[done] About 1.4.13 copyright display on map

[CRider]

Hi,
AQ gets better and better but I really dislike this copyright display on map which appears with AQ1.4.13.
I like to have a clean display with very few info and this "info" is not useful.
I can understand that for an export, such copyright notice may be required.
But during the normal usage, this is very annoying.

Is it a new requirement from Open Street Map and Google ?
Is it possible to turn off this display ?

On my car GPS, I'm not annoyed by a NAVTEC copyright notice on the map.
So I'm ready to pay for an extra cost to get rid of this "feature".
Otherwise, is there a way to downgrade to the previous version like an apk for 1.4.12 download ?

Thanks.

Hi,
Yes I understand your point of view, but the application is getting more and more used, so more and more visible and so I receive more and more complains about map usages and copyrights.
OSM asks to display this notice (http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright) "For a browsable electronic map, the credit should appear in the corner of the map". Google asked to add back the Google logo and disable few feature, etc.
That's why it has been added and after all I think that it's a good thing. The application never claimed to create or own any maps, and we should be grateful toward all available map services.
But, if you are really annoyed by this notice, I may add an user setting to disable it in the next version. But honestly after few days of use you won't notice it any more.

I agree. That's the reason why I'm ready to pay an extra cost.

Yes, please. Or alternatively, the user could choose where to put the copyright notice.
I don't use the +/- zoom buttons. So the Open Street Map notice could be placed in the bottom right instead of the top right side.
Thanks

I've added the setting, it will be available in the next update.

I've added the setting, it will be available in the next update.

Would you please provide details for this, I'm running OS maps on AQ v1.4.14

Also, could we please have a sticky thread for the various configuration settings that are not available through the GUI.

Hi again!
Yes sorry I haven't given any details of that since the release.

This new user setting is:

Code: Select all

map.canvas.display_copyrights=0

Here is the description of all user settings: http://www.alpinequest.net/en/help/1.4/user-settings
