Accessibility of adding geolocations to items

[allanaaa]

This is a question for a later discussion, but I am wondering about the accessibility of how to add map data to items.

There are two options - manually add map features visually using the map on an individual item's tab, or bulk-add data textually with CSV Import. I am wondering if we have assessed the accessibility of the manual additions.

We can paste in coordinates to the "address" field for a pin, but not for shapes, or for map bounds.

It is probably not too complicated to provide plain text fields to enter in GPS coordinates manually, without needing to use the map. I think shapes are just series of lat,long,lat,long,lat,long - yes? And lines are just lat,long,lat,long? And bounds are just four numbers - bottom-most, right-most, left-most, top-most? Though someone would need to generate that information elsewhere and then just plug it in to Omeka.

We may also want to add batch-editing for default views - for, say, entering bounds coordinates for a country across a few hundred items within that country, or something like that. I'm not sure how often the default view feature is used.

This may be a useful task for a new testing associate, to attempt working with the item mapping tab using different tools.
