[resolved] Edit UTM Coordinates Display/behaviour Problem.
Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2021 12:19 am
Hi I have come from ViewRanger as they have killed it. I have been testing and do love Alpine quest but I have one problem and that is entering or editing UTM coordinates.
When you open up the edit Coordinates dialog to manually enter coordinates I have two problems one is that not all the numbers are displayed in UTM mode (This is better with Lat/Long option as there are two lines and you can see all the numbers.)
My other problem is the behavior when editing. at the moment you get a greyed out indication of what the coordinates are but when you start to edit they disappear. I would rather you could scroll the number and edit what digits you want.
I do UTM Grid searches. I will make a path with two points and then edit the grid location of the two end points to a round number so I can be on a grid line. So I just need to scroll to the last few digits and change them. With the current behaviour this is made unnecessarily hard as I need to remember the full coordinate and retype the whole thing but I can't even see the full number in UTM mode.
Hope you can fix this simple thing in an otherwise amazing app. Regards Jon
