In the report view, add intro page with a map of all observations and a summary of the observations in report

What's your role? Where and how do you currently use the application?

Have you thought about what it might look like?

Implementation Suggestions
From @gmaclennan

For the overview map that shows all observations in the report (if we choose to have one, this could be "reports v2"), I see two options:

• Encode the overlay / markers into the URL, like the Mapbox Static Maps API does. This means that our static maps server does not need to know anything about observations or the current filter, everything it needs to know is encoded in the URL. I feel good about being able to write this in half a day if you don't have the bandwidth for it.
• Pass the current filter encoded in the URL, and then the map server requests the observations and filters them on the server side, then adds them as a layer to the map. The request for a list of all observations from osm-db can be slow though, so I think this might be a perf issue, and more complicated than (i) to implement.
