Ideas

1. What is the general goal of the feature?
Currently, multiple options are displayed using AppCompatImageButtons on map fragment. Shifting to using Floating Action Button can provide a fresher look to the Geowidgets. I am attaching a wireframe and a screenshot of the app.

I used mini and normal Floating Action Buttons, and also changed the placement of the buttons a little bit.

Your views and feedback on this are welcome. :slight_smile:

At long last we have taken action in this direction! Thanks again for the initial sketches, @Saumia.

We are now using Material 3 guidelines which recommends square buttons.
