Side panel button to switch last used map

Guido shared this idea 8 years ago

I often need to compare two maps and then swap them frequently, It would be very useful to have a button to swap the last map displayed, this is different from the actual map selector.

Good day Guido,


you use case is really specific. We apologize, but your idea is not suitable for realization.


Thank you for understanding.

Hi


+1 for this idea

This situation is very common - for example switching between vector/satellite map, or online/offline map. It would be useful to have a button for quick switching between 2 last maps (or we can have settings - "number of maps for switching").

Current functionality for map selection works well, but it more suitable for planning trip and usually a bit redundant for real, active navigation. In addition, it's a bit hard to select map for right-handers.

Is it possible to reanimate this topic to "Collecting votes" status?

Good day Dmitry,

it is possible to enable "Quick map switch" directly on map screen in left panel ( menu >settings > maps > Panels & buttons > Left actions panel ). Yes, it may be more complicated for right-hand people, but in moment you need to switch maps so often, I believe two hands are available.

Current solution needs to be enough for now, thanks for understanding.
