Popular Routes
Talking about My routes page and ui, it would be sweet to get a nice plotaroute icon when I use 'Add to my home screen' in Chrome browser on my Android and also that it behaves like a Web app when using it on My routes page.
This is really a nice-to-have. Not necessary at all I suppose...
Thanks Peter. We'll have a look into the Android icon. A web app would be a major project though.
Hmm, with web app I didnt mean any complicated.
If I'm in an edit map screen, I already get what I ment by web app. A full screen window without Chrome menus and address field.
Nice icon, thanks.
Sorry Peter, I misunderstood. We can certainly look at that. It looks like webapp support has developed somewhat since we looked at this previously. I think it might more more sense though for our home page to be the one to add a webapp option to - this is a more natural gateway to the site than the My Routes page, which would require you to sigin-in in any case. From what I can see, once you have entered the site via a webapp page, the site stays in full-scren webapp mode when you move to other pages, as long as they are not opened in a new tab (although it works slightly differently on iPhones), so you will still be in webapp mode when you navigate to your My Routes page.
Are there any plans to launch a Plotaroute app? The site is very useable on a mobile but it would be great to have a dedicated app.
Hi Edward - we're hoping to have some news on that topic very soon.
Great work! I'm looking forward to hearing about the Plotarouteapp in the near future!
