Default tile layer setting on map tools other than live map

Mon, 09 Jan 2017 19:43:53 +0000

A feature request: I it is indeed very nice that the live map tool has a setting that allows the user to select a default tile layer for the underlying map so that one may have it set to for example OpenStreetMaps as default whenever the live map is opened.

It would seem, however, that the other map-based tools such as the D/T Matrix map tool lacks that option, making it default to Google Road.

My feature request is then to introduce either:

A per-map-based-tool setting for which tile layer is used on all map-based tools - or if that is too cumbersome to implement,
A global setting for all map-based tools other than the live map - or
One global map tile layer setting (controlled from whereever) that is then the default choice for all map-based tools

Would that be doable? Are there any significant drawbacks of having a setting like that? Is there any chance of having either of the above implemented?

Settings page does not save option "Disable "Did you know?"" despite declaring "settings updated"

I have tried several times now to see if it me who kept forgetting to tick the box prior to pressing the "Update settings"-button. It does not appear to be the case. When the page returns with the "Settings updated." message in the top, the tick is gone from the checkbox next to "Disable "Did you know?"".

Settings page does not support regions in override home location

I see that an option has been added to let you add an override setting to let you yourself determine your home location, rather than have an algorithm determine it on the basis of your finds. Admirable.

It seems, however, that there is a discrepancy between what this system knows about which regions are available, and which regions the map filters do. If I go to one of the map tools and choose Denmark as my home country (default, has a button next to it with a flag), I get to pick from one of the 5 regions in Denmark afterwards to narrow my search (and then the same again for county within that region , but that's irrelevant here). If I explicitly pick Denmark in the override drop-down box on the settings page, no options are available in the "Regions" drop-down box.

Its fair enough if the algorithm determines that it does not have sufficient data to conclude which region is my home region (and I am explicitly not opening the discussion on whether it does or not here), but for the override setting, all the regions should be an option. It's not like project-gc does not know which ones are available.

Thank you for a very good website with features of tremendous utility and only minor glitches, one of which is this :)

I accidently denied ProjectGC to use my geolocation, but would like to revoke that setting. I can't find where?
