Re: Legend (again)

2018-04-14 Thread Hervé Tatche
Glad to see that others share the idea ! For me the biggest drawback of a
legend-based items description is that OsmAnd has such a big range of
detail for different roads, terrains, buildings, POIs, and so on that it is
virtually impossible to memorize the meaning of their corresponding
color/thickness/sign/number.

Hence why having access to this information by simply touching the map
would be very helpful, i.e I am cycle touring in Tasmania and hope to take
only mild dirt roads to get to my next town. OsmAnd can help me with that
but because there are so many different "lines" on the map I first have to
go back-and-forth between the map and the legend to make sure I know which
are the mild dirt roads. Sometimes it's easy to mix up and I could end up
on, say, a rough 4x4 track.

Thanks

I really like the idea of being able to select an object on the map to get 
more information about it - just as you can do know with a POI.
I would like to be able to touch a road to access the tags it has been 
tagged with - for example variable speed limits (that are not currently 
supported), road surfaces that have been tagged etc.

It think this idea is a rich vein of information but programmatically 
difficult?

Legend (again)

2018-04-13 Thread Herve
First and foremost, thanks for such an amazing app, I used it for a few months 
in Australia and made my trip so much better !

Now, I know this poped up already a few times in this forum, but I'll add my 2 
cents too. Would it be very hard to include info on symbols/road surface/road 
quality... just by touching the map? It is incredibly cumbersome to be forced 
to leave the app in order to open the legend on Chrome (unaccessible when 
offline!) and dig through the very, very extensive legend every time !

Thanks again for your work nonetheless, really appreciate having such tool 
available :)
