Did you know that a long tap switches the full-screen mode on/off, and a single (normal) tap allows you to select anything on the map, including roads?

@organicmaps :thonking: no! In fact I've had to restart the app a few times bc I did not know how to exit full screen

pieq

@organicmaps haaaaaa that's why sometimes all the controls disappear!!! 🤣

Ondřej Machů

@organicmaps Yeah, I did. But I had to figure it out myself - it's not very intuitive

@organicmaps Should be in the FAQ section and/or introduced on first launch tutorial.

@organicmaps Got it. I had to restart the app to exit full screen before😅

@organicmaps Didn‘t know, there is a „Fullscreen“. I named it UI on/off as I found it by chance.

Soso

@organicmaps oh ! I got stuck multiple times in the full screen mode and did not understand how to get back the routing/bookmark options. Good to know!

@organicmaps Not until now. But I've spent a long time stuck in full screen repeatedly pressing things until it eventually comes out of full screen. Never worked out what was going on.

@organicmaps Documentation. So important. Didn‘t know.

@organicmaps I did not.

"full-screen" is a weird name for a mode without control elements, when OM already covers my full screen in non-"full-screen" mode.

@organicmaps +1 for team “it’s not obvious” and I had to restart the app multiple times until I read by chance why and how to get the controls back on screen.
I love OM but this is really a design failure from my point of view.

@organicmaps
Oh, thanks, probably that is why I sometimes magically got full-screen mode.
