Auto-rotation of the map

[Volodymyr-13]

Hey,

I just installed this app from the store and also built it from Xcode and I can't see a feature like auto-rotation.

For example app maps.me has this:

map.rotation.2.mov

I just want to lock map rotation like in this maps.me
Is this possible to implement?

Ah got it. Basically a feature where it should rotate according to the device's compass direction.

Currently there is no such feature, and I'm not sure if it is possible/easy to implement yet.

@vincentneo Sounds cool! Please update me here, so I'll compile and use new version and would love to test it!

Had tried a minor modification. Try this branch: https://github.com/merlos/iOS-Open-GPX-Tracker/tree/trial/followRotate

things are pretty choppy + you can't turn it on or off.

So fast)
Yea, toggle to turn it ON/OFF and some smoothing added and it will be fully implemented. Nice!

@vincentneo
Today I tried it again, two thing noted:

• it has some direction angle error
• to use it while ride(phone mounted on a bike) I need screen to be always ON(can such option be added into Settings of this app?)

@vincentneo Also I found two major problems here:

• it's very often shows my direction as like 90 degrees wrong of my actual, after some time it's fixes.. but then again
• it has a delay overall, so my actual position and on map in app is delayed like about for 2-3 seconds
