Suggested Improvements

[ken888]

Thank you for your excellent app. Please consider the following suggestions to improve it.



1. Allow the map to be zoomed in until the scale reads 10 metres. Currently, zoom-in is limited to x8. This is so that, when following a pre-loaded gps track, the distance from the track can be easily seen. The map features are blurred at this zoom level, but that doesnt matter when following a gps track.



2. Increase text size for waypoints so it is the same as the text size of the map scale. Ideally, text sizes of all text on maps should be selectable: small, medium, large.



3. Make the line terminator in all files CR LF, not just LF. Notepad for Windows doesnt show a newline for LFs. This includes all GPX KML XML files.



4. In Map Settings, when Auto Load Maps is set to Never, the map still switches to a different map if there is one with a different map zoom level for the same location. It should never switch maps if the setting is never switch maps. A map can be disabled, but it is better if never means never.



5. Increase size of text in Track - Show graphics. Text size on side/bottom scale. Also red on black is hard to read. White on black is better.



6. Put a link to Manage Tracks under the Track symbol in the red bar. Its currently under Routes.



7. When following a preloaded track, and the map is zoomed in, show the individual track points in the track, as circles. This shows points where the track is likely to be more accurate. It shows if there are long distances between track points. The arrows in the track are a good idea.



8. Change the way track recording resolution is set. Set track recording resolution to Low, Medium, or High. Use an algorithm to choose when to record a new trackpoint. There is no need to record a new trackpoint if travelling in a straight line. Currently, it is set to a number of metres or number of seconds. Eg if travelling in car, you dont want to record a new trackpoint every 10 metres.
