Feature: Go-To locator

We have added a new goto locator filter.

The goto indicator takes in the following strings:

  • A pair of x and y coordinates (separated by a comma or space).
  • An OSM, Leaflet, or OpenLayers formatted URL.
  • A Google maps URL.

The logic of the XY string is as follows:

  • If the canvas CRS isn't WGS84:
    • If the coordinate fits within WGS84 bounds, add a WGS84 result (this is weighted to have higher priority than the canvas CRS result below).
    • If the coordinate fits within the canvas CRS bounds, add a canvas CRS result.
  • If the canvas CRS is WGS84:
    • If the coordinate fits within the WGS84 bounds, add a WGS84 result.
