Merlin1392 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 On last week's GeoGearHead's show I learned a few more things that I really like about Cachly. As a relative new user, I'm getting to like it more and more. However, there's one feature I don't know if there's a way to deal with. Zooming. When I want to zoom in, it's usually to get a better read on the roads and features in and around the cache location. As I zoom in, I get about a 2second large view and then the screen "snaps" back to a small text view, but less overall area displayed. Is there a way to keep the text large? Some of us are getting more visually challenged and need to actually read road signs. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefootguru Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Yeah, Cachly's map and Apple Maps are the 2 worst places for small text for me It's a workaround, but iOS can show a magnifying glass on the screen: http://www.wikihow.com/Magnify-Your-iOS-Device-with-Accessibility-Zooming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attila_G Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Same problem here. I use the offline map "Switzerland" but it happens on the standard Google map too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Maps will use the iOS accessibility settings and make the font sizes larger. In the future we are looking at making this possible for our offline maps.

barefootguru Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 In Settings > Display & Brightness > Text Size you can bump up the slider to make the street names on Apple's map more legible (both the Maps app and Apple Maps option within Cachly). Unfortunately iOS increases the font size everywhere… I'd rather it only increased the tiny fonts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we added an option in Cachly to change the text size of maps it would ONLY be able to affect our offline maps. All other maps are either raster tiles (images that are already created) or controlled by iOS, as in Apple Maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefootguru Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 That would suit me… at least until I age a few more years And it's a 'minimum offline map font size=x' I'm after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bärenkatapult Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hi there, ist there any news on this feature request? I really would appreciate a minimum font size on offline maps. No need for other map types Thanks, Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if you change the iOS Setting for text size you will see that reflected in our maps. Bärenkatapult 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
