Toogle display of feature names on map on/off #323

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Which products are relevant to this feature request?

Google Earth

What should this feature enhancement do?

Recommend having an option to toggle the display of feature names as 
labels on the map. If a given KML resource has many features then the 
labels obscure much of the map details and placemarks themselves. A toggle 
option would allow user to define when the labels should be shown without 
having the KML designer to hard code one or the other options.

This will be similar to the option to toggle the grid lines but this would 
affect whether the labels are rendered or not.

Are there any currently known workarounds that produce the same, or
similar, result?

Work-around is either not include a name for a given feature then you have 
untitled labels in the menu list view which makes finding placemarks in 
the list nearly impossible. A better approach is using a styleMap with 
labelStyle scale = 0 by default and scale = 1 in highlight mode but this 
prevents showing all the labels which is sometimes desired.

Hi,
wondering why this issue hasn't been assigned to a developer yet.
Has there been any further progress, or has it been put on hold?
thx

This issue is nearly 2.5 years old and still has a status of "New".

I REALLY need this feature.  Please give it some consideration sooner rather 
than later.

An addition could be: Toggle between On/Off/Automatic
Automatic is depending on the fontsize relative to nearby markers and zoomlevel.

This would help me so much. . Or at least having the option to select multiple 
pins, then I could just turn the style to 0, but not individually for my 69 
manually inputed addresses!

I just came to this problem as well and I am not nicely surprised this is not 
as common feature. Hmm....

Couldn't believe that this feature was ever requested back in 2009, and nothing 
has been done on it during the past 4 years!  This is obviously a very 
important and useful function when you're dealing with many landmarks.  So, 
please, Google, add it to the new release of Earth.  Thanks.

Looks like this one has been given an unofficial "Will Not Fix", so perhaps 
someone could inbox me about collaborating to code up an Add-On for GE and 
Chrome which controls the labeling a little better.
