Very hard to pinpoint even the country, without borders, different colors, etc.
SUMMARY
The map for sunset and sunrise at manual location is not too good
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings
2. Go to Colors & Themes -> Night Light
3. Set "Switching times:" to: "Sunset and sunrise at manual location"
OBSERVED RESULT
1. The map is very barebones.
There are no borders shown, no labels show and no cities shown.
There are also no different colors per country.
The only thing that helps you orient on it are water parts.
If your location is very far from a water part you can even miss the whole
country.
If the country is small and there are other countries nearby, most likely you
will miss putting the pin in the right country.
Look at the attached screenshot to see how hard it is to pinpoint any of Czech
Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary or Serbia.
2. The map container is pretty small so there's a lot a zooming in and moving
the map.
EXPECTED RESULT
Even if you use this method to setting the location, either for privacy reasons
or because you don't have internet access, the map should be more helpful to be
able to set a more accurate location.
I expected the map to at least show some borders outlines, as even for me,
knowing enough geography is very hard to pinpoint an accurate location without
at least some borders.
For others I think some country names, city names or at least some dots for
the capital cities would be nice.
Or show them as tooltips to not make everything crowded on the map.
Still the borders would be very nice or / and some big rivers.
2. With so much space left unused below the map and coordinates fields, it
would be nice if the map container would be bigger by default so we don't have
to zoom in and move the map so many times.
Or at least make the the map container resizable, so we can make it bigger and
to save more clicks and dragging that we would have to do otherwise.
This is a world map, not a country map so it would be nice to have more space
by default.
