Widescreen Map ViewFORUMS HOME SEARCH FORUMS

A number of people have asked if we could add an option to make the map wider when viewing a saved route on a desktop computer, similar to the Theater mode available on YouTube, which provides a larger display area without going fullscreen. While we can't do this as part of our free service, as this space is occupied by adverts that fund the free service, we have been able to add a new Widescreen option for Premium members. To use this, click on the new Widescreen icon    above the map to switch to Widescreen View and to reset back to the Default View.

Don't forget, the Fullscreen View is also still available for for all users by clicking on the fullscreen icon    in the top right above the map.

Team!

Loving the new feature as this has been a source of frustration since adopting Plotaroute as my main mapping facility and so thank you for bringing this to bear. 

I have only one more ask, can you offer a 'Super Wide' option to the toggle, some of us Premium members use HD or Wide HD screens, and we are still left with 1/3 of the screen estate as white background :-( - please? 

Thank you for your continued development of the platform.

Hi Kristian - thanks for that feedback. What size screen resolution do you have? We'll have a look into your suggestion.

Hi,

so my laptop is 2400 x 1600 and my desktop monitor is 3840 x 2160 [4K] which leaves a lot of screen real estate unused at the moment. 

Thank you for the prompt response. 

Kristian

Thanks Kristian , that's a big screen! We'll have a look to see what we can do.

Hi Kristian - we've tweaked the new Widescreen View to make use of the full screen width now. Have a look at let us know if there are any issues. Thanks again for this suggestion. 

Just AWESOME!

Just for reference, we have gone from this....

Thank you so much!

For everyone out there wondering if a subscription is right for you..... for this reason alone I would encourage you to do so. 

Wonderful!  Thanks for sharing that.

Hi, so the feature is so good, can we now apply it to Collections, as well as Routes, please? Thanks in advance. 

Thanks Kristian, we'll look into that idea.

We've now added the the new Widescreen Map View for Route Collections as well as Routes.

And works a treat it does! Thank you 

Hi,
I'm a premium member and the widescreen view is available for me.

BUT is ist also possible to create and share a link (maybe with some additional parameters), so that the widescreen modus is initial set for my followers using that shared link?

Best regards
Johannes
