Filters and search in "Mapgl"

The important filters in the overlay map are Edge which remove and adding the tunnels lines from the map and circles who removes the sites themselves.

The search in the map will zoom on the site that was searched but the map will be refreshed based on the refresh time configured (default is 1m) of the panel and location will be back to default. If temporary investigation is done change the refresh time from 1m to off. To change that permanently edit the map widget and change the view from fit to data to tour preferred location.
