JiGLE labels impossible to read

[Eyecannon]

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but JiGLE can only display all or hide all AP labels, right? Either the zoom needs to go in more, or it should allow you to click on single AP's and display their names only.... they are simply too close together in parts of LA :/ THanks!

If you click on the 'sel' Selecting button, you can then click on a point and see lots of data about it. It also renders it last, and black on a white background, so it is easy to read.

I know about that option, but it makes it quite difficult to find a particular AP, like my own... Perhaps if an additional level of zoom was implimented it might help alot. And I'm pretty sure you have plans to do it, but vector mapping would obviously fix this problem as well, at the expense of bloating the software a bit.

We definately want to make higher resolution available, going to some sort of tiling system since images take up so much memory in java. We probably won't do client side map rendering since the data set is rather large even for a smallish area.

Thanks alot! Can't wait to see what's to come

I meant to post this earlier, but forgot... just in case you hadn't seen the severity of the problem in LA: http://temp.eyecannon.com/jigle.jpg

Yeah, information management is becoming an issue.
