some changes to default and "relocate to GPS" request

[burekbrigada]

Although I prefer one request - one topic rule, proposed changes are mostly about defaults, so just one code change.

Please add Hermannskogel datum for Ozi maps. We discussed this before. I'm perfectly fine with present solution (more than that, thanks a lot!), but I'm trying to convince more people to use AQ as a program that "just works". It's irrelevant how to properly call that datum, neither Hermannskogel or MGI 1901 is used in practice (we just call it Gaus Kruger), but OziExplorer call it only Hermannskogel. At the present user must either change map file to write MGI 1901 instead of Hermannskogel or put cs file in \Android\data\psyberia.alpinequest.full\files\datastore\cs\. Although both ways work, it is far from user friendly. "Just" put somewhere in code Hermannskogel=MGI 1901 or [quick and dirty solution ] put hermannskogel.cs in distribution file.

Change default to write images extensions to GPX. I know about user_conf item for this and already use that, but for me it's more natural to be default, since most newer programs are aware about images path in GPX.

And now real wish, hopefully very simple to add:

Option to move waypoint location to the current GPS position, just like in Garmin handhelds or in Locus. At the present way to accomplish this is unintuitive and very prone to errors: you can move waypoints coordinates to screen center, and this works, but very often users move screen center away from current gps position. I personally failed to write correct position of important waypoint just because of this.

Any feedback, especially for real wish (reposition here)?
Since my Garmin is currently does its job, ie it is with my friend in the mountains, can't attach screenshot, but here is same thing from main AQ competitor.

I see this in the latest beta for creating new waypoints. Thanks!
Please, add the same thing for editing coordinates of existing waypoints, whole point of this wish is changing existing waypoints to real position.
And one suggestion, will be nice touch:
If new position is more than some distance far from old position, display messagebox, to prevent accidental changes. I don't know what is the best value, 200 meters works for me, but maybe 1 km is a better universal value.

Hi and sorry for the delay.

Yes I've released a new beta and I've included the Hermannskogel datum for OZI maps (so you don't need the .cs file anymore) and the ability to choose the GPS location when creating waypoints.
I'll add it to the edit dialog too, I forget. I'll also have a look at your other suggestion.

Best regards

Thanks! Works fine.
One wish for improvement following discussion on Russian forum:
Make option , for me user_conf will be fine, to set GPS position as default, instead of screen center. Or, but that will probably need more of your time, remember last choice.

Having a user defineable map rotational axis point, independent from the map centre point, is something that I requested several years ago (literally). Still waiting...

@burekbrigada: I've made some changes for the next update:
- The app will remember last choice you made (ie if you choose the GPS location), but only when you create a waypoint from the placemark menu or from a custom button. When you create a waypoint by clicking on the map center, then this waypoint is created at the map center location.
- I've added an user setting to force the GPS location by default (even when creating waypoints from the map center): "landmarks.creator.waypoints.force_on_gps=1"

@Yemble: Yes, this feature has been on the planned list for ages, but I've not found anytime to work on it yet...
