request: MAP overview if GPX data is available

juergo

i would be nice to have a map on top where all pictures a displayed where gpx data is available.
the gpx data info could be stored in *.json file in the cache folder.

Yes, it could be an option. But when you say "all pictures", so you mean all pictures in a single dir? Or do you mean all pictures in all folders? Where would this map display from? It's slightly unrelated, since it requires a separate interface in Files Gallery that is entirely unrelated to the file browser.

It would be useful if you have links to other apps that do something like this.

juergo Do you happen to have any examples where you have seen such GPS map behavior before? I am researching ideas of design and implementation.

idea: a combination of PHP and Leaflet.js

in config file e.g displaymap = "true"

on top in menue section there is a map zoomable displayed
e.g 100% width 20% height

PHP extracts geotag data from the images in a folder and serves it as JSON.
Leaflet.js renders the map and places markers at the photo locations.
option1: Clicking a marker displays a popup with the photo thumbnail or
option2: Leaflet.js places very tiny thumbnails on the map. clicking on a thumbnail opens the foto in a popup.

juergo Indeed it could be a nice feature to include an overlay map with photo locations for the current folder. Your suggestion would be a challenge on mobile devices, but I'm sure there are solutions.

I think you mean below the menu, above the files in the current dir? That's where I would imagine it, with an "expand" button to expand the map to cover full stage area.

below the menu or where it is easy to place

for mobile phone i would skip this function since screensize is limited and you will not get much of a benefit.

does this mean you will implement this feature?

It could be available from a button, but probably won't be partially visible like it could be on desktop.

Yes.
