Possibility to change font size of labels #634

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
There's no way to change the font size of labels of such things as roads, 
towns, etc.

I would like to add to this, it would also be nice if the size of waypoints, 
and annotations added by the user, could also be scaled or moved around - some 
of the time they overlap and can be very hard to read unless you're right on 
top of them (in which case you can see so little detail of the road, track, 
route, or waypoints you've mapped that they become irrelevant).

Yes, I also find it frustrating that as one zooms in the text size of the (say) 
street names keeps reverting back to the tiny / unreadable size!

As a visually impaired person, when I change the size of a map the street 
lables momentarily change size, but then quickly go back to what appears to be 
a set font size.  And it's tiny.  If you must use that size as default, please 
allow a way to enlarge.

Increase font size when viewing maps, even when you zoom in road names are too 
small

I sincerely hope somebody is listening. Trying to see the names of a road are 
impossible their two small. And zooming in doesn't help. Is it worth trying a 
new version I can see people are talking about this May 29, 2014. It should not 
even be a problem in the versions of this date. 

It should've been fixed a long time ago it's been going on forever. Thanks 
Google

Slight workaround if you're trying to screencap or take images of particular 
areas. Make the window as small as it will go (i.e. resize the GE program) once 
you reach the area you want to view. Zoom in then out of the area to "reset" 
the text size. Then resize the GE program. Don't zoom in or out or move the map 
in the program again as this resets label size. Instead this program window 
scaling forces the road labels to scale with the program thereby creating a 
workaround for increasing label size. 
It'll do the job for what we want until google devotes some time into making 
this a feature.
