Placemark names orientation

[alexlong]

Hi, Franços.

Is it possible to make the waypoints' names be always oriented as if they were oriented to "North", instead of rotated together with the map?

Hi Alex,

I'm not expert but I think that it could give too much perturbations for users because items of maps (raster maps) and waypoints should be oriented differently ...
It should be different for vector maps but not supported by AQ.

Hi, I'm not really an expert either. But we are talking about waypoints, which are not part of a raster map

[boowoo]

Yes but waypoints are displayed over a raster map and all the names of this map should be always oriented following the rotated map. Weird if in the same time the waypoints names stay oriented to North up. Weird ...
And what about the icons of the waypoints?

Hi,
What about when holding phone exactly horizontal or front slightly tilted up placemark text is readable, never upside down, for user??
Friendly greetings

Right now the placemark names are written over the map following the same orientation than the map names (up is North).
If I have time in the future I will make tests to write the sames after the map rotation, but right now I already have too much things waiting...

I may have been misunderstood. When the map rotates, all the names and objects on the map rotate with it, as it is a raster map. Placemarks are not part of the raster map, they are standalone elements above the map but the placemark names are also rotated.
This gives me some inconvenience in reading the information ( placemarks ) on the map. I am sometimes forced to do this:

When the placemark names are always oriented north, they become readable 100% of the time.

I have added this request in the wanted features.
