Autozoom. When slowing down/going slow, zoom to the streets closer. When going faster, zoom out to see more streets around.

Option to edit the suggested route. Sometimes local knowledge, and obvious alternative road give prefered routes.

Got to say I love the idea of Autozoom suggested by Camerio10.

A much higher contrast route line on the map. I find that in bright sunlight I can't always tell which is the route and which is a major road. (and yes, I have changed the colour sceme, and I can't get one that works in all conditions)

Via Points. so you can plan a single route taking in a number of stopping places.

Having come from a Garmin Emap mapping unit

An odometer /trip computer seems very useful when tracking your total mileage for the week or trying to explain to your boss how long you stopped for in traffic,

It would be nice to know the following info in a single screen and example

Distance : 60 miles
Stopped Time : 2 min
Moving Average : 50 mph
Moving Time : 58min
Overall average 50 mph
Total Time : 60min

Max speed :90mph Odometer : 400miles

The last section indicating the max speed ever achieved and the total mile recorded before reset.

With option to reset max speed or odometer or trip.
Thumbs Up

1) Better spoke instructions.

2) More route customization choices, e.g. fewest turns, permanent avoid, prefered roads (ability to hav routing algorythm use specified roads when a route intersects one of these roads).

3) Ability to specofy a traffic jam and have Mapopolis avoid the road for the current trip.

3) Better routing algorythm. Some routing yeilds odd routes.

I hope you put all the features available in mapopolis as menu items as well. I'd like to use button mappers to map buttons as macro so that I can use more than one function for each hardware button. "Voiced Status Update", for example, is not available as menu and I could not record as macro for this feature.

Thanks.

I LOVE Mapopolis, but one pet peeve I've had for a long time: the way it displays city/town names makes no sense. Basically it seems to treat all city/town names, no matter what the size, in the same way. Thus, if you zoom out to a larger zoom level in say, California, instead of seeing Los Angeles, San Diego, Anaheim, San Francisco, Sacramento, etc., you see all sorts of random tiny little towns crammed on top of each other, often obscuring important map features. Mapopolis does a great job of showing just the relevant major roads and streets at a given zoom level, but cities it treats somewhat randomly. What's worse, sometimes even in an apparently open area with a major town, no town name at all is displayed? Also, city/town names that are displays seem to vary randomly as you scroll.

The algorithm should be revamped so larger cities are displayed preferentially, and at larger zoom levels, smaller cities simply aren't displayed at all. In any event a better algorithm for displaying city names is really essential for this feature to be of any use at all.

I'm fairly new to Mapopolis, but have managed to add POI speed camera locations using the database and POI Edit / POI Converter.

One thing I haven't been able to do is add new .bmp files, so that new POI categories show up differently on the maps. I assume this isn't possible at the moment as POI Edit had a pre-determined library of icons.

I don't think you can change the icons - those are hard coded in Mapopolis (POIEdit has no share in this I think)
