Longtap 2-point-distance: Info too short to see

Tapio shared this problem 5 years ago
Solved

Hi guys,

so I measured the distance between 2 points by longtap. It was finicky and the annoying part was, I didn't find the measured distance quickly enough. It disappeared after like 3 seconds. If the red text appears in a complex part of map, i.e., a city, it is really hard to spot. So IMO it needs to display longer or have some kind of background...

Thx

Hello Tapio

current time is defined on 1.5 second, which was a global agreement that fit most of the users. I also believe this time is long enough to read a text. So the problem I see here is more readability then timeout.

What I quickly did is reducing the transparency of text by 20% and increasing width of background white border by 50%. We will see if this will be better. If not, please send me a screenshot from next version where will be visible problematic place (map & text above). Thanks.

Nothing. As I wrote, this was just some kind of agreement.
