Double clicking dots zooms, but does not show restriction details #21

(minor issue)

Attempting to double click a specific colored dot on the map to open additional restriction information only magnified the map in further. Participants were expecting to double click and open a restriction’s dialog box. Instead, the map kept magnifying until the participants were frustrated or single clicked the dot.

This proved problematic when another restriction dialog box was already open. Some participants would try to double click a different restriction dot while a dialog box was open. Participants either did not notice the double click only magnified the map and the old dialog box was still present or they continued to try to click the colored dot until they failed or succeeded to open correct information.

The double-click-to-zoom behavior is standard for many online maps (e.g., Google Maps, Bing Maps). If we modify this behavior in our application it would probably confuse a different set of users who are familiar with using web maps. :confused:
