[closed] On-map fully customizable data fields

Post by WyeWalk »

Hi,
It's great to see you are still actively working on AlpineQuest as it is such a brilliant app. It made my day when the new release popped up. :D I particularly like the start-up time improvement.
I would love to see improved on-map data fields. Most handheld GPS receivers let you select custom data fields to display on the map screen. I know a few are already available, but extending these and allowing them to be visually more customizable (different fonts, sizes, colours etc) and more variables to select from would be great (distance, time, avg speed, ETA, name of target, current speed etc etc etc). My ageing eyesight struggles with the current fields and the Dashboard screen, although a great addition, doesn't totally work for me. Being on the map screen would also make things much more accessible too.
The ultimate solution would be to have multiple profiles where different settings (including data fields) are associated with each profile. So Hiking profile may be configured for Distance, ETA, Running profile could be calories, speed etc, Geocaching profile might be distance to target and Compass turned on etc. You would of course customize your own profiles.

Keep up the great work. 8-)

Hi and thanks for your feedback and support!
I plan to make a small "dashboard" version displayed at the bottom of the main map (just like the GPS Location panel), summing up info given in the main dashboard. I'll try to allow the user to choose what data to display in it just like you suggest... And why not taking advantage of the workspaces to make various configurations...
Best regards
