RFE: add ‘follow me’ behaviour #19

Closed Lee-Carre closed 2 years ago

Lee-Carre commented 3 years ago

OSMfocus Reborn version

v1.1.1-fdroid

Feature Request

Having used the old OSMfocus, a feature I quite liked while out surveying was that by default it would start at my current GNSS position and then follow my position as I moved. This made checking the tags of various elements as convenient as walking near to them.

With OSMfocus Reborn, I have to frequently press the ‘pan to my GNSS location’ button.

Of course, manually scrolling the map should disable the ‘follow me’, with an easy way to re-enable it.

If the current behaviour is by design, then please make other possibilities user-configurable.

Thanks for the RFE!

This is implemented in 00dd435 and will be released with v1.2.0. Let me know if it works like intended when you get the update.

Lee-Carre commented 2 years ago

The implementation isn't quite right. When follow-me is enabled, tagging of elements isn't shown (too far zoomed out). When zooming in enough to see tagging, the map doesn't follow my position any more.

Oops, I kinda forgot to follow up on this. Yeah the behaviour is definitely wrong, will fix in the next release.

ubipo commented 2 years ago

Fixed in v1.4.0.

Seems much better, now 🙂.

The only disparity from the original is that follow me isn't enabled at launch. Though, I recognise that this may be by design / invention (feature,-not-a-bug), rather than an oversight.

Thanks for implementing this; makes using Reborn much quicker, when surveying. Less disruptive to my workflow. 👍
