Tiny font for remaining distance, time, and ETA is a hazard for drivers! #673

Open sokolgeo opened 3 months ago

sokolgeo commented 3 months ago

While driving, the tiny font used to display the remaining distance, time, and ETA at the bottom of the screen is difficult to read. Trying to read the tiny font makes me lose focus on the road situation!

Could we please make the remaining distance, time, and ETA font size at least twice as large?

I am specifically referring to making font bigger for the sting "24 km 22 min ETA 11:46" in the bottom of this screenshot: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/292191/163813895-ffd20f56-d32e-4625-a7a8-61a9367d86d5.png

Good question. It cannot be very large as it wouldn't fit otherwise. Which OS do you use? Is it Kirigami version?

sokolgeo commented 3 months ago

I am running PostmarketOS on PinePhone.

PostmarketOS being derivative of Alpine Linux, the PureMaps package I run was installed from Alpine package repository

Does it clarify?

It should be the same font as is used on the phone by default. Try to increase that in the system and it will increase accordingly.

I guess there would be a limited number of people willing to change their system font to large before each drive and then change it back to normal afterwards? Any chance of this becoming a preference setting within the application?

In principle, it can become preference. Similar to what we have already in terms of map font sizes that depend on the mode as well (map viewing, navigation by car, ...). Just it needs an idea how to integrate it well and making it. Not sure when I can look into it.
