[Feature - Discussion] Provide UI feedback on click location

Open muizidn opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm always frustrated when click to any location to do spoofing but no feedback wether I do it right or wrong because my iphone map not update its location

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Provide feedback that I've correctly selected a location and the application recognize that but I need to do long press to spoof
  • Provide feedback that I've correctly selected a location and automatically show small popup
  • Use location pin that show/hide popup when needed
  • Right click to show popup

Additional context Google Map is a good reference for this feature

Hi @muizidn,

I'm not sure what the purpose of this feature would be, besides providing a feedback to the user that he clicked?

Just setting annotation markers with a short click, does not provide any useful feature, besides confusing the user what he should do with this marker. That means either I build a complete feature around the annotation markers, e.g allow setting multiple markers and make up a route, or I just change the long click to spoof to a short click to spoof.

There are a couple of problems with option 1:

  • The easiest and most obvious interaction should be spoofing, not placing markers. That means placing markers should either be hidden behind a menu item or a right click.
  • I'm not sure if planing routes is out of the scope of this project. There are a lot of tools to create GPS files, that can be used instead.
  • It requires a lot more work, which requires time, that I'm not willing to invest in the moment, since I'm still developing this software for free, in my free time.

Option 2:

  • If spoofing is done by a short click, you might unintentionally teleport all the time. That is the whole reason, why it's a long click in the first place.

I'm happy to hear the input from others regarding this issue. Maybe someone has an idea for a none confusing short click feature, that does not distract from the spoofing feature.
