Map API, need suggestions for how to execute ideas
-
@cvp it seems to be tracking me pretty well. I do not know the limits of the code but is it just a simple fix to make it about every 2 seconds? to more accurately cover somebody walking versus driving? Thanks
-
@RocketBlaster05 GitHub ok for 2 seconds
-
@cvp and while testing it at school several pins popped up. I am back home now and the map was zooming in on the cluster of pins rather than the face (the face is not even in the region shown). Any idea what might be causing this? Thanks

Yes, it works so, région of zoom does not include user location. Do you want it includes it?

ah there is an issue with this... I assume there is a time.sleep() somewhere in the code when the update is called, because every couple of seconds it freezes for about 1 second. I do not know how vital or where the time.sleep() is.
Edit: I removed the time.sleep() causing the issue and seemingly nothing is wrong with the code...
-
@RocketBlaster05 said:
removed the time.sleep()
Ok but the time.sleep was needed in the past to let the location start doing its job...
-
@cvp I have run it a couple times to test it and it still looks fairly smooth, I do not see anything wrong with it.
-
@RocketBlaster05 in my code, I'll let it with sleep(0.1) by security

I forgot to tell you, sorry, that I have realized that including all the pins on start will cause some issues... I would rather it just center on the face. Sorry for the inconvenience
Also, the trash pin on the face removes the face... Is it meant to do so? Thanks
-
@RocketBlaster05 GitHub updated with "at start zoom on region including all pin's and user location"

I had just updated in another way....before reading this post,
Ok, I'll modify but if I center on user location, at which scale? Including what?
Or I zoom like if no pin, like the first run
-
@cvp The zoom should just be within maybe just a couple blocks, nothing too large. I want the user to be able to see a couple of nearby roads like if they were in a neighborhood.

This bug will be for tomorrow...

No worries. I'm sure it's pretty late near you now. I have a couple weeks to make sure everything is nice and smooth, so believe me there's no rush for anything here. I still can't say how much I appreciate what you're doing here... saving me so much time... thank you.
-
@RocketBlaster05 my pleasure

@RocketBlaster05 I've to add that I don't like the look of the .loc file, I want to change it so it could contain all what we need but in a better way. I hope that I'll find the time to do it.
-
@cvp just a note: since the current location is replaced with a trash, It is causing there to be "too many values to unpack" on line 281. I assume this is due to the nature of the other pins.
I'll check in again tomorrow. Thanks.
Edit: In regards to the message below: Yes in your github script. It occurs after you mark the person's location as trash and then attempt to place a second red pin on the map.
