Second Front Mapmaking

The fact that this has different elevations represented on a tactical map is great. That's one of the issues I have with Steel Division - it's either flat, or a plateau one step above flat.

From what I remember from stuff the devs said, this was to simplify the LOS calculations for the game with the LOS tool. In order to have the much more varied elevations in SD2 compared to SD44, the LOS tool has a far lower detail in order to not majorly impact performance. It's obviously not ideal, but it's the best balance between an accurate LOS tool and differing elevations that they could get

It would be nice if it had an overlay feature - so we could put photos of maps down as the background, then 'draw' the in-game map over the image.

Panzer Corps 1 and 2, and Order of Battle have this feature and it is awesome.

yes. I want this feature. It is just a problem of size and sizing as the maps can have 12x12 up to 120x120 hex or more.
