Both works when you go to View->Dive site edit (that's still capitalized wrong)

If "Enter coordinates from world map" is chosen, then the orange bar at the top of the globe is activated, allowing a click on the globe to be saved. If text is used, there is a suitable text box. For me, it would mean a lot if there is a clear indication whether the text coordinates have (not) been accepted. Clicking the Apply or the Cancel button (or a click on the globe) closes the panel. I assume that import from the Companion Ap would follow the usual dialogue, not involved here. The above would be mostly the existing code base with minimal new programming.

I don't think that's what we want.
What's odd is that right now you have to go to the Menu to edit a dive site instead of being able to trigger this from the Notes tab. But we really want to use that UI.
Also, in the dive site edit UI you can't change which dive site you are editing... I know that Davide had put together a wonderful UI mockup for all of this... I really hope that he and Tomaz can finish this part - or get it to a sane state, soon.

Cool. I don't have a time line, yet, because I'm still trying to wrap my mind around all the things that still have to be done.

Yes, there are a TON of new features that Miika has added regarding data input. We need to make sure they are all documented and tested.
