[closed] Open with —> Share suggestion

[alexlong]

Hi and thanks again for AlpineQuest.

Now I (we) have a choice to share location on Google maps just like

Code: Select all

[b]Open with[/b] —> [b]Share[/b] —> The location is [GPS 00.0000000 N 00.0000000 E]. http://google.com/maps/place/00.0000000,00.0000000 

Is it possible to add some other map provider, let's say Yandex or else? In case it is impossible to add it right to AQ could I have it in user_settings.config file to change map provider?

Hi Alex,
Yes it makes sense, I'll try to add an user setting for that...
Best regards

[Psyberia-Support]

I've added an user setting for this, this will be available in the next beta.
Best regards

Where I can see it here http://www.alpinequest.net/en/help/v2/s ... r-settings ?

Hi Alex,
I'll update the page once the official version is published.
The setting name is "map.coordinates.share_provider=".
The default value is:

Code: Select all

map.coordinates.share_provider=https://google.com/maps/place/{$latitude},{$longitude}

For Yandex, it should work with:

Code: Select all

map.coordinates.share_provider=https://yandex.com/maps/?ll={$longitude},{$latitude}

but I haven't tested yet...

[alexlong]

Ok, I will test it by myself right now, it sounds interesting

[alexlong]

I tested it
For example I shared as
Место [GPS 59.9480003 N 30.3417603 E] https://yandex.com/maps/?ll=30.3417603,59.9480003
If I open https://yandex.com/maps/?ll=30.3417603,59.9480003 nothing happens. I just see the Yandex map. But when I copy coordinates 59.9480003,30.3417603 and insert it in the search field of https://yandex.com/maps/ I can see the map with the marker on this place.
I would like to see a marker on the Yandex map when I open https://yandex.com/maps/?ll=30.3417603,59.9480003 the same way it happenes when I share the the place via Google.
Место [GPS 59.9480103 N 30.3417701 E] http://google.com/maps/place/59.9480103,30.3417701

Hi again,
The link above will only move the Yandex map over the shared location.
It seems you can add a marker in Yandex maps using this link.
So maybe this would work:

Code: Select all

https://yandex.com/maps/2/saint-petersburg/?ll={$longitude}%2C{$latitude}&z=10&mode=whatshere&whatshere%5Bpoint%5D={$longitude}%2C{$latitude}&whatshere%5Bzoom%5D=10

But it's much more complicated than the Google Maps link...

[alexlong]

Excellent!!!
This one works!!

Code: Select all

map.coordinates.share_provider=https://yandex.com/maps/?ll={$longitude}%2C{$latitude}&z=10&mode=whatshere&whatshere%5Bpoint%5D={$longitude}%2C{$latitude}&whatshere%5Bzoom%5D=10

But test it again (test parameters), you know better. I am not cool as you are.
I just combined your link with the previous "map.coordinates.share_provider=https://google.com/maps/place/{$latitude},{$longitude}" and inserted the code into user_config and shared. Yandex in the browser and yandex application Yandex.Maps now show markers at the place.

[alexlong]

Hi, François.
I think you'd better substitute Yandex.com for Yandex.ru beacuse we use ru domain. Or make both com and ru
For myself I changed for

Code: Select all

map.coordinates.share_provider=https://yandex.ru/maps/?ll={$longitude}%2C{$latitude}&z=10&mode=whatshere&whatshere%5Bpoint%5D={$longitude}%2C{$latitude}&whatshere%5Bzoom%5D=10

Please check necessary zoom values etc.
Thanks
It really works:

Code: Select all

Место [GPS 59.9390461 N 30.3158288 E] https://yandex.ru/maps/?ll=30.3158288%2C59.9390461&z=10&mode=whatshere&whatshere%5Bpoint%5D=30.3158288%2C59.9390461&whatshere%5Bzoom%5D=10

Here —> Palace Square with Alexander's Column

N.B.
Please have a look at the following.
This is one of the "share" links with marker

Code: Select all

Место [GPS 59.9310263 N 30.3611002 E] https://yandex.ru/maps/?ll=30.3611002%2C59.9310263&z=10&mode=whatshere&whatshere%5Bpoint%5D=30.3611002%2C59.9310263&whatshere%5Bzoom%5D=10

You can see the red line around? What is it for?
Marker

[alexlong]

I think 15 zoom would be OK

Palace Square Zoom15

Code: Select all

map.coordinates.share_provider=https://yandex.ru/maps/?ll={$longitude}%2C{$latitude}&z=15&mode=whatshere&whatshere%5Bpoint%5D={$longitude}%2C{$latitude}&whatshere%5Bzoom%5D=10

Hi again,
It seems that Yandex will display the surrounding city or neighborhood with this red line when displaying a marker...
I haven't found much information in English how to use markers with Yandex, maybe you'll more luck in Russian...

Anyway you're now free to use anything you want with the user setting...

[alexlong]

I will try

[alexlong]

Hi again.
Let's try my code above

Code: Select all

map.coordinates.share_provider=https://yandex.ru/maps/?ll={$longitude}%2C{$latitude}&z=15&mode=whatshere&whatshere%5Bpoint%5D={$longitude}%2C{$latitude}&whatshere%5Bzoom%5D=10

Try another zoom values . Do not care wirh this red line it's not too bad. We need to get marker it's important for example to make a route
4pda my discussion

[alexlong]

Hi, François!

I noticed that if I apply Open with: Other application and choose Yandex (either Yandex Maps application or any browser installed) I see a marker
In case I apply Open with: Yandex Maps there is no marker. Please change it as it works above in Open with: Other application etc. I think the maker will appear
