Change Details

Is it possible to determine the default zoom level of the Nearby map view so that it is shown at the most zoomed in level where there are X number of articles? So for example, for an area dense with relevant content like [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan | Manhattan, New York ]], the default zoom level would be significantly narrower than that of [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagga_Wagga | Wagga Wagga ]] in Australia. Related to {T114066}.

==== Problem The Android app's Nearby feature always defaults to a specific zoom level regardless of the amount of relevant content within a particular view, so users may miss seeing interesting content (relatively) nearby. ==== Proposed solution As per iOS (see T130889), enable a "smart" way to set zoom level of the Nearby map view so that it is shown at the most zoomed in level where there are at least X articles available. So for example, for an area dense with relevant content like [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan | Manhattan, New York ]], the default zoom level would be significantly narrower than that of [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagga_Wagga | Wagga Wagga ]] in Australia. (Related to {T114066}) For areas that have dense levels of content, enable **pin clusters**. That is, pins that are within 16dp of each other are combined into a pin cluster. The number on the pin cluster and its size represents the number of pins within a cluster.
