Title: Interactive link between Map and Control Panel
Post by: Old "Snowy" Leopard on January 25, 2013, 08:47:42 am
It would be very useful to have interaction between the control panel and the map.
i.e.
If I highlight a mark in the control panel, I would like it to flash on the map.

If I highlight a mark on the map, I would like to be 'thrown to it' in the control panel, (if the panel is open).

(The existing behaviours of markers on the map, (flashing; turning white; suppressing other headings, etc.), are great and should be retained.)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Yes to this! 8-)

This works well for a zoomed in map - the whole marker is available for selection.
For zoomed out maps - getting the mouse to the exact pixel that the marker represents is difficult.

Nice! Does clicking a marker on the map open the Control Panel too? If not it'd be very handy.

If the Control Panel is open you will be taken to the marker, no matter which group was open before.


If the Control Panel is not open the marker is merely selected, (flashes).


(When selecting a marker from the Control Panel the map will centre on that marker).

On second thought, this is probably better. It might get annoying pretty quickly if I find a reason to click a number of markers and have the CP pop open and cover a bunch of the screen every time.
