BattleMaster is essentially a TEXT based game. 
This feature would not really add anything to the game that is not already possible.
A little less convenient and maybe not as "pretty", but possible with a few clicks of existing options.
Personally, I would rather see Dev time spent on things that would add to or improve the game.

For me it seems like this request is trying to move the game more towards a graphic oriented game where we can click on pictures for actions instead of words. 

I am also a firm user of the political map.  I find the dynamic map very aggravating as every time I try to move the map around to see a different area, a little box pops up (a nice box if that is what you want) and hides part of the screen.  I close the box and as soon as I touch the screen again, the box pops up again to block my view. 

As for scouting from the political map, I do not always want a scout report when I am looking at a region on this map.  I would hate to loose hours receiving scout reports that I did not specifically want.

I'm finding myself strongly agreeing with this.

It's a 'nice to have', but certainly not something worth current DEV time to be honest.

I don't think it would be too difficult to add a link to the box that pops up on the Dynamic Map when you click a region that lets you scout that region.

Adding more icons to the Political Map would, I think, be a mistake.

Unfortunately I'm also not a very big fan of Dynamic map and even if such button would be added, I would continue to not use that map  :)
