Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas

@RocketBlaster05 said:
clear the marker
One more time, obviously due to my English level, I' m notsure that I understand correctly.
Could you list an ordered sequence of touch actions (number taps, type of press) and their result.
Thanks and sorry -
@RocketBlaster05 after reading deeper, would it not be easier if the tap on the crosshair does show a button "clear trash" that you could only pressed once?
Tapping this button should also clear the circles and this status should also be stored in the file.
Correct? -
@cvp Here is what I mean: (Clear is the same thing as remove)
- Circles are set and user can click on them (as you already have programmed)
- When the popup happens for the crosshair or a normal trash pin, there should be a button titled "Trash is Cleared"
- Specifically for the crosshair, however, it should have in the button a set of parentheses of how many presses are still needed to remove the pin. For an example, originally, the pin will say "Trash is Cleared (3)" but after someone presses it, it will then say "Trash is Cleared (2)"
- For the normal trash pins, it will only take one press to remove them. For the crosshairs, it should take 3 as mentioned above. Simply deleting them from the map and locations.txt file is all that needs to happen.
Hopefully this is understandable. If you need more clarifications just ask. Thanks!

@RocketBlaster05 Wen are the circles them-selves removed?
And you say, removed from the file, sure? -
@cvp Can you still add a trash in the group, even when the group has been partially cleaned?
-
@cvp yes. The idea is that once it reaches zero, any pins in the circle (including those added before it reaches zero) will be removed
-
@RocketBlaster05 ok, for tomorrow when you wake up, and you would see if I did correctly understand 🙄
-
@cvp 👍 sounds good
-
@RocketBlaster05 iOS MapKit does not allow a text in the button at right in the detail bubble list.
Only an emoji is allowed. I propose 🚮 and under: "(n)" if group.For a trash pin, do you want "(1)" below or nothing
-
-
@cvp yes that looks good.
-
@RocketBlaster05 there is not yet any process in my script, only display...still thinking
-
@cvp is it possible to put the word “needed” next to the (3) display? That would be the easiest for the user to understand. If not then just the (3) will be good.
-
@RocketBlaster05 so asked, so received
-
@cvp sorry if this an annoyance but I would prefer if the (3) was above needed. Sorry
-
@RocketBlaster05 so thus
-
@cvp yes. Sorry for the inconvenience
-
-
@RocketBlaster05 new Github available with some refreshing bugs solved and new feature of cleaning trash included. Please test and tell me
When a group is cleaned, it's pins disappear but it's circles will stay until next run.
-
@cvp works great! Once you manage to get the last step done of clearing the circles, I believe the map will finally be done! If I do follow through with making this an app, would you want payment or something? At the very least credits? I feel guilty having you do so much...
