The new product owner for Maps is starting a feedback program of sorts. Also, he's clearly reading the comments on this post! Go help make Maps better.

This is the first page of the survey. Not sure how I feel about it.

I mean, if they are going to ask you about things they haven't released, this is very standard.....for every industry on the planet.

And,,, this is what you get if you want to take the survey, but do not want to be contacted by them.

It looks like they only want to hear from certain people. Those who want to participate further. I thought is was a different survey type.

Two things I would really like for Maps are:

1) An undo function (CTRL-Z). Too often I accidentally click on “reveal all” or cover up a part of the map when I had intended to reveal it, or I accidentally delete a PC icon instead of a dead monster’s icon. It would be great if I could just CTRL-Z undo those mistakes!

2) Layers or some other way to hide/reveal things like secret doors. Instead of having to draw a bad S on the screen, it would be nice to have layers with the DM version underneath the player map so I can reveal a secret door (or something else thats on the DM map but not the player one).

Mention those in the comments (though I'm sure both have been). Layers is 100% needed for me to move off Foundry.

No, they only want you to volunteer to be part of a test/survey group if you are willing to sign an NDA). They are literally replying to some of the comments on the original post, and are 100% listening.

Ah, I thought you meant this thread. LOL.

I have mentioned them via the Maps feedback form before as well. I’m not logged in to DDB on my phone, so I’ll make sure to add them to the DDB thread comments when I get my computer back from the shop (needed to have the CPU cooling system replaced).

I'm sure they read this site also, given some of the replies we see at times.....but ya, DNDbeyond is more effective than here.

Done!
