Hi all. In my application (a kind of survey app for investigate transport models), users have to introduce their address, and start and end address of their travels. Users will do this in a touch screen. At present my app is showing the map on screen, and I can move the map, make a zoom, and select the streets (when i click in a street with the info tools-info action, a frame appears showin street´s name, postal code...and the rest of info stored in the .shp). Now I´m trying to show the street names in the map. I´ve readed the style lab and I think i could achieve it, but it´s being hard ;) That´s fine, but I think there´s a little problem... users will have to search their direction manually, zooming the map until a known zone, moving the map, zooming again until they can see a near street...etc. I think it can be awful for some users, and others will be lost seeing the whole map. Is there any posibility to place the map in a determined point introduced manually, for example a postal code zone (this info is in the .shp file), searching directly for street name... I´ve read something about filters for searchs like this, but once you have found the feature/s searched, how to place the map view in that area? I´ve to investigate more once i´ve finished with styles (showing street names), but if someone have suggestions, any help will be appreciated. Thanks, and sorry again for my english ;) Alberto Silva López. Researcher and Software Developer @ University of A Coruña (UDC). |
