Feature request: One handed zooming

[4rne]

It would be cool if you could zoom in and out with one hand if possible by the map framework.
On Google Maps or Locus it is a double tap and slide action.
Like this:

• tap screen
• release finger
• tap screen
• slide finger upwards (for zooming out) or downwards (for zooming in)

Hi, thanks for your feature request.

I know these interactions and yeah, they're pretty cool :D I don't know if OsmDroid (the map framework I use) can do that as well, but I'll look into that. However GeoNotes has zoom buttons which I use for one-handed zooming. You can activate them via: Opening settings menu → activate the "Enable zoom buttons" option. Now two zoom buttons should appear on the bottom side of the map. Hopefully that works for you as well.

Another nice option for zooming would be the use oft the volume up/down buttons of a phone (like OsmAnd has).

That should be pretty easy to implement. I created a separate issue (#72) for that, thanks for the idea.
