For the offline basemaps, when the user is take to the satellite imagery to select an area, it would be great to have some geographic labels to help orient the user to locations. Also an option to zoom to current location would be helpful. These are available for the analysis and navigation windows, but not to select study region for imagery download.

Thanks, Karis! Will do!

@gino-m I have a pretty good idea (I think) of how to implement this, but @'ing you in case you have input

Would showing the Google Maps default basemap when selecting offline areas instead of satellite view help here?

Filed #739 to track.

Yeah we just need to render in hybrid instead of satellite if I'm understanding the request correctly.

Let's show to hybrid basemap and figure out a way overlay the tile extents (semi-opaque mask?).

This now works when online. For this to work for uncached areas while offline we'd need to do something like #1976
