Exploroz team, I'm loving this new ability to alter place positions.
In planning last years trip to WA, and hopefully again in August, I noticed so many
places that were
well out of position, or not there at all, that I had been creating personal ones in Traveller, plus replicating many that I already had in Oziexplorer. Halfway through the trip I changed to using Traveller as I got more used to it, plus the promised updates helped to make it more desirable.
With the
places I had marked in Traveller alone I was verging on reaching the 1000 limit, so the recent update has had me starting to review each and move some to Public where needed and fix existing ones for better placement. My personal list is now 300+ shorter, so far. Many of the remaining are in other States, or I need to do more verification, particularly while at the location.
What I would like to see though is Place facilities for some location types being expanded as some are very limiting. This can mean creating multiple Icons for the one spot which then are on top of each other unless fully zoomed in. For example, a remote Roadhouse can have far more facilities than what are covered by some Place Types at present, fuel, various accommodation choices,
dump point, potable water and it may even be a Pub. Makes for a very cluttered location with multiple icons. I guess there is a downside to this though as it then would need a sorting option to only show Place Type's that include selected facilities/features if desired.
