[Backsearch] Draw temporary arrow between primary and 'next' property in Ownership Search panel #280

Closed ColmDC closed 7 months ago

ColmDC commented 7 months ago

Description

While the user hovers over a Go to Property arrow, display an arrow from either the centre of the map towards that property, or from the current centre of the map towards that property. Explore different types of designs for the arrow to give sense distance, that works consistently whether the property is off or on the map, and also if it is very close.

Motivation

Clicking on a Go to Property arrow, can pan and zoom the map great distances in unexpected directions, it would be to have visual cue as to where that property was relative to the last selected property, or perhaps the current centre of the map.

Acceptance Criteria

Users have a reliable visual clue as to where the property is before deciding to zoom and pan to it.

In touch screens, we may need different mechanism to trigger visualisation of the arrow.

I dont think this is a well specced issue. This needs design and the issue proposes a solution that feels inappropriate to the problem.

This needs design

That's why I put it in the Design backlog.

and the issue proposes a solution that feels inappropriate to the problem.

I guess that would have been identified by the desinger.

Where would be the appropriate place to respond to your points or discuss the design idea?
