Display track/route name on map

[gynta]

no, i know how it works  :roll:
but in normalview i also have flashing tracks
i like to disable this completely

[Menion]

this cannot be true. Are you sure you are completely back? like you have no pseudo 3D?

[gynta]

if i have troubles with this - yes  

[joeloc]

the problem is: it's very easy to activate this 3d mode accidently when zooming with two fingers. and then your screen gets all messy on you in the blink of an eye.

i thought enabling "simple multitouch" in settings should forbid the 3d-mode completely, but apparently it doesnt.

[Menion]

joe, this works only in test version! if you really worry about it, I'll disable it also in test ... egh ...

[joeloc]

there is other stuff that worries me more, a little bit of 3d here and there cannot hurt . are you moving your whole display engine to opengl btw? and we'll get realtime 3d-maps, smooth like in googleearth? the dem data is freely available...

btw, locus is really quite impressive for a one-man job. or is there a whole team behind you?

[Menion]

not yet, but it's "secret" plan on next year. I already know about DEM data (I used them also in school) so I plan to use them ... it just matter of time. Because I don't know OpenGL, it'll take a lot of time anyway. And yes, whole team ... my girlfriend is helping me last cca two months with web . I also think that it's nice program for a guy who never studied anything about programming

Btw, Locus really becomes very slow and sluggish when a few tracks are enabled, even when they are not visible. That cant be right. Test case: Import single tracks of Gran Canaria from //http://forum.asamm.cz/download/file.php?id=478 , enable them all, then scroll around Prague. Very slow... and nothing to do with acually displaying any pixels.

Solution: a track should calculate and store its bounding box (max left/top/right/bottom coordinate) when imported into your database. Then you can quickly check if it's visible at all with just a few comparisons between screen and bounding box. This way, invisible but enabled tracks will not slow down Locus much.

Other solution: Store all your geospatial data in R-Trees. That will even work for tenthousand enabled tracks :-).

[gynta]

agree.
loading some tracks in the testversion - locus slow down.
loading the same tracks on the same map in the proversion and locus works well.

[Menion]

ah sorry, another mistake in testing version ... bounding boxes are already testing on visibility. This issue caues quite a lot of debug messages that I generate on background ... sorry forget on this test version, I'll fix all these issues tomorrow ...
