 Can we have a popup moved to a different part of the screen to control printed layout?
 
-So far we have investigated this approach:
- * [wiki:BluePrintGISPrinting Print to PDF via Java Applet]
- * [http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/ticket/161 print to Image file by converting PDF to Image]
-However this will only be able to see Feature Layers exposed as web services (KML/GeoRSS) & it is hard to get detailed control of the output.
-
-We've also considered trying to integrate a screen capture tool into the browser, e.g. using Flash or Java, but haven't found anything suitable yet.
-
-Perhaps we're better off looking at using a print.css to allow the browser's print functionality to work:
- * [wiki:BluePrintCSS#PrintView]
- * We want the Legend inside the Ext window - ideally able to hover & be moved to a place where it doesn't obstruct anything key
+We have a basic [wiki:BluePrintCSS#PrintView print.css] which means that the normal browser Print functionality gives a reasonable print.
  * Should we hint to go into Landscape mode?

-We could also really use a 'Zoom to Area' feature which allows selecting a location (i.e. Tehsil in this case) & zooming to that Bounds.

+We could also really use a 'Zoom to Area' feature:
+ * Autocomplete box to search our internal Locations (filter out level='XX', as-usual)
+ * Upon selection it zooms to the Bounds (if Polygon) or just the Center with zoom+2 (if Point)
+ * This could initially replace the Geonames searchCombo, but later it would be ideal if the search 1st checked our internal features &, if that fails, then search Geonames/Google/Yahoo geocoders
 
 For WMS layers which we serve via our own !GeoServer, we can refine the DPI output for these requests:

 === Shelter Registry ===
  * On the map, where it shows the shelter, it should show the comments as well, so that one could easily find the requisite facilities. These facilities should be searchable though.
