Map icon focus

magma1447 6 years ago updated by DOC-WHO 6 months ago 4

When clicking the map icon from the cache info page, I  would like it to center the map on that icon and not on where I were last on the Map.

Reproduction example:

1) Open Live map.

2) Click a cache icon.

3) Scroll away so that it's not on the map anymore.

4) Click the Info button in the short cache details.

5) Click the map button bottom right.

6) The cache is still outside the map, which isn't expected (by me).

Under review

that is something where I always debate with myself what I want...

let's see what votes it gets but a simple quick fix is to tap on the cache icon (bottom right on map) and select center on cache.

it allows you to get there with 2 extra clicks but does not do anything automatically.

compromise?

That's what I am doing every time it happens. It's just an annoyance (for me). But I understand that it's a bit of a personal preference. There might even be cases where I would dislike my own suggestion after it (hypothetically) has been implemented. But I am not aware of that I like it as it is now. :) But I definitely can see why both could be preferred.

The short cache details icon only appears when the GOTO button is pressed.

Perhaps this should be addressed firstly.

Make the Short cache details appear on any

cache icon selection. Then the ability to centre on the selected cache is always there.

As for the GOTO button, perhaps it should always Centre the Selected cache and be persistent.

I also noticed that exiting to the Main menu clears a Goto B-line selection.

Most maps in other programs now display an Edge pointer that firstly points towards the POI and when clicked will centre on that POI, its a great feature.
