Animation

[Rob Verhoeff]

@LennyO Yes, that’s correct. I tried a test route in my hometown. On a route with lots of bends, the animation is indeed a bit “restless.” But on a somewhat longer route through mountainous terrain, the animation is absolutely awesome!

Because of the tilt of the map, you now also get a 3D view. An amazing feature!

Maybe Corjan could add a setting to play the animation a little slower. At the moment, you start at 1 and can speed it up to 2 and 4. Perhaps we could also go in the other direction with -1 and -2...

The rotation should be a bit slower. For example, when travelling south, it should only rotate when there is a significant change in direction. Otherwise, the map should remain stationary.

I've added a north up mode

[Rob Verhoeff]

@Corjan-Meijerink If you select the “North up” option, you still get a message during the animation telling you that you can use the right mouse button (or your fingers on a tablet) to adjust the tilt and rotation of the screen. However, this obviously does nothing when “North up” is selected.

[Jörgen]

Looks much better.

For me the first button does not change anything.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Jörgen It probably does, turns off waypoint highlights in the animation.
Hover to see the hint

@Rob-Verhoeff Fixed

I noticed that the animation dot does not move with even speed... not sure if it is my comp or the server or what... Also we lost the choice of zoom.
On a long route x4 is not enough in my opinion... what does x4 equal to in the current version? Looks like "Fast", no?

[Corjan Meijerink]

Correct, but scaling is based on route distance.
So it's not the same per route / tracklog.

@Corjan-Meijerink Thank you, Corjan!
What about the uneven speed?

[Corjan Meijerink]

Focus on what "seems" to be nice

[LennyO]

@Corjan-Meijerink Sorry... not sure what you mean by that.... Not to pay attention to the uneven speed? I just want to understand the root cause, is it "me" or "you" or the link in between....
