The tool to create Segments seems to have been slightly changed today.  A couple of small points…

  • When creating Segments I zoom in quite tightly to more accurately see the start and end points.  It used to be that if I switched between tweaking the Start or End points, the map would automatically recentre itself, which was fine.  This no longer happens, which means I have to zoom out, moves to the start or end and zoom in again, which is a little tedious.  Can we please have the old functionality back.
  • The map showing the new Segment has blue and red colours to show what is included and excluded in the new Segment, as well as green and red markers to show the start and end points.  With the modified Create page there is now an offset between the green/red markers and the interface between the blue and red line colours, which is confusing and makes it difficult to accurately build a Segment.  Can this part of the design be reverted to the previous version which worked for years without such problems.

Thanks

Yes, the missing automatic switch to the the start or end point when outside the visible map is annyoing. I can’t see an offset between the markers and the red line though.

There is another bug in the new segment creation: You can’t really edit an existing segment anymore. If you alter the start and end point slightly you get the error message on saving that the new (sic!) segment can’t be created because it’s too similar to an existing one.

 


A few times I’ve created Segments where the GPS data has not been ideal (drift, etc.).  The next time I attempt the Segment (with better GPS), I create a new version and delete the old version.  Are you saying I would no longer be able to make this sort of improvement ?  If that’s the case it would be a little frustrating.


@Jan_Mantau - I confirm your findings - I tried to edit an old Segment of mine to move the start slightly and got a message to say the new Segment is too similar to an old one.  Surely it cannot be the intention that users are not allowed to make small corrections to their Segments ?
