coordinate display behavior
« on: March 18, 2005, 10:11:49 AM »
A minor suggestion:

When the mouse pointer moves off of the map graphics area/window I'd like the lat/lon display (in the toolbar) to indicate the location of the center of the map. Right now it shows the location where the pointer left the area (edge). It would also be nice if you could copy the lat/lon to the clipboard for pasting into other applications. Perhaps right-clicking the lat/lon area of the toolbar would pop-up a small menu with "Copy to clipboard" being an option.

Better yet, in Pan mode (and perhaps other modes) how about a right-click pop-up menu to grab the lat/lon under the pointer? Sure would make it easy to quickly grab coordinates of a map.

Yes, you can accomplish this with waypoints, but it's more cumbersome.

Hmm, good ideas all around.

I agree we need some better clipboard usage for coordinates, here and in a few other places.
