#4413 closed enhancement

diversify zoom-level when zooming onto a small object — at Version 4

Description (last modified by skyper)

Hi again,

please, use a higher zoom-level when zooming to (zoom to selected) a single node. Right now, it is often hard to catch with your eyes the selected node if there are some nodes around it.

Thanks a lot

Summary: use higher zoom-level when zooming to a single nodezoom-level varies when zooming to a small element

Zoom-level when zooming on small elemets should be adjusted.

Right now I think it depends on the elements around.
For example: I can find "nodes without a connection, nor a tag" easily in the outside area, but I can not find them in a heavily loaded area of a 4 way connection with lots of extra lanes and footways.

Zoom-level on nodes should be adjusted to the number of elements around it. more elements -> higher zoom-level.

For ways: I can have a way of 2 nodes of a lenght of 0.5 meters or less up to kilometers.
Right now zoom-level is only adjusted if the way is big but not for tiny ones.

Zoom-level should be adjusted to the length of way.

Thanks

I rewrite this bug an turn it into an enhancement since JOSM works right but it is often hard to find small objects.

Write now it is often hard to find selected node(s) or short way(s) if there are many other objects around the selected ones.

A fast fix would be: set the min-zoom-level higher.

A real fix would be: investigate the area around the objects and adjust the zoom-level:

  • for nodes: use a higher zoom-level if there are many other nodes around the selected one/ones.
  • for way: the length is important (fixed through higher min-zoom-level) and also it is important if there are many other objects close to it.

Thanks a lot

Please, use this file

attachment:true_overlapps.osm:ticket:4582

  • select an object
  • use "zoom to data" (1) and "zoom to selection" (3)

imagine an even bigger and more dense data layer !
