I've made my first set of Auto View (Zoom) improvements. Please see: http://github.com/rnorris/viking/tree/AutoZoom Here on opening GPX files it zooms out to the full layer extent* Options have been added to the Layer's menus to zoom to view the layer / individual track / all waypoints. NB if in the current zoom level, it can cover the view - then it does not attempt to zoom in to find the 'best' zoom level. Possible improvements can be: . Set the view upon getting info from a GPS. - I'm not quite sure ATM, how to feedback the TrackWaypoint layer created from the babel / acquire thread stage. - Possibly make this behaviour optional, but I don't see why one would *not* want to see the data just acquired! . If this feature is deemed really useful, add an icon in toolbar for layer auto view, [maybe GTK_STOCK_ZOOM_FIT] . Find best fit zoom mode (i.e. view may zoom in as well). *I don't think viking should guess whether tracks or waypoints are more important, and in the case above it would center on the track in a zoom level that encompasses that track - since that is the last one processed. HTH. Be Seeing You - Rob.
