farmOS-map training/instruction user guide/video
Having some user facing instructions would go a long ways. A simple instruction page that circles icons in red and describes what each does would be useful in itself. A video demonstrating how to use the drawing and editing controls would be even better.
@mstenta @jgaehring This seems like a good candidate to be documentation that we pull into farmOS.org. The distinction being this would be more of a user guide rather than developer docs.

Wow, just realizing we have a good start on this here: https://farmos.org/guide/mapping/ Let's get some images on that!!!
Thoughts on if this should be a part of farmOS-map or continue forward with the core farmOS user guide? There is likely benefit in having some language that is specific to farmOS core (asset geometries, asset map layers, etc)
I think adding to https://farmos.org/guide/mapping/ makes the most sense.
@symbioquine also proposed an idea on the dev call today: include a link to that page inside the farmOS-map sidebar.
The v1 docs had additional animated gifs (mp4s actually iirc) that demonstrated the basic functionality: https://v1.farmos.org/guide/areas/ - I just left those behind when I ported the user guide docs for v2, because they were no longer accurate representations. But I would love to add new ones again!
If we do, it probably makes sense to wait until we've resolved some of the currently open issues/questions around the edit controls - since it seems like those will be changing pretty soon.
