Could I request a toggle on/off switch in the "map" view so you can see the borders of the regions (obviously it'll just be a grid that resizes with the zoom level?

When looking at parcels on the map, it is impossible to tell whether two adjacent parcels are on the same region without actually going there to see where the border fits.

When I am looking for land, I am quite specific in knowing what I want, and one of those requirements is usually if I have to buy multiple parcels to join to get the size I want, then it would be helpful to know that they are at least in the same region, rather than being effectively useless by being on adjacent regions, should I want to join them into one.

Thank you for reading.

Lewis

Sure, you can request it--let's make sure it doesn't get lost though, Lewis. Please commit to a Feature Voting Tool proposal and get others interested. Get word out, and you can let me know as it burgeons.

I know it sounds like a simple tweak; we have many requests like this and it helps to prioritize them (another one is "changing the colors of the Mini-Map";).

And of course you can always see the region name in the menu bar.
