Suggestion: Large train icons #5

Open dtandersen opened 2 years ago

Would it be possible to have an option for the selected train be large? It's hard to see my train when I'm zoomed out.

Ideally icons shouldn't change size when zoom level changes, or their size is based on a ratio on the zoom level. This would be nice for active trains, locomotives and switches.

There's a fundamental misunderstanding here: the trains rendered on the map aren't icons, they're actual size. I could add separate icons, as "flags" or otherwise distinct from the rendered train footprints, that only appear when zoomed further out.

That sounds like a good idea, it's certainly worth a try, especially if it wouldn't be difficult to implement.

Another idea i have is showing the speed signs, but i can open another feature suggestion if you would prefer it :)
