chosen order ?

Recently, bugs have been fixed on "My Maps" page, which is great ! However, the page is still not handy to use and here are some changes that are needed so we finally have easy access to all maps ! Sort maps by button (choices) : Alphabetical, Date (newest to oldest), Date (oldest to newest), Popularity (number of games played/likes, as you want) By default, I would put "Date (newest to oldest)". Currently, it's "Date(oldest to newest)" Research bar to find the map you want in a few seconds

Would like to have the option to publish a map only for me and my friends to play, instead of publishing for the whole world or keeping it unpublished. PS: I don't actually know if this already exists or not, but, if it does, it certainly is a very well hidden feature that should be more obvious for the mapmaker.
