Hi all,

great that we have the discussion.
I really do not want to make the approach we have right now a bad one.
I see a lot of great things happen to the app from a ux point of view.
But I also think that the discussion popped up at exactly the right time
because it had to: With trying to add all the great accessibility
features to all the places we had them it started to become overloaded.

I really like your approach to that new layout nik. But not in total:
You are right by not trying to put everything in the header and the pop
up frees us from an almost empty route page. Great!
About the arrangement I can understand you, Marcos: the settings do not
really fit to the other actions. On that I would have the following
suggestion:
keep the 4 slots: search, menu, follow visible and fullscreen, settings
in the list as they will not be used that often.

When I stated to remove the entire route page, my only concern was the
one you, marcos, came up with. Also great!
One very nice feature is the access to nearby on destination level.
Cause: If you are driving, you might to decide finding something nearby
the destination. But the approach to then have to zoom out and get the
map to show the destination is not driver friendly!
So, my suggestion on that would be:
Use the pop up you, nik, designed because it perfectly integrates into
the new design approach. But then with the icons:

favorites, coordinates if no route is active.

If a route is active:
favorites, coordinates, "destination", cancel route.
All the other nearby cases are covered by the map itself.
If you click on destination, the icons in the pop up are changed to
"nearby destination" and "share destination".

All the other share states are covered.

Concerning the search page: nik, your implementation is great. It's just
that minor thing that it takes one click too much to get the necessary
action. Great that you see it. I would call that critical and would set
it to high.
It would be great if you would add this.

Concerning releasing asap:
I see it critical that we came up with that discussion and would
strongly recommend to clarify this before releasing, although we have
all those great things the world has to see as soon as possible :-)
It's not about being in a hurry.
I just think, that we will get all this discussion by the users anyway.
They will find the same things we found! So i suggest to integrate all
the improvements we can get on ux and keep behind the door until WE are
satisfied with it. All the base is there and it's not a big deal to play
with different action positions. It's just about some days to paly
around and test.

Best Joerg
