Add Map Marker Duplication

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

As a map editor I would like the ability to copy/duplicate an existing map so that I can quickly add simliar markers to a map.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

If I am adding a marker with the the same data/icons/properties this will make it quick and easy to accomplish this task without the need to enter the same data over and over.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

Possible adding the same marker to other maps if needed.

The Team's Response

Thanks for the suggestion! This is accepted under consideration and might come in a future major update to maps.

    This would reduce a lot of duplication of effort.

    Sad that this isn't receiving the attention it deserves.

    Very useful if you're adding a bunch of markers for the same type of location, like all cities or all rivers, and want them consistent.

    It would be really useful to duplicate an existing map (markers and all) espcially if the map shows a change of events.   For example a World Map up a cataclysmic event in the world may have more cities and nations, and then this would drastically change after said event. Rather than editing the main map (which may be useful to retain) you'd have to start again, but if you could duplicate and then edit the World Map for after said event it would allow greater consistency.
