<html dir="ltr"><head></head><body style="text-align:left; direction:ltr;"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>I've added a set of buttons into the layout which should assist in making notes if you come across a building with solar panels whilst surveying. The buttons are </div><div>* Roof_PV-L if the building with panels is on your left as survey,</div><div>* Roof-PV-R</div><div><br></div><div>* PV_315-44</div><div><br></div><div>* PV_225-314, PV_45-134,</div><div><br></div><div>* PV_135-224</div><div><br></div><div>As you move, OSMTracker displays your direction of travel, in degrees (North is 0 or 360) .</div><div><br></div><div>My suggestion is that you touch a button to indicate if you have seen panels on your left or right, and then touch a button to indicate which way the panel is facing (most, but not all, are facing South). If you want to further refine this, touch two buttons to indicate to yourself when editing that the panels were facing, for instance South East.</div><div><br></div><div>Obviously not as good for volume updates, but it all helps.</div><div><br></div><div>At the moment the set is available using the settings for my repository;</div><div><br></div><div>Github username = Nick-Tallguy</div><div>Repository Name = osmtracker-android-layouts</div><div>Branch name = detailed-tracks</div><div><br></div><div>Any problems or suggestions, please get back to me.</div><div><br></div><div>I've submitted a pull request for the set to be included within the standard list as I think they are now complete, but I'm always open to suggestions.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div>Nick</div><div>OSM = Tallguy</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>On Sun, 2019-08-18 at 20:33 +0100, Nick Allen wrote:</div><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi - for Mark and anyone else who was having problems with the displayed icons.</div><div><br></div><div>I've created another layout set, this time with icons 300 pixels in size - previous set had 500px.

Personally I was coming from a marketing and user friendliness point of view. It's confusing for users and will probably cost the new developer time in the long run as he/she will probably get some issues raised on GitHub that relate to the "other" OSM Tracker. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Would have thought a rebrand would have been useful if no way to get the old app down.
