Larger map link – how/when?

[morten]

Hi,

I’ve been a happy user of the MappPress Pro for ages, but a very common function is still not available in the product  – a link to a larger map/full screen map. It is cumbersome and non-standard to be locked into a pre-defined map-size, and sets the UI/UX back.

More than 10 years ago you confirmed it was on your to-do list: https://mappresspro.com/forums/topic/full-screen-map-button/

When will you enable this simple feature?

Hi Morten,

It’s true, this has been on my to-do list for many years.  It’s near the bottom, since it’s not often requested.  I still tried to implement this several times, but it wasn’t easy: because MapPress supports both Leaflet and Google, and uses a number of custom controls (POI list, search, etc.) the default Google fullscreen control didn’t work.

However, browser support has now improved for the fullscreen API.  So when I saw your note I decided to try again, and I’ve implemented a beautiful fullscreen control.

If you’d like to try it, please contact me by email and I’ll install the new version for you to test.  I’ll need a login for your main site or a test/staging site if you prefer.

Thanks for your patience.
