* Support for and intelligent detection of a variety of coordinate formats including LAt/Lon, utm, and township and range. This would be really useful when dealing with old well or surveyors logs etc.
* Better support for terrain features. Google is getting better here but for a while "Mount Rainier" was sending you to the parks business office.
* Better support for localized search. This ties into the last one, a frequent use for me is to be zoomed in on a general area and want to find an obscure creek or peak.
* Better support for non driving use cases. Google has a nasty habit of resolving things like unquoted locations to the nearest drivable street address which is really stupid when you are using it to find a wilderness lake or something.
* Finer grained search by type.
(FWIW I run hillmap.com so most of my desires spring from the needs of a service targeted at hikers and backcountry skiers.)
