ja, muss ich nur umsetzen...

Ist neu in der API und sollte machbar sein.

Klingt eher nach einem Handy problem. GCDroid, so wie alle apps, hat keinen Zugriff auf das GPS.

GCDroid fraegt lediglich bei Android nach der aktuellen GPS Location.

Und was ich da bekomme verwende ich.

Gruss

HTML description kann das....

unless HQ allows this officially I wont add anything, I had full support incl logging and was forced to remove it.

so for now, no :-(

I'd say that is sort by distance and that is implemented.

to be honest, fusion only helps if you have other location data. 

It has other downsides and not much upside and would be a big change for me.

!0 minutes sounds very odd. all phones use agps (all I know of...) and I never needed more than a few seconds to get a location. to be honest, I never noticed even a few seconds.

I used GCDroid across several 1000 miles of travel by car and crossing multiple time zones by plane.

never had that issue. sure this is not a phone issue?


if what you see was normal people could not navigate with google maps. Fusion works by fusing GPS, LTE, WIFI data and triangulation. The only thing usable for navigation is GPS. JUST by the other alone Google maps would not know if you are in the left turn lane for that u-turn you are making.

I never had an issue with accurate GPS data.


What phone are you using?

on the one side, I like the idea, on the other... no way... imagine the pure amount of work!

it would never be good enough, there are always new things! and at the end, I will be thanked by 1* reviews because I can not solve some random funky formula. Sounds like exaggeration, but it is not. This is what happens, happened and will happen.

As much as I LOVE the idea, it will be a clear NO.

Very sorry.

also, solange ich nicht meine mapping library wechsle wird es das nicht geben.

Ein wechsel ist nicht geplant. Das sind vieeeeeeeeeeeeeeele Stunden arbeit fuer wenig nutzen.

Ich weiss andere apps verwenden andere libs und das ist ok.

Daher, im moment verwendet GCDroid eine 'art mapsforge' Karte, ist aber nicht 100% kompatibel und wird es in absehbarer Zeit auch nicht sein.

Fuer meinen Nutzen tut die Karte wunderbar. Und User koennen Themes erstellen!

Gehen FERTIGE? Nein, aber das ist auch nicht mein Ziel...

OK, I like that.

Question is, how to do it....

What do you suggest as mechanism? I want to keep it simple.


I could add a setting:

grayscale map at zoom less than x  (or off)

would be global setting in preferences/maps


sounds good?
