Open Tasks Datasources
Downloading
Automatically updating datasources in intervals provided by datasource
ARML support
GeoJSON support
act as WFS Client (WFS = Web Feature Service)
http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wfs
as XML
as GeoJSON
Local/custom datasources
Showing “local” datasources in datasources menu depending on actual user position
Showing market links to separate apps with local content.
For custom/launcher apps show specific datasource as first entry in datasource menu
Custom datasource dialog should always be shown when clicking on it (not only for long clicks)
Meta or link tag on websites pointing to datasource
Marker
Clustering
Show text only for foremost marker
POIs being behind only show circles
Zoom? functionality
Show hidden marker after clicking foremost one
Row by row or
Radially, like Google Earth does or
Zoom into the screen with Pinch-to-zoom
Stack social media messages like HTC SMS widget
Detailed text boxes
Shown on the lower part of the screen after clicking on a POI
Contents
Image of datasource
Title
Long description
Clicking on it activates WebView to the provided link
Sliding right/left on text box switches to the next POI right/left of the current one
Currently selected POI should be highlighted (the corresponding circle and the point in the radar)
Add support for lines and polygons
use OpenGL ES
UI
Side arrows
Show a small arrow with amount of POIs being outside of the screen on the left and right side of the screen
Portrait mode
When holding device horizontally automatically switch to MapView
Aearoplane mode like Layar has
Clicking Back twice should exit Mixare
ListView
On the top of the list show all visible markers and below all other downloaded but invisible markers
Sensors
Compass
Smooth compass measurements
Show notification when compass measurements are not reliable
Integration with high precision DTM (Digital Terrain Model) and visibility analysis
using WPS (http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wps)
Searching/Filtering
Distinguish between searching and filtering
Filtering: Filters downloaded marker data for a keyword
Searching: Querying datasources with a keyword or some kind of category
Not matching markers should be transparent
Filtering should be done on complete marker list (not only visible ones)
Searching can be done in datasource menu like selecting a tag/feature category for openstreetmap or wikipedia
Completed Tasks Datasources
Downloading
Downloading and showing multiple datasources simultaneously
Marker
Different marker categories
Social media markers
Social media messages floating in the sky in speech bubbles
Distance has influence on size and angle of the speech bubble
POI markers
Geographic features like wikipedia entries
Navigation markers
Small arrows pointing to objects like cities or train stations
Two marker lists
all downloaded markers
visible markers
Distance
Show distance as number
Make distant POIs increasingly transparent --> distance is encoded through circle diameter
Remember from which datasource the marker originates
UI
MapView
Only show 10? icons with logo, all other markers with small red dot to increase performance --> Not necessary, mapview had a bug and it is fixed now
Sensors
GPS Height
POIs without height information should be shown on the same height as the user or with elevation angle zero
