Route edition - map mode

PostPosted: 20 Jun 2014, 08:36

Hello,

During editing the route in the map mode, I encountered a problem that I could not cope with.

Long-tapping on the map dispalys the dialog box.
I can create new waypoint (WPT), name it, and add to the route.
If I long-tap on the existing point (WPT or VFR nav. point, etc.) I can add this point directly to the route without create a new WPT.
And here is my problem.
When I long-tap the existing point, usually the dialog box displays info "No near object" and proposes to create the new WPT.
I have written "usually" because from-time-to-time the dialog box allows me to choose the existing point and add it to the route.

I believe problem concerns the precision I am able to indicate the desirable point on the screen (on the map) with my finger.
I intent to long-tap the existing object but because of the lack of precision I long-tap the point somwhere near.

Is it defined or possible to set the vincinity of the object when I long-tap inside this vincinity it is assumed I pointed out this object?
I mean something like "Max nearest distance" (for searching the navigational database) or "Range for searching METARs" in the "Ranges and distances" in "Preferences" option of "Application Settings".

Or maybe I do something wrong...

Best regards

Krzysztof

Hi,
I am planning to improve route creating in the near future :-)

When you short touch nav item is it OK? Do you see pop-up dialog with information about this item?

Hi,

Thank you, you took care of my problem.

Yes, short-touching nav item works better. I can see the pop-up dialog box concerning the nav item.
Sometimes I got a dialog box containing information about the traffic zone (TSA, ATZ, etc) around the tapped point.

Deleting the route turn point (route WPT) in the route-edit-map-mode works perfectly.

I use the 7'' Samsung Gataxy Tab 2 tablet.
