Switching offlline vector map automatically

Oli shared this idea 11 years ago
Completed

Switching offline vector map automatically to the right map, when map is moved (if different regions are saved offline).


I think this would be useful.

You mean switching to the next map, if you leave the region of the currently used map?


This is a functionality which is (currently) not supported by the underlying libraries (mapsforge). Maybe you can place a development request there (http://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/).

Hi Oli,


Thank you for your idea!


Actually, we’ve been thinking about some changes in map manager – sorting or switching map based on your position. So your idea comes in right time. We are going to discuss it in next weeks.


Thanks

I agree it would be handy to automatically switch.


I just wanted to mention the next best thing - we have a "quick map switch" button which makes it very easy to switch. The appropriate vector map appears conveniently as the first entry in the category "Nearest Maps - Vector" .


Just mentioning in case you were not familiar with this.


I`ll bet you are already familiar with this. In that case I apologize.

just closing already implemented idea. Automatic switching is already there and believe that works fine
