A few suggestions:
- A way to move the pointer without submitting the location. In case the pointer is hiding something. Or perhaps a checkbox to temporarily hide the pointer - You have a skip button, but no way to determine why it was skipped. Perhaps add buttons or check boxes for the reason it was skipped. This will allow revisiting those items that need it by issue, like if better images become available, or better methods for identifying the point. Possibly even manually surveying the points. I think this is an important one to add. Possible skip reasons I can think of. Poor image, empty parcel, correct location, can't identify location from sat view (apartment, multiple entrances, multiple buildings ect.) - Can you overlay a parcel outline to positively identify which parcel (and it's limits) this refers to.
