Events radius options

Postby rsa4HIM » Tue Feb 28, 2012 2:32 pm

It would be very beneficial if there was an option under "Events radius" to show ONLY events "On route". Likewise, it would be great if there was quick access (perhaps an icon on the main screen) to all Reports "On route" (right now it's a couple clicks away). Its nice to see all the reports popping up but as more users join (which we want) there seem to be more irrelevant (at least to me) reports constantly on my screen which is very distracting.

Oft-asked feature. It should be in an upcoming release. No ETA.

YES on route would be awesome!! also a smaller radius would be helpful too.. I was driving in my area and I saw things for other parts of the county about 20-30 minutes from where I was.. I dont need to see that...

I used to see things reported 300 km (190miles) away on v. 3.0.1.1 ;)

What we have been told is that without navigation, the application will use the radius set in your settings. With navigation, this grows to cover the distance to your destination (I suspect it doesn't shrink back down till the next routing, or restart).

well, I understand that part with growing radius with the route distance, but why should I see reports from a city 300 km away, if my route (which is like 15km long) is in a completely different city :)

Then there is possibly a bug. I couldn't tell if you were routing, or how far you may have been if doing so.

Suggest you open a support case via the quick help section of the support webpage.
