I have just started using them and so far, DDB maps have been great - they save you the trouble of printing and are a very worthwhile addition to my games. All of the currently added features work well and are easy to use. That aside, here's what I'd like to see from DDB Maps:
- The ability to change a monster's sizing, on the go. I've had trouble getting creatures to the correct size on maps with the rather minimal size category scaling. For example, creatures might be listed as in the broader size category huge, but there is quite a large difference between the sizing of for example, a hill giant and a storm giant. However, they would both be exactly the same size on Maps.
-A duplicate key on monster listings. When renaming swarm monsters, it's quite a pain to individually rename every one.
-Radii for spells and other effects would be a cool feature - if you could select a spell or input details manually of say, a 40ft sphere centred on the caster, and visualise it on screen, it would be very handy.
To pre-empt the mods: The Maps team does not read the forums. Short feedback points, like you've raised here, should be entered in the Feedback button on the Maps VTT itself.

…and then I swing him into a hedge.
