- Implementing a switch between satellite and street-style maps
The component should still place a tack on the map and pan to it on a server message indicating a location has been found. Dependent on the resolution of issue #3, the component might need to place multiple, visually distinct tacks.
The map currently looks like this, with no option for street view or satellite maps:
