[closed] what3words suggestion

[alexlong]

Hi and thanks for AlpineQuest.

Since version 2.0.4 R3456 there is an option to find WHAT3WORDS, thank you for this new feature.
Is it possible to add what3words into Settings —> Location format and Alt. location format so to see it on the main screen? For example I could see both DD.DDDD (main location format) and what3words (alt. location format). Should look very handy if it is possible. But I there can be a problem what language use for what3words location. Probably the default system language.
Thanks.
Best regards.

Hi Alex,
I talked about this with someone from What3words and unfortunately it cannot be done simply this way.
AlpineQuest needs to either contact What3words servers when moving over each locations, or include all the what3words "system" which is 15MB (whereas the application is around 6MB now)...
But you can get the 3 words using the What3words app.
Best regards

I have a suggestion. You can do so. If someone need this base, let them download it themselves and uses (increases the size of the application) and who do not not downloads.
Thank you.

We discuss the same thing on 4pda.ru forum.

Hi again, maybe one day as a plugin.

[alexlong]

Thanks.
By the way is it real to add some new features as plugins?
If "yes" it would be great.
Probably to add something from user_settings.conf or some other things?

Yes it would be great to have a kind of plugins in the app.
But it must be something to install apart from the application, so users that don't need it won't have to download everything...
