Auto-zoom behavior #181

Open gtoonstra opened 10 years ago

gtoonstra commented 10 years ago

There were some issues on diydrones about default zoom behavior. At the moment I think it autozooms to a region when there are three waypoints, but keeps doing that for several interactions. In my case I tried to plan a very small area but in certain interactions the app decided that a different zoom level would be better for me. In this area I just wanted some more accuracy and I had to zoom back in to get the view I wanted. So I had to fight this, move the map back, zoom back in and place another point. This is cumbersome. I suggest that the app shouldn't rezoom areas even if some points are temporarily out-of-view, certainly not during planning. Instead a button could be useful to get an overview, after which it's easier to slide the map around and verify placements. ( a button with a square and arrows indicating diagonally outwards could be an icon for this ).

what version of mp are you using? MP has not autozoomed when suing the direct flightplanner in some time. only on reading the the MAV.

I just double-checked this now and you're right it doesn't happen that many times. It happens when there's a new Home position and when the mission is cleared.
