[Feature Request] A few map requests
By and large, the reason I came to Obsidian Portal was the maps, and I'm super excited to get mine up and running, but I've got a few bones to pick with the current system.
1) There's no hard-edge to the maps, so you often see the edges of the image. I'm not sure if that's fixable with the current API, but it would be nice.
2) There's no option for a floating scale, legend, or compass, so you're forced to assume up is north, and you just hope that your players will head down to the bottom left corner to see what the scale is. Finally, if you have mystery symbols, they just get to guess. This could be fixed outside of the Google Map... allow simple editing on the page of the individual map so we can add text and images.
Otherwise, I'm stoked that this is even here.

It'd also be nice if the "full view" (the current middle level) was the default zoom instead of the zoomed in view.
HEX: E6E2DF
RGB: 230,226,223
HSV: 18,8,230
so if you change your image edges to lay on that color instead of white as a background it will blend.
