Clicking on city but getting region

[sasastanojkov]

Description

I am trying to shallowly inspect divisions layer. When trying to click on city Kragujevac in central Serbia. I get information about region instead of the city which is within that region. Since divisions are overlapping is there a way to get information about all divisions covering the location where I clicked or at least the smallest one?

What browser are you seeing the problem on? What version are you running?

Edge

The OS you're using

Windows 11

Steps to reproduce

Go to Kragujevac. Click on "Kragujevac" you will get information about region Central Serbia instead of information about city Kragujevac.

Hi sasastanojkov - yes, sometimes features are occluded by other features- in general you should be able to use the layers tool to turn off the layers you don't need.

Like so:

However, in this specific case I think you raise a good issue- the Kragujevac label is just a label we place on the map for location/awareness, but it does not represent an Overture Entity. If you hide the overture divisions and base themes (as I have in the screenshot above) clicking on the Kragujevac label doesn't do anything.

I'm not sure what the fix here is, but we might be able to do a better job of calling out what's an overture feature that's clickable/inspectable vs. what's just a label intended to help find your way around the map.

The problem here is not isolation by layer, it is having overlapping features within that layer. If I click on Kragujevac with DivisionArea type enabled, I am effectively clicking within the area of these 5 division areas (08568f62bfffffff01a51457e0ffd448, 08568f62bfffffff019c83960b44e2fd, 08568f62bfffffff01bf51eb8704904c, 085251237fffffff012047ab2595f4e9, 085640683fffffff014bde13651bf8ab) since there is no logical way of deducing what I want I would need to have either filter to remove all except one or checklist or some other mechanism of filtering or to get all of them. Clicking on Kragujevac might as well be me wanting to inspect country Serbia, but I am still getting region.

I see! We do have issue #110 as an improvement to allow for 'disambiguation' of what is clicked on- right now it is very hard to tease features apart and view individual things if they're occluded by other features.
