Can't tell which pin is current image in dense photo areas

Please test "View this and other nearby images on: OpenStreetMap" in an area with a dense amount of pictures. We can't tell which pin is the current image, as they are all buried together. Jidanni (talk) 00:39, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

I suspect this scaling problem is buried fairly deep in the mapping parts of Commons and not just in the Geogroup template. I snap many pictures in the density of the New York metro area, and use WikiShootMe even though in some places it shows a sea of red or green rather than individual red or green dots for the various data points. This problem is not quite as severe in Geogroup, which uses small pins rather than wide dots. Probably the best way to improve it would be to allow a deeper zoom. Maybe there would be a small help if the current image were a different color. Jim.henderson (talk) 12:09, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
