What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
There is no default way to get back to a map that you left using a direct pin to another map. While there is a workaround by using a direct link pin back to the 'main/parent' map within the 'sub/child' map, this is not intuitive either to the viewer of the map or the person creating it. A simple button like the one articles that takes you back to the world's homepage would be nicer and more obvious. It could even be a toggleable feature, perhaps.How does this feature request address the current situation?
A default button to return someone to a previous or 'parent' map would end the clunkiness of having to manually set up a pin specificly for that purpose and remove a number of steps creators have to take to implement that workaround. It would just be a small QoL improvement!What are other uses for this feature request?
None that I can think of.The Team's Response
There is a good and solid case to be made about Map inheritance since maps TEND to have only one parent (there are exceptions to this) I would like to think a bit more about the connection of a map to it's parent and if it should be directly or via the related articles system - this is a bit confusing right now and it does need some love, I will grant you that. So this is being accepted as an investigation task.

on 2023-01-07 16:06Right now I get around this by including a map pin near the compas or scale that takes you back but it would be nice to have something more official.

on 2022-12-18 16:03back to browser button doesn't help if you come to the child map from somewhere else and relying on browser navigation is bad UX in my opinion.
