Realise I posted this in the wrong forum... better here:
I have been doing some big chunks of data entry, so have finally hit a bunch of "love to have" features as I worked through it.
Pin differentiation was one of them. Several suggestions:
- Colour options - but can understand the issues here in visibility
- Shape options
- Pin Text options - probably the simplest. When you define a pin you already enter data with it (or link) - just being able to include a few (1-3) letters/numbers that is shown on the pin at all times could give us some easy options to differentiate pins and match them up to a simple hand crafted text based key. This remains useful even if you decide to initiate the other options above. It also works when you convert to web, print in black and white, etc.
I will go and find some other forum threads for my other annoyances
