I think he wanted a way to temporarily turn off the map data, so to be able to turn it on again when he zoomed back in to a new area to start mapping there, so that solution won't help I guess... (it's also something I've been wondering about when I was panning across a city which took a while rendering the map data every time I moved around) Right now you have to switch to the "view" page, zoom out, move around, zoom in again and switch back to "edit", but I guess the "view" part doesn't work when the area isn't mapped or rendered yet for example, so you have to either guess the new working location, or do a lot of panning in Potlatch.
