Cache Setting on Map

DOC-WHO 7 years ago updated by GCDroid Support 7 years ago 1

Image 84

Could we have a  Lock option on "Centre on Cache" with an auto zoom to show my location plus the B-line.

Also  could  we  have  "My  Location"  added  to  this  menu,  which  would  have  3  possibilities..  GPS,  Car / Trail Start /  Waypoint ,  My  Home  Location  (in-exact).

I'm often reluctant to run my battery down with GPS usage, thus gcdroid always thinks im at a previous location.

Storing  my  Car  location  is  very  handy,  or  the  Trail  Start.

  And  finally,  my  cache  planning  is  often  done  at  home,  so  centering  on  home  would  be  very  handy  too.

tap the button bottom right, just like google maps it will keep map centered on you. tap again and it will auto-rotate.

move the map and it turns off.

I am not willing to add extra features for users that disable GPS. This is an essential part of this game and the honest saving is barely measurable. Looking at the map in GCDroid with or without battery will not give you anythings noticeable.

use for home is too rare and random that it justifies wasting screen space permanently...

and HQ allows users to opt-in and out of sharing of this data. extra work for these guys...

Will close this topic as all that will be implemented is already done.

Auto-zoom was already discussed before and rejected.

Sort by Direction

DOC-WHO 7 years ago updated by GCDroid Support 7 years ago 2

When  viewing  a  database,  the  direction  of  caches  can  be  in  any  direction.
it would be handy to sort by NSEW as Distance alone can be opposing directions.
Answer
GCDroid Support 7 years ago

GCDroid allows sorting by 1 (one) thing at a time. If I would add sorting like that it still would not be useful...

Let's say I would sort by degrees and 0 is at top, what if you are traveling at 359 degrees? That would be end of the list.

180 would be middle. You would never find things.

There is not an easy USEFUL way of doing this... so no.

Not  sure  if  I requested this before.
Would love to see a caches waypoints on the map when cache selected.

they will show as soon as you select 'goto' which draws the line and will show the waypoints.

Search by city

Sajoma 7 years ago updated by GCDroid Support 7 years ago 6

In c:geo I often used the search by the city's name. The search uses the middle of the city to start showing the caches in this area.

I would really appreciate this little piece in the app.

B-line improvement

DOC-WHO 7 years ago updated by GCDroid Support 7 years ago 3

After using the Goto function and live map whilest driving roads its become apparent that the "B-Line" to the cache is very hard to see. Any chance it can be changed to Red for example, or thickened?

"Merge Database into" still does not work.

Franz 7 years ago updated by GCDroid Support 7 years ago 2

If i tap at the line, GCDroid *seems* to work, but there is no visible result.
It's the same behaviour as in our mail-chat a couple weeks ago.

Sort Database

DOC-WHO 7 years ago updated 7 years ago 3

Manage  Databases  needs  a  Sorting  option
Answer
GCDroid Support 7 years ago

I don't see why I would sort that list. too much work, too little benefit.

Why would you sort it by biggest list first?

Date format has changed to USA, MM/DD/YYY

DOC-WHO 7 years ago updated by GCDroid Support 7 years ago 6

During  v2  setup,  I chose english rather than auto, could this of done it?
Answer
GCDroid Support 7 years ago

Setting English will default everything to English/USA. The way Android works is that you basically pick a 'country'. Using Default does not set a language and device date style is used.
GCDroid still decides if a long or short format should be used but the look and feel is defined by the device. English is the default language of the app and will be used if no other supported language can be found.

Anyways, it works as expected, BUT we could open a new request to have option to select date and time format (eg. DD.MM.YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY and AM/PM vs 24h).

If you feel this would help please open a new feature request. Closing this bug report since it works as intended under the given limitations.
