Problem Statement
In GSAK I very often use a polygon to filter for caches in a certain region/area I plan to go caching.
I typically draw the polygon in HTML file created by the "Leaflet Maps" macro, which has a very simple polygon drawing tool. As far as I know, that macro uses the same javascript code as the GSAK "Polygon/Line Drawing Tool" available at https://gsak.net/leaflet/polygoneditor.php
Its result is a CSV type of polygons where each line consists of two comma separated values "lat, lon" and each pair is separated by a line feed. The first and last line contain the same point to close the polygon (in the case of a line, this is not required).
openSAK does not currently offer this filtering possibility.
Proposed Solution
In a first step I would like to see the possibility to filter for caches inside such a polygon (the points to be provided by the user) or alternatively, caches within a distance of "x units" from a provided line.
An optional second step could be a tool to also create such lines/polygons, but until that becomes possible, the GSAK tools could easily be used once the first step has been implemented.
