Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas

there is a way to recognize if a location is already marked, and if so then a new point can't be created on the exact point.
Done ( Github updated) you would get a console.alert message (up to you to put your own text).
I've seen it once but not easy to reproduce (thus to test) because it depends on the current location...Do you know that I could easily make the circle of the crosshairs variable in function of the number of pin's they represent, or even display at center of the crosshairs the number of pin's they represent.
Ask if you want.And I'm almost sure that your next request would be that if a pin just trashed is close to a crosshair area, this pin would be automatically included in this area if the pin is at good distance of each of area's points.
Am I wrong? Even if this process is not so easy. 😀 -

Ask if you want.Can you explain this a little more? As in the crosshairs would get larger the more pins are nearby? Because if so, that would be great. If this is what you are talking about, then I would prefer if it said on the crosshairs how many pins were combined (not coordinates but rather whole numbers)

That is what I wanted to say 🥲 in my poor English.

Obviously, not for today because, for me, not so easy, but promised

@cvp but what do you mean by variable function? Does it change color, size, etc?
-
@RocketBlaster05 said:
variable function?
Not variable function but variable in function.
If the group contains 3 pin's: small diameter, if it contains 10: big diameter.
But if the drawing contains the number of pin's, this varying diameter is not needed. -
@RocketBlaster05 you know that pin dimension stays fixed, in pixels, even if you are zooming in or out.
What do you think of this (complex) feature (mkmapview overlay) where I draw a circle of 10 meters around the center of the group and small circles at each point included in the group. -
@RocketBlaster05 in the previous example, the trash pin is in the circle but at more than 10 meters from at least one point.
-
@cvp that looks amazing. Take as much time as you like because that is beyond what I would have thought of.
Thanks!
-
@RocketBlaster05 Github updated with version with map overlay (I spent 3 hours this morning, don't worry, for my fun because I did not know this feature)
Please try it and tell me your opinion.I don't forget the 2 requests:
- display number of points in the crosshair area at center of cross
- automatically add a trashed pin at close crosshair area
Both will be done before end of tomorrow.
Don't forget that you need to zoom a lot before to see a circle with radius of 10m

@RocketBlaster05 sorry, I think I didn't upload the right code, waits one minutes, sorry

@cvp looks great!

@cvp I have a question. I see that for the number three in the center of the marks it has a white background, (I assume to make it easier to see) is it possible to apply the same thing to the trash emoji? I realized it was rather difficult to see on the hybrid map, and thought a white background would likely help
-
@RocketBlaster05 Out of curiosity, is this for some sort of class project? .You have mentioned a few times your deadline, and teachers comments...

@RocketBlaster05 said:

Sure it is, but in this way, you would hide the map behind...
I'll do it.Nb. Be patient for the more complex request about automatic add of a new trash to existing crosshair area.
-
@RocketBlaster05 the trash could even hide the face pin. Sure you want that?

@JonB @cvp if you want to know, I have a goal to make an app that encourages community cleaning efforts primarily through the map I’ve been developing with the abundance of help from @cvp. I had a rather bare one version for a school presentation and since then have wanted to fully develop the app. I genuinely believe that at least pushing the app out there could make a difference, even if only it would be a small one
