Search results list menu

[MotoUKRider]

When searching for a Favorite/POI and we want to navigate to it, there's often no need to tap it to display the icon+info on the map if we are happy that we know we've got the right one.

How about being able to long-press on the search result list to invoke the same popup menu that you get when you long-press a Favorite icon on the map?

@MotoUKRider thanks for the suggestion.

When we select a search result it appears on the map. Then we can long press it and use it through its menu.
Do you mean we could use a different method?

We could also add a menu icon to the right of each result, like in other lists.

[MotoUKRider]

@devemux86 Yes, I find the "icon on the map" annoying, I was hoping that we could just select it from the drop-down list. The 3 dots on the other lists are a little small, but manageable!

Next Cruiser will display a menu button in the search results that will immediately open their action menu.
(like when we select them on the map)

Cruiser now displays a menu button in the search results that opens their action menu:

• Cruiser 5.0.0 (Beta) #610

[DolomitesTom]

yes this works now, but:

The search routine somehow doesn't work, example "Gerolstein", on a first search it finds nothing, on a second search it finds some streets named "Gerolsteiner Straße" in Frankfurt. On further searches it finds it. Something is not ok (search areas active only online, routes, favorites)

[devemux86]

@DolomitesTom you mentioned using online search, OpenRouteService or GraphHopper?

Both services work here, if the searched item is inside the visible map area.

It works like you asked here:

• Show Search Result on map missing #604 (reply in thread)

if it is possible to have online search also inside the visible map area

[DolomitesTom]

OpenRouteService, but it is the same with Graphhopper. In Cruiser 5 "Gerolstein" finds nothing. In Cruiser 4 it finds the city online. Did you test this?

[DolomitesTom]

I think you misunderstand. Online search for categories within the visible map is fine. But the online search for addresses should work also outside of the visible map. Maybe I was not precise enough when formulating the request, my fault. I don't know how you could identify it, maybe by splitting the search in category-search and full search?

[devemux86]

That's why reports need to be very very detailed, so that we can understand what they mean
and not waste time going backwards and forwards. 🙂

• Online free text search will be restored without bounds, like before.

• Online category search always uses the visible map area.

[DolomitesTom]

ok but "Biergarten" is no existing category, but only a virtual category. How would you recognize that I only want to see them in the visible map?

[devemux86]

@DolomitesTom if you mean amenity=biergarten, this is included in the "Food" category.

[devemux86]

Or search with text "biergarten" with offline or online POIs,
but have to zoom in enough and search in the visible area.

Cannot search for POIs in the whole Germany.
