Information pop-up

Hi,

While browsing a map in Basecamp, I keep getting an information pop-up, which I find annoying to say the least. Is there a way of turning this feature off, please ?

Cheers millditch

    Not that I know of, just keep that cursor moving and your left pinkie near the escape button....:confused::mad:

    Maybe setting the detail level down might help a little. I use the hand tool most of the time while browsing and it seems to take about 2-3 seconds to do the popup. so I try to leave it in a blank space.
  • I've noticed that if you select a route, track, etc. in the list pane on the left, not only does it "highlight" the item on the map, it also brings up an info balloon. Since I clicked on the item in the list, I already know what it is! Seeing the highlighted item on the map is sufficient, I don't need a balloon popping up on the map which covers some of the map underneath.
  • Agreed, very annoying. If I want to get that sort of detail I'd be happier if it was provided via a 'right click'. It's also a pain when trying to plot a direct route, as it invariably covers where I'm trying to insert my next waypoint :mad:
  • A similar thing happens when you edit the position on a waypoint. If the position (lat/long) is in error, the "Invalid Input" box pops up which partially covers what you need to correct!

    Me too - I found this thread while searching for a solution but haven't come across one yet. Let me know when this annoying feature is corrected.

    This is still an issue in Windows BS 4.2.2. Driving me nuts.

    This is one of the more annoying 'helpful features' I've ever seen in a piece of software. That damn balloon is always in the way especially when using the routing tool. Driving me NUTS!!!!!!!!!!

    This is on our roadmap. I have opened a case for hopefully the 4.3 release. No promises but it is indeed being taken under serious consideration.

    Can I use this information popup to better define the location for a waypoint? Example: Placing a waypoint on an interstate, the popup shows I-10W and I-10E. I would like to select I-10E. How do I do that? In Mapsource it was a right click of the mouse and then select the desired value. That does not work in Basecamp.
