Thanks, Nick, this looks very useful.

A couple of things:

- the tag editor pane pops up on top of the map, so it often covers up the
thing I'm trying to read off the map. I wonder if you could (a) make the
text smaller and closer together and then make the pane smaller, maybe use
width more than height and (b) put the map as close to the top of the window
as possible and the dialog pane as close to the bottom as possible so they
don't overlap. Or something like that.

- the markers themselves also obscure things, especially in dense areas of
coastline or well mapped areas. Could they be little 'x' or the outline of
the marker as it is now rather than filled?

- an is_in value remembered from last time that could be applied at the
touch of a button would be useful - I keep needing the same one over and
over.
