Size of confirmation buttons

[Tore Teigene]

Imagine driving MC using gloves. The waypoints does not disappear when you have passed them and Navigator tries to get you back on track. You want to delete/forget waypoint and just continue. You press the waypoint icon top right corner and a tiny confirmation box pops up and ask you Do you really want to .... "yes". Today it took me apx 25 attempts to remove the waypoint when driving. WHY??? is it so small. You could fill the screen with the box. It is just Yes or No and then it goes away. What is it with UX designers ??? Do they never try their own design ?

@Tore-Teigene hi,

Yes, we test the designs.
Not only ourselves but together with the entire beta group.

Why the confirmation? Imagine driving MC using gloves and a drop of rain triggers the button and waypoints just get skipped continuously.

So we as beta community decided the following:

• long pressing the skip waypoint button will not show the confirmation
• if the confirmation box is only a confirm action, tapping anywhere on the prompt will confirm your action

Hope that helps

@Tore-Teigene In addition to @Corjan-Meijerink's comments: why not skip automatically? That way, you wouldn't have to click anywhere.

@Tore-Teigene, I could place a funny comment about size but I restrained myself
Instead some seriousness: The shape, size and function of that confirmation box has been altered numerous times, based on the beta-group input. So there is some consensus about it working fine. UX designers all have their own ideas, just like car designers. It has 4 wheels, and a steering wheel, yet they all look different. If you know how it works, one attempt is enough. Just tap anywhere in the box to confirm (even on the message itself!), or outside the box to abort. That area is about 8 times bigger (on my phone) then the one you tapped to enter the functionality in the first place.
