Hi Emux,

thanks for the new version!

The color of the GeoJson is now very well!

Sort of the Waypoints bug or Fetaurees?

Testcase:

-Insert Depature
-Insert Destination
-Routing OK
-insert Viapoint 1
-Routing OK
-insert Viapont 2
-Routing OK

Now i reorder Via Point 1 with ViaPoint2

- insert the Viapont 1 betwenn ViaPonte2 and Destination

- then the ViaPoint2 is the last  and then the destination bevor....

I Think the reorder in the table is a good feature (better than nothing).


I think IMHO  a better feature is the graphic inserted new via between any two vias like in broute web ===> http://brouter.de/brouter-web/   ==>This routing is very simple and practical

I am aware that I can re-sort the vias graphically.


Whises:

-Show the Atributes off the GPX File like the Routing ( distance, etc.

Thanks for all
Achim

I don't understand exactly what you mean - something is not working right?

The basic idea is to allow the users to reorder / remove the waypoints easily.
A versatile solution is with the new dynamic draggable waypoints list.

After any changes by the user, the route is restructured (depending on waypoints number):
- Departure
- Via-points (if waypoints > 2)
- Destination

Yes an interesting implementation.

GPX support just started its course.

Again thank you for the constant feedback!

I mean..I have two Via1 and Via2 and resort Via1 after Via2 and before Destination then VIA1 (now (Via2  ) is however the Destination OR?

On the contrary, user feedback is valuable for an app or library in order to get better over time.

New wishes:

Can you please suport to load a "waypointsxx.gpx" (many?)  as layer from mapsforge. I can then use this Waypoints as orientation to generate Vias for routing helper.
(...and demonstration of mapsforge for example....)

What do you think about this?

Can you be more specific?
There is currently support for all GPX types (waypoints, routes, tracks).

For waypoints an analysis takes place and the bubbles fill with e.g. title, description, elevation.

For routes / tracks besides the line overlay,
if the route / track points have also more information, then there are also bubble markers for them.

Hi Emux,

I would like to make a suggestion, which is 
"http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1"
compliant.

If you save it so you can download and use to reroute it again.

The standard tools should be able to process this format.

Best regards
Achim

Shouldn't it be better with waypoints ?

Tools usually connect track points and paint a line from them.

I have proposed to Peter to review GraphHopper GPX export feature.
https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/issues/310
When I find some time I can create a pull request at GraphHopper with the proper changes.

Additionally I could implement a new GPX export with more options as needed.

That's how it should be!. The problem with Graphhopper is that both a route and a track in a file is.
If you have exported only one segmented track at my suggestion it's a normal track like many tools (eg Oruxmaps).

But your tool (Atlas) can extract the Routepoints and show/highlight it for modification.

-first trackpoint ==>Depature
-each first <trp> in a segment is a ViaPoint (
except the first one ==> Depature)
-last trackpoint ==> Destination

Best regards
Achim

waypoints with the instructions from Graphhoper is a additional feature to the segmented track

I was meaning that saving just the route points (start, via, end) in a file for later use, we need only their coordinates.

So shouldn't we use in the gpx format the "waypoints" for that?
After all we're saving strictly points.

Could you explain more the benefits of that UI?

i.e. for inserting intermediate waypoints we can do with right click in Atlas and long press in Cruiser.

The removal of a waypoint can be accomplished via dialog in both apps.
(Because with the tap we show bubbles with info)

sure, I know these functions .
..However the possibility , it is always inserted VIAs at the last Via and the Destinatin. I now the resort in the dialog....

I can click,click,click.... for routing

-first klick ==> Atlas  (Depature with right click an Depature select)
-second click ==> Via Point 1
-third click ==> Viapoint 2
..and so on
- x. Klick ===> Viapoint x
-last click ==> Destination
ESC or 'q' end routemode

I can now insert and position (VIAs) at any position between two Viapoints via drag on the routeline (white dot)  new Viapoints

With "d" i can continue the routing at the end (Dstination ==> last Via) click, cklick...each click inserts a neu Via ESC or 'q' ends routing and the last point are the Destination.

All without dialog....

In addition, I think you should be able to give the vias name for better orientation and re-sorting (Place ofbeer, castle Womisa, bicycle nod_x,GeoCache xx...)

Best regards
Achim

Also a nice idea!

For all these there is thought to be done for the UI.

Hi Emux,

thanks for your new version.

Wishes:

When I load a track with a lot Trasckpoints generated by the GPS in Atlas Atlas is then slowly and somewhat confusing. You can only nn trackpoints per Km take depending on the zoom level?

It would also be nice if the "Screenshot"  would be in addition in the clipboard

Kindly regards
Achim

Ps: FYI: The Rendering on the tile boundaries are partially incorrect ( for example . Asperg and Schwieberdingen on the pcture)

I place track points if they have information for the user (like name) to click them.
For tracks it would be better to show simply the line?

Agreed, will be added in next version.

You mean the tile grid hides the below map elements (normal behavior) or we have half labels on the map itself?

....i think yes.

In the future, you should be able to select a track point which you then can see. Or can set a waypoint I have in mind that you can use this track for a new rerouting (modify).

no.

yes. Show the picture (without the Grid)

Sorry that I cannot confirm that (screenshot).

BTW are you playing with LabelLayer enabled or not?

If you reload the map (from Tools) in order to clear the cache, what do you see?

Mapsforge uses an internal cache mechanism prior drawing in order to handle the labels / symbols at tile borders.

Apparently simply using the rendering engine for getting a z/x/y bitmap would skip that.

.....but it is better than nothing to for tools that require a Tile-server to use MFG

....please create a "full" MFG-Tile-Server in a desktop example section.
That should still be easy for MFG developers and many are waiting for such a server on.

Hi Emux,

Thanks for the new features. This works very well for me.

  • Question:The new Graph Hopper graph is much smaller (Baden-Wuerttemberg  e.g. edges old = 231.425KB  edges new 80.897.
  • Is that right ?
  • Each time you restart the "Tile Grid" is displayed. Is that intentional?
  • For the distance measurement I had an expansion proposal: Draw an additional distance circle. See my picture. I've got several cursor modes
  • The most missed features are a Elevationdiagrammund compress the possibility a logged GPS track. Both functions can you get from Graphhopper ready (Elevation, Douglas Peuker) and the OSM Attribute lige BRouterweb (eg. Trackgrade)

As a suggestion:

  • I have the MobacServer in Gpsmaster purely chopped in conjunction with Graph Hopper and BRouter. GpsMaster has a super Gpx management (tracks hide/show, color change, etc ..)

Thanks again for Atlas!


Kindly regards

Achim

Are you sure? I just created the graph with pbf from Geofabrik and it's 174MB.
The default graph creation settings (as seen in graph.properties file) are car,foot,bike with turn costs.
Have you modified the graph.properties file?

You mean the Debug - Tile grid?
You can set it on/off and it should hold the preference on restart, at least that's how I see it.

Sorry that was my fault. I have Atlas in the virtual box and by restart from the "clear VB" i have this effect

Seeing the date of the old graph, was this created by me?

Those days I included also elevation data, which could increase the graph size.

Now the default settings are without elevation.

But it's supported by Cruiser / Atlas
and can be enabled in the graph.properties file.
