-todo: MAPPING
+todo: MAPPING	
+	STATE: 
+		Did a quick overview and looked into OSM etc. 
+		Not as straightforward as I had hoped, but maybe doable if put into the hands of the end user which backend they want to use
+		Can use a lib to provide the ability to show a map in abstract UI form and user picks back end map provider to use so we are out of the loop
+		I'm thinking the best way to approach figuring this out is to start from the Javascript UI libs and work backwards as things like leaflet and mapstraction
+			etc are good at documenting using alternate backends with their UI libs.
+		So when come back to this look at the UI libs first again

+	RESEARCH:
+		Hmm... more complex that I thought, they don't want software using their own server map data much, there are alternatives including hosting it ourselves 
+		ECONOMICS / PLAN
+			MAPS are not free from anyone really, maybe the way it should work is:
+				We include a widget for many back ends using the mapstraction library or whatever is out there
+				User can pay a service and set an api key in AyaNova to use that service
+				We could also be that service charging XX a month for mapping to pay for the cost of the mapping service with DO 
+					(definitely doable for us, just requires a powerful server which would cost, if things take off we could absorb that cost maybe but for now)
+		OWN TILE SERVER (DOCKER!)
+			https://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/
+			Sounds like it's incredibly intensive and probably something we do not want to do, but it's an option
+			Needs tons of space and powerful cpu about $220 a month on current digital ocean droplet plans:
+				 "300GB+ of fast storage, 24GB of memory, and a quad-core processor for the entire planet"
+				 32GB	4vCPUs	6TB	3x	300GB	$0.327	$220

+		OSM CLIENT JS
+			https://openlayers.org/ - older more complex client lib (Maybe not mobile friendly?)
+			https://leafletjs.com/ - newer less powerful but eaiser lib? (mobile friendly)
+		WRAPPER FOR ANY BACKEND MAP SOURCE
+			http://mapstraction.com/  (note that there are alternatives that are free to OSM possibly like some mapquest and microsoft stuff perhaps that's worth looking into also if people have paid for google?)			
+				Why Use Mapstraction?
+				Code your application once and once only; then switch your mapping provider as you desire, depending on your personal tastes, the quality of maps in your area or any other reason you can think of.
+				Switching mapping providers in Mapstraction is often as simple as changing just two lines of code in your application.
+				Mapstraction Features
+					Support for all the major mapping APIs
+						CloudMade
+						ESRI ArcGIS
+						Google – v2 and v3
+						Leaflet
+						MapQuest and MapQuest Open
+						Microsoft Bing – v6 and v7
+						Nokia Here
+						OpenLayers
+						Ordnance Survey OpenSpace
+						Nokia Ovi
+						Yandex
+					Dynamic switching from one maps API to another
+					Show Markers, Points, Lines and Polygons on your map
+					Add image overlays and base map tiles to your application

 todo: can I support keycodes for saving in AyaNova and other shit that are the same as in v7 or as much as possible, i.e. ctrl-s to save (or whatever was defined)
 	watch out the report editor uses a bunch of hotkeys pre-defined
