Fast switching between offline maps.

aliandwa shared this idea 6 years ago
Declined

Hello! I would like to have function for fast one touch switching between maps.

It can be separate buttons with the maps appropriated to them.

It is necessary to compare an old and new different maps "face to face".

Now two taps are necessary for this function, and in case of a choice of next map the previous map disappears completely. It is not evident for comparing.

I think such function will be very useful for treasures hunters, diggers etc.

Thank you!

Hello, @aliandwa

I totally understand what you need!

Switching overlayed maps by opacity (transparency) slider on the main Map screen would be the fastest and, probably, the most convenient way to compare them.


This video https://youtu.be/Tum5kDoCOuw illustrates wat I mean, see from 0:13.


Not long ago I proposed this exact idea http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/opacity-slider-for-the-overlays-layer-directly-on-the-main-map-screen so you can vote, if this is what you need.


Cheers.

Wow! I think idea with slider is great! This is exactly what we are expect! It's even better than I thought. Cool feature!

Good day guys,

tools to quick switch to certain map type for this use-case are really not planned.

Anyway I may imagine some kind of mentioned idea with opacity slider directly visible on the map or at least improved semi-transparency of overlay window when you change opacity. So suggest to vote into mentioned idea. Thanks for understnading.
