Control visibility of map objects for individual users
Our SAR team is really loving SARTopo (Caltopo on the phones), but there's a feature that would be really useful for team training that I haven't yet figured out how to do: Limit who can see certain map objects. For example, we'll draw a sector boundary and it gets pushed to everyone's phone, that's great. We put a subject to be found in that sector and mark their location, that's not so great if it goes to everyone's phone. It would be nice if there was a way to define certain map objects as only visible to, say, "trainers", and other objects visible to everyone. To accomplish this at a recent training we ended up making two maps, but that's kind of clunky.

I'll add another ping for this feature - On a recent criminal-case search, sensitive evidence was located by a search team. It would have been extremely useful to be able to add this as a clue/marker that is only visible to search managers, not to all the other parties that have access to the map! Please consider adding this!
