Location of photo of the day

Photo

Scene on following this photo of the day link:
https://twitter.com/cyclestreets/status/1342017166267314178?s=21

Map

Closing the overlay shows map around current location, not County Down where the photo is located .

Where is it?

One reason users follow Photo of the day from Twitter, or follow a photo map location link more generally is to determine where the image is located.

Suggestion

Turn off “use current location mode” when following location link, allowing user to close overlay and explore area of photo.

Yes, this is missing a map centring upon popup, with a disabling of the current location just before that.

This will require a fix in the apiCallId handling part of the layerviewer library, which we trigger as a result of this declaration:

The fix is basically to add at
https://github.com/cyclestreets/Mapboxgljs.LayerViewer/blob/master/src/layerviewer.js#L2342

• Disable geolocation
• Move map to the lat/lon in features[0]

It occurs to me that during the add photo procedure using the mobileweb one of the screens shows the location of the photo alreay - when prompting to add details. In the screenshot I've scrolled the marker into view. So could this screen be re-purposed in some way?

No, that would need a lot of changes. Don’t forget the flip side of the pop up too.

Digging into that UI would still require the same fix, which is identified above.
