As usual, please post here if you have any feedback or encounter any issues with this build. I am especially interested in any feedback you guys provide on the new features (what works well, what doesn't, what could be better). I have lots of ideas for expanding upon the Map Overlay feature, so I'm really excited about that one in particular.
