I think it would be great if the Detailed Surface Scanner, when you were low enough for your sensors to swap to showing terrain, would give you an SRV-like wave scanner functionality. The DSS needs some extra functionality anyway, and it would let people who prefer flying their ships to buggying around stay in their cockpits more.
Additional functionality for DSS

Would be good if, once you were in orbital cruise and you hit the DSS, that all POI's became observable on the planet's surface (overlay indicators). I mean, i get that FDev want us to explore but trying to track down a POI can become a bit of a mission in itself, most particularly because of the number of possible planets out there. You still have to go to the system, you still have to get into orbital cruise to do the scan, and you still have to find the 'thing' at the centre of the POI, this is just trimming game time a little to reduce the constant flying around over a planet to find a POI - especially if you are really bad at navigating...lol.
