Hello everybody!

What important problems are really solved by the View ---> Map Controls option in BaseCamp? Except for zooming map by using computer mouse without scroll wheel?

I found this feature useless for me, so I disabled it. But the blue triangle did not disappeared from the screen! :(

I always north up align all maps in Baseсamp. So this triangle is not needed for me too. I would like to be able to remove it from the screen, along with the View ---> Map Controls option. In order that it does not cover the map objects and does not flash before my eyes.

I think there are people on the forum to whom this improvement is important too. ;)

Thanks!

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Unfortunately I can only give you an answer you probably won't like: there are no plans to remove the triangle. It's a vital feature when you start rotating the map (especially in 3D view), and we don't think that adding a feature to remove it would provide enough net benefit to spend development time on it. The list of future improvements/features for BaseCamp is very long, this just won't make the cut.
  • If it disappeared how would I find it to use it when "I" wanted it. It doesn't bother me. I would like to see the Left pane be collapsed to the left to give me more map space. I would also like the hand to zoom in when I double clicked on an area rather than change back and forth to different tools. I like to pan then double click to zoom in on an area rather than pan change tool zoom in, Pan and zoom in...

    But everything is workable for me...

    FWIW
