Interesting discussion 🙂

A higher zoom level when you use the GPS on a "select from map" would help. We can consider that if the GPS is used to select a place, we will probably want to select a place very close to the location, or at least most of the time. For the moment the default zoom level needs the user to zoom in a lot before selecting the feature.

A filter based on distance would also help a lot :

> hello everyone, I would like to know if it is possible to display the entities on the map according to a radius around the collector. example display all entities that are 10 meters from the collector. If it is possible how to do it?

QGIS uses yellow by default for selected items.
