Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

User feedback from cybertown June 2025: "On the load tab, an option to search for data using coordinates could be useful (sounds like this may be possible in the future using a bounding box - cool!)"

Suggest to add options to input lat long extent manually, or to draw a box on a map and fill in the lat/long extent corresponding to the area selected on the map.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively, instead of a map, we could simply add input boxes so users can enter the lat/long extent manually.
