Hi everyone

i works with the meridian editor

in the placemark's options, i can see a "landmark" option (see attached picture)

the documentation doesn't tell anything about what a "landmark" is

does anyone know this feature ?

Best regards

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

"LANDMARK" is an old property that was added to placemarks.  It is currently deprecated and not recommended for use any more.  It will be removed from a future version of the editor.

Please use the LABEL property to name an area like "Engineering Dept" or "Lobby".

Thank you Tim

Can we say that "landmark" option for placemark is similar to "label" option for area ?

Could you please post screen capture that shows each option ?

Best regards

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

I updated my response from yesterday.  Can you explain what you are trying to accomplish and I will recommend the best approach?  Thanks!

Best regards,

Tim

Hello Tim

it appears there is an anomaly in the way the android appviewer application displays the maps.

Here are two screen capture for the same map.

1) on an iphone

The first one is on an iphone device and it is the result i want FOR THIS ZOOM LEVEL

You can see only the

 - the "landmark" placemark (Restaurants)

  - the "label" area (Arènes)

2) on an android (samsung galaxy)

You can't see the landmark and the label

you see lower level placemark instead

Hi Pierre,

Yes, sometimes there are differences between the two platforms.  We try to keep the experience the same but the platforms themselves are simply not the same.

Our team has filed a support ticket for you.

Hi Pierre,

Our Meridian team has taken a look at your screenshots and determined that this isn't a bug. It's expected behavior for different devices to display the map differently. Even the same device with different resolution settings would display things differently.

I hope this helps address your concerns.

Cheers,

Shawn
