Improve map rotation/zoom behaviour
Currently when pinching/rotating the map it's not really possible to only zoom without also rotating the map. This does not feel ideal. Also a user reported that this might be problematic for people with dizziness. Ideally the behavior would be similar to google maps, which seems to - within the first few pixels of touch - distinguishes between rotate and zoom and ignores rotation within a certain window while zooming. Unfortunately doing this is not that simple due to the way gesture detection is implemented in osmdroid and might require quite a lot of work and should probably done directly in the osmdroid codebase. Until then I see 2 options:
- find an easier workaround we can implement directly ~~2) until then add an option to disable map rotation completely~~ see #258
Agree. We could also disable rotation for the moment completely without an extra setting. You can still rotate your device 🙃
😁 I don't think the people that requested it before would be happy about that.
I'd also like single handed zoom gestures like in Google Maps and maps.me: Tap + Drag up: Zoom Out Tap + Drag down: Zoom In
