Hi all,
I tested a lot MapThis! this weekend, in particular
in combination with the "directions" feature of GMDL.
Very useful if you do not know the streets..
I loaded them as POI.
A feature of the "directions" from GMDL
is the incredible number of "Midpoints" it sets.
For example, for a 30 km path it can set even hundred of midpoints. Up to here, everything fine.
The problem is that the Midpoint bar on the bottom of the screen hides *very* useful information such as:
- Distance To Mark
- Time
- signal strength
- battery
In practise, I noticed I had these info available on the screen only few times over all the trip.
Moreover the "Midpoint" bar is oversized because
it tells you something like "0.5 km Midpoint" but
it uses all the bottom horizontal size of the screen.
Do you think it is difficult to resize it? I.e. show
the "midpoint" bar without hiding the interesting info? Eventually can someone with mapthis code experience point me to the code section where this is handled?
Cheers,
Alberto
