More compact view for the Dynamic profile Window (Or possibility to resize it)
Posted: Tue Oct 22, 2019 1:36 pm
Hello,
I have newly discovered AlpineQuest and I must say it clearly one of the best mapping apps (and I have tried most of them) out there so I really like it so far.
But there is one gripe that annoys me.. I like use the height profile in conjunction with the map, as it give you valuable information where you are on given track and to estimate trekking times etc.
The problem with AlpineQuest is just that it takes up too much of screen space. Currently about 50% of the screen, and of this 50% is just dead space giving no or very little information. See uploaded images.
So I propose a more "compact" and smarter view of the Dynamic profile window, designed to be used more or less permanently as you are using the app. Other takes on this could be to make it translucent or re-sizable. but I think a "compact" or "compressed" view would be the best.
Other mapping apps have a more forgiving view of the height profile that only takes up about ~20% or less of the screen which is enough as shown below on the screenshots.
Compared to other apps (Routes and GPX Viewer)
