Show more detail when downloading height files for large map

Andrew Heard shared this idea 8 years ago

When downloading a map the percentage complete and # MB are updated quite regularly

However when downloading the corresponding height files, only the percentage is displayed, and may only be updated once a minute (for corresponding large map), so you wonder whether anything is happening:

To be consistent could the same download statistics be displayed as for map, that is add # MB? This would allow for more regular update of the progress. Alternatively add one decimal point to percentage XX.X%. It's only an issue with combination of large maps and slow internet speed so won't be noticed by most users.

Good day Andreas,

I perfectly understand your point. Unfortunately, compare to other items downloaded in Locus Store, size of HGT files is not exactly know. Locus downloads zipped files and do not know exact size till downloading starts. Because downloading is now moved into "notification center", I believe that waiting on dialog is no more problem and till there is no visible error, Locus for sure downloads and downloads ...


Idea declined. Thanks for understanding.
