Zezo forum: HDG entre 2 points

HDG entre 2 points

Post by K5B5 | 2020-11-11 | 11:02:21

Bonjour,
Peut on savoir le HDG entre 2 points diff�rents ? Par exemple savoir l'angle a pr�voir entre le point de passage pr�vu a 16h et celui a 20h ? Pour planifier des changements...
Merci

Hi,
Yes, same here: it would be great to be able to display tracks between two arbitrary points, or at least at a future time.
This way, we can smooth our routes during nights, for instance.

(Translation of K5B5 post: Hello, can we have the HDG between two different points? For example to know the angle to plan between the 16:00 planed point and the one at 20:00? In order to plan changes... Thanks)

This question has been asked roughly a dozen times. Cvetan (Zezo) has answered it several times. He isn't going to do it.

And he has good reasons to do so.
I actually wrote my own router, and it can do many of these things - set arbitrary start time, anchor track tool to any route point, highlight isochrone corresponding to the selected time.
When I need a routing urgently, however, it frequently breaks. Cvetan's router always works. That quality can not be overestimated, imo.

It's not like I'm not going to do it, but supporting this site is weird. Now and then VR fuck up so badly that they lose almost all their users. Then there are no players who'd use the new features.

Then they change the game protocol and we have a lot of work implementing the new things.

And then some event like this happens, with 10k users, a lot of support emails, servers overloading etc, and it's not the time to add new features.

If there were 5k users all the time I'd charge $10/year, quit my day job and dedicate my time to the router. Sadly, most of the time no more than 1000 people are interested and that just ain't sustainable.

It's VG time Cvetan :)
It's our olympics, every 4 years.

Good job man.

Np Cvetan,
Maybe we could help you by extending the Q&A to build a complete FAQ, and answer once and for all these questions.
Many people are enjoying this site for free (hope you get a fair retribution from the ads)... don't hesitate to ask for free help.

Ads are fine during big events like this one. Could possibly make a living of that too if it was permanent and the donations help too.

Problem is that such event run only 10% of the time. In the other 90% ads mostly pay the bills.

For a FAQ I see two ways

1) Text document with links to forum posts by subjects.
2) Wiki (which can be copy-pasted from the forum posts in 1) by few pople.

I vote 2) wiki, for info accessibility

@YourMomSA your post (http://zezo.org/forum.pl?tid=7877)is extraordinary :+1: -- and that's about 90% of what the wiki should tell.
As you wrote, it just misses the tracks (took me some time to understand what the green and red lines were, all the more as I'm colour-blind) and other zezo's features.
I would also add in the zezo mechanics section a "Evolution requests" to tell that it's not that easy to add features, list all common requests (with current status), with a permalink that I guess will be used a lot in the forum ;)

Maybe also add a pop-up during new topic creation, with a link to the FAQ, asking people to check the FAQ before posting a topic that might be covered there.
