What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?
After useing hudmap for about a month now, I have put together a short list of ideas that I think would make hud map a much better add on and mabey even become a complete boss mods replacement...
1. Automatic range finding for certian bosses. I think that having a automatic range finder for the bosses that have abilities that force raiders to stay away from other players would be the number one thing I would suggest for this add on. Somtimes with my guild I dont not have time to set up a manual range ring before they pull a boss. Having this done automatically would be a great help.
2. Only display your target arrow. I think this is a great feature, I mostly use it in the blood queen encounter to quickly guide me to my bite target but when it starts to show EVERYONES target it gets a little to much clutter on the screen.
3. A way to target players useing their hudmap icon. This is something very minor and is not something I absolutely think this add on should have. but sometimes (especially targeting tanks) I find that I often see their hud map icon before I find their unit on my raid frames. Times when I feel this would be helpfull is when we have more than one tank of the same class and I need to target the one on the boss but they look almost identical in the way their avatar looks so I do not know which raid frame to target, being able to target someone without having to search raid frames, or trying to squeeze your mouse around huge bosses would be a great help for me.
4. Again this is just something very small but I think a nice feature to the add on would be for very big aoes to show an arrow from the player icon to show the fastest way to get out. I know that the information you get from the encounters may not be enough for you to implement it. but would be something very helpful for getting just a few more seconds of not taking damage.
5. I know the add on is still being developed but just in case what it has it all I just want to say, add more boss abilities. I was in a guild that forced us to use AVR for the short time it was useable and it had a graphic for pretty much every boss ability you could put cordinates to. and from what ive seen in your add on so far, you can pretty much take any cordinate and translate it into the hud overlay of the battlefield. I would recomend going to wowwiki/wowhead or any other website with boss abilities and just try to think, "how can I show players that ability on hud map" obviously some abilities just dont need a graphic or cant have one because of the nature of the spell, as I said, you may still be planning all of them so I apologize if you are already doing this just thought I would mention it

Please provide any additional information below.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my ideas, I apologize for any grammer errors or mispellings. I just want you to know I love your add on and recomend it imidiately to anyone who comes to me asking for help with boss fights. And I hope to see it expand to something as common as dbm and recount.
