Often, I'll play maps of my own as I'm working on them, just to see how they play and whether the spots are gettable, centered correctly, whatever. Because of this, I sometimes show up on my own maps' leaderboards as having decent scores, which I feel disincentivizes others from playing since obviously I have foreknowledge of generally where handpicked spots are. It's possible to 'remove' scores by exporting map data, and importing that back into a new map, but this wipes the entire leaderboard and isn't what I'm after.

Currently, map creators can add collaborators, but there is no way to transfer full ownership of a map to another user. This creates problems when the original creator is no longer active, changes account, or simply wants to hand control over to someone else. Allowing a map to be fully transferred would make long-term maintenance much easier for community projects and collaborative map makers. In addition, both creators and collaborators can only test a map after it has been published. This makes it difficult to refine locations, check playability, or fix issues without exposing an unfinished map to the public. A private “playtest mode” would allow creators to try the map exactly as players will experience it, but without making it visible in the public map list. These two features together would greatly improve the map-making workflow: creators could safely pass their projects to others when needed, and teams could properly test maps before publishing them, ensuring better quality and smoother collaboration.

Any newly ceated Polygon to appear at the top of the list of areas, not at the bottom. When adding multiple polygons the scrolling can become quite annoying.

As a map creator, you will want to test your maps before going live with them. It is indeed possible for makers to play their own maps even when they're in draft status. But changes to the map, though saved in the mapmaker, will currently not be pushed to the actual map unless you publish it. It would be good if it were possible to push the current status of the draft map in a way that wouldn't make it public for everyone! I've been told that this used to be possible, so perhaps that code is still lying around somewhere :)

I would like to see the names of the players who like the maps I created.

It would be nice if it was possible to select many locations from my markers and add them to a map

If you want to make a map like "Disneyland", you have to draw a custom polygon. OpenStreetMap is a map software that stores these polygons (among other things) for open use. Using that software, users could just enter the name of the area and the system could easily fetch the border and automatically make the map.

I would like to see a "My map" page that allows me to sort the maps and create folders to make them easier to manage. I don't understand what the current sorting is based on, and it is hard to manage.

Have an option in mapmaking so that if i have polygons or points in any GIS formats, shape, json and the like you can attach those to make the map instead of manually add all the vertex.

Ich habe gerade den Spielmodi "Battle Royale Countries" gespielt und habe dabei eine Ungenauigkeit bemerkt, die ich als respektlos empfinde und die ich euch mitteilen möchte: Kosovo wird dort nicht als eigenständiges Land dargestellt, sondern als Teil von Serbien. Kosovo hat 2008 seine Unabhängigkeit erklärt und wird mittlerweile von über 100 Staaten weltweit als souveränes Land anerkannt. Die Ignoranz dieses Umstands kann gerade für Menschen aus der Region oder mit Bezug dazu verletzend wirken. Auch im Hinblick auf internationale Standards wie die Darstellung in den Vereinten Nationen oder anderen globalen Plattformen wäre es angebracht, Kosovo als eigenes Land zu berücksichtigen. Geoguessr ist zwar "nur" ein Spiel ist und dient primär zur Unterhaltung aber geografische und politische Genauigkeit tragen nicht nur zur Authentizität bei, sondern verhindern auch unbeabsichtigte Missverständnisse oder Konflikte.
