Hi Everyone,
I would like to invite your feedback on [1] prototype of Project-'UploadWizard:OSM embedding' [ user/password is mediawiki/mw ].
This project is about enhancing the image upload process for Wikimedia Commons.The main goal of the OSM embedding project is to provide map interface to the UploadWizard. We can not expect each and every uploader to know exact location where image being uploaded was taken, or to use location enabled camera/phone to take the image. With introduction of map interface, uploader can easily choose location coordinates for uploaded images.
Detailed project description can be found at [2].
Functioning of embedded map :
- On valid coordinates/location inputs widget first loads a static map which on 'click' will initialize leaflet powered dynamic map - Address search - ' type' or 'importance' specific zoom for various kinds of locations on address search - .Dynamic updation of coordinate fields and location field on leaflet map interaction and vice versa
Kindly give your suggestions for map widget- design as it needs to be improved, also propose features and/or improvements in current features. Please share your insights at [3].

Ack, I wish I had known about this earlier. Most of these features had already been implemented for UploadWizard, but the patches were never polished enough to be merged: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/12352/ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/12353/
I would be good to at least compare against your implementation and see if there are any ideas that would be useful to incorporate.

A few suggestions:
*I'm also not sure why you don't go straight for the dynamic map.
*I tried the address search with "Australian Museum", and it returned a very zoomed out map of Sydney. Coordinates chosen by a photographer can usually be accurate to the nearest 10m or so, so I think you should always start quite zoomed in if you have locked onto an address.
*It doesn't seem possible to "drag" the map around as it is in Google Maps. That is more intuitive that clicking to re-center (although both options would be fine).
