#5838 closed enhancement

Bing offset "bookmarks" — at Version 4

Reported by: malenki Owned by: Upliner
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: Core imagery Version:
Keywords: imagery bing offset Cc: A_Pirard

Description (last modified by A_Pirard)

Two things I miss at the saved Bing offsets:
*Possibility to make a saved offset the default offset being loaded when opening an imagery layer
*Possibility to easily edit saved offsets like renaming or changing the offset (yes, both is already possible with some workaround)

Change History (4)

1) Having default layer offset sometimes was considered dangerous by Stöcker(he rejected at least one patch for wmsplugin that does this), so I don't think I should implement it.

2) "Offset bookmarks" tab at Imagery Preferences isn't easy? What more do you want?

Replying to Upliner:

1) Having default layer offset sometimes was considered dangerous by Stöcker(he rejected at least one patch for wmsplugin that does this), so I don't think I should implement it.

So when I live/map in a region where Bing has per default quite some offset every time I open the Bing-layer I have to apply a offset.
uncomfortable

With the same argument (dangerous) one could say every default offset predefined is dangerous since it could be wrong. Ergo everytime the user wants to use Bing he should set the offset manually. :)
A region where Bing isn't correct per default is around Kirklareli, Turkey: http://osm.org/go/x08zy499s-

2) "Offset bookmarks" tab at Imagery Preferences isn't easy? What more do you want?

Sorry, forgot about that one.
But still I'd like to be able to correct the offset of a bookmark. Yeah, I could edit the coordinates. With much practise I could guess right, I guess. :)
Deleting and creating the offset anew would be one of the mentioned workarounds.

To correct bookmark you don't have to delete it, just type same name and it will be overwritten.
