New maps editing interface

[#1]

by new editing interface, started 27/11/2018

-we should start to type exact term of category to find it. For example for "Corporate Office" if we start to type "Office" system doesn't find suitable category and we should start by "Corporate" to find it. Previous category finder was better and smarter.

-When we use the new interface for map maker ( moving the pin to the right position ) the maps not showing the satalite veiw as in the old version so we can not move the pin to the correct location .

Please put this issue in mind for the future .

Thanks

Hello my dear friend @NABILazeez,

By new editing interface, we should start to type exact term of category to find it. For example for "Corporate Office" if we start to type "Office" system doesn't find suitable category and we should start by "Corporate" to find it. Previous category finder was better and smarter.

I think this new interface for editing still has many bugs and personally I prefer old one @BorrisS

@Amiran

yes my dear exactly as you mentioned but i will give example for @BorrisS to clarify this situation .

hello dear . thanks for your attention 

exactly as @Amiran said

I think this new interface for editing still has many bugs and personally I prefer old one 

fore example 

this places category is a shopping center but this wrong 

so i will edit the place

the previous wrong category ( مركز تسوق ) in arabic so i will change it to  ( متجر مستلزمات التجميل ) which is the correct category of the place 

 

 

 

 

 

as you see i tried to write any keyword from the right category and scroll down to find the category as usual but no way ??? 

but i keep a copy of the most used category in a  Rich Text Document  

 

so i copy the category and paste it 

 

so finally i found it and i made the edit 

what a hard process as you see , sorry for this long message but i hope that my point is clear now 

thanks for your time

Hello @NABILazeez,

Thank you very much for the provided screenshots and detailed information. Furthermore, I would like to thank @Amiran as well, who explained and answered the situation earlier. 

In this case, and if you think that the previous version was better than the current one, you can always provide your opinion using our section Idea Exchange.

@BorrisS

Okay I will thanks.

Thank you for sharing your idea, @NABILazeez. We are going to need some further detail to make sure we are on the same page. How in your opinion this is going to work if the location you want to pin is already occupied? For example it's a business building with different offices on each floor?

I'm agree to restore old interface (at least till completion of new one in lab) because new interface for editing is really sparse and I don't know the reason and the background of this change.

1. We have problem about adding names in other languages rather than English. Although engineers are working to fix.

2. Selecting Category is more difficult than before 

3. Satellite mode is off while repositioning.

4. It takes time to load interface for editing.

5. Selecting the working hours is too difficult and we should select all days separately and one by one!

In fact I see no improvement in new interface except auto detection of empty websites addresses.
