Bluetooth device key mappings work but also change map view.
-
Hi
Using Android
I'm trying to use a cheap bluetooth controller to remotley zoom in and out, I use a key mapper app to map buttons from the device to specfic actions, it was working but since I last updated the OS it's not working as expected.
The Zoom does work when I press the remote but it also changes the view to Top Down, I press the + button on the remote, the map zooms in and then it changes to Top Down view, zoom out (minus) works fine.!
This shows the key mappings, I have also tried = instead of + but same result.
Any ideas?
Thanks

@Rob-Kelley please, which key mapper App are you using?
Nothing is impossible ;-)
GARMIN Zumo 210->GARMIN Zumo 395->GARMIN XT=>DMD T865-X + MyRoute-App, LocusMaps, OsmAnd.

@Guzzist it’s just called ‘Key Mapper’ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.sds100.keymapper&pcampaignid=web_share

Hy Rob, Corjan has changed something with automated zoom last time. I'm in contact with him, to get setting preferences also for remote controller "Remote 2" from DMD - because many others and I'm are using it. He promised to work on.In meantime, I use "WunderLINQ" as preference in input settings. But this isn't working correct - but is the best option currently.
By your message, I was motivated to check MyRoute-App (Vers. 4.3.6.-382) at my device (T865-X from DMD) again. The result is similar to your observation:
-
Map in Top down:
zoom in (+) works correct
zoom out (-) works correct -
Map in North up:
zoom in (+) works, but changes map orientation to top down
zoom out (-) no action! -
Map in Dynamic style:
zoom in (+) works, but changes map orientation to top down
zoom out (-) no action!
My preferences during navigation in map layer for zoom is: off!
I can understand - for users which don't use remote controller - some automation for zoom is welcome and benefitcial. But by using a remote controller, it's much much more secure and user friendly to do zoom manually by remote! For this, the option to set zooming "off" in the preferences is made for - in my opinion. But it doesn't work as expexted.
May Corjan is co reading here - or we should risea ticket...

thanks for testing this and yep that's my experience as well, hopefully a fix will be soon.

@Rob-Kelley I've just created a support ticket.
-
Full control over zoom level with a bluetooth controller is only possible with the top-down mode.
-
@Corjan-Meijerink oh, any plans to change this so it can be done in dynamic mode?

@Rob-Kelley no, cause then it isn't dynamic anymore
-
@Corjan-Meijerink I get what you mean but I don’t agree.
My Zumo, in dynamic mode, allows me to zoom in and out and will then go back to dynamic view after a short period. -
It would be great if zoom in and out use the same view as Dynamic (aka 3D view). also as TomTom do.
Really it can't be deployed?
Best Regards!!!!
