Allow enabling of Hold Map Center even when GPS is disabled

Andrew Heard shared this idea 7 years ago
Completed

At present the Hold Map Center button (bottom left corner) will be enabled (blue)

  1. if restored from previous enabled state at exit (even if GPS position is disabled)
  2. or if GPS is enabled (but position invalid/ unknown) the user can enable the Hold Map Center button then subsequently disable the GPS again
  3. or if GPS position is enabled and the button is tapped

If the GPS position is disabled the user can disable the Hold Map Center function but not subsequently re-enable it. This is inconsistent with behavior of list items #1 and #2 and inconvenient. For example if a Preset is selected that has Hold Map Center enabled but the GPS is disabled then the function is disabled. I would suggest the Hold Map Center button can be enabled (blue) anytime, instead of silently ignored, and subsequently when the GPS position is known the map position is simply moved accordingly.

Improvements implemented. I was forced to improve it not because of this idea, but mainly because of problem caused by new system of "Presets" and this older inconsistent system.


I'm anyway little worried, it will need to test it and be careful on smaller possible side effects. So next Beta version ...

My main reason (personally) was due to "Presets" too. I activate my "cycling" preset but if GPS disabled (often the case to save power) then Hold Map Center will never be enabled.

Testing so far with 3.21.1.17 working well.

Thanks Andrew, I had also only positive experience last days. So for now "implemented". If you find some issue related to this idea, write me here. And thanks you opened this topic!
