there is already a province tab and an espionage tab, there should be an army tab that shows all your armies with there locations*, and below that, show the known foreign armies, whether from shared map, spies, or they're inside your shadow of war.
* water bodies would be named, and ships would be listed as "in the pacific ocean", or something
If you want to dig through the Forum archives, you will discover that something of the kind has been requested and discussed several (many) times. I can only surmise that it presents programming challenges.
But, yes, it would be nice to have an armies management tab that locates each stack of units, with its strength and composition by unit type ---- especially on the larger maps, where it is very easy to lose a unit or two.
Absolutely. This comes up frequently, and is one of the more sane requests that gets tossed about.
Last discussion somebody came up with the name: "Order of Battle" menu.
And lets throw in the ability to redesignate unit groups, even if it is just giving them a different number. It would be nice to be able to set units or groups 1 through 9 and have keyboard shortcut so you can select the 1 on your keyboard and your "first artillery division" is selected and centered. This would make complex battles much easier than having to select the correct unit under the cloud of planes and enemy units.

maps with grid coordinates and a scale
mensuration tools
order of battle menu
but adding all of those would make CoW too much like a war game
