I'd like to see several improvements made to the SVG views:

  • Grid Markers: I'd like reference letters/numbers to appear along the top/bottom and left/right edges similar to a city map.  So if it says you can find John Smith on Genomap Smith A14, you can look at that Genomap at location A14 and find him.  Right now, it is too difficult to look all over the map for a particular name.
  • Reference Tags: A lot of my genomaps have multiple links to other genomaps (eg. two sisters marrying two brothers or cousins from another family/genomap).  It is very difficult to find the names on the SVG output, and even harder on a hardcopy ... the only time it is easy is when you have the Genopro application itself.  What I'd like is a "Tag" next to any hyperlinked names saying look at "Genomap location Xn".  This would be implemented along with the Grid Markers above.  This way it would be much faster to find people using the SVG view and hardcopies.
  • Fixed Legend: Right now, you can insert a Legend by clicking on a few drop down menus.  But inserting a Legend adds a bunch of unnecessary people to your tree, and even more if you insert a Legend on each genomap.  I realize these Legends are great in their flexibility .. you can edit them, put them where you want them, etc.  I would prefer a Legend like the one that appears in say MSProject.  You decide on whether you want it on every page, none, or front page, and the location (top, bottom, left, right, etc) and that's that.  The items don't appear in any of your reports or tables.
  • Larger Fonts:  I'd like larger fonts to be made available for the Labels.  Right now, I think there are 5? sizes available.  When I print the trees up on 3' x 4' plotter paper, the Extra Large font Labels are barely visible.  It would be nice if you could specify front sizes as in MSPowerPoint like 44 or 60 so the labels can be read across the room.
