Update first map download message about organicmaps HOT 9 OPEN

Here's an example on that small screen, without increasing the width of the message.

from organicmaps.

Is it for iOS? Is it about the dialog that is seen after a user has:

1. Enabled location permission.
2. Location was found and zoomed in.
3. On WiFi, the zoomed in map starts to download automatically. On cellular there is a download button

?

When and how the clarifying text should be displayed? It should not require any additional actions from a user. What is the proposed UI/UX?

from organicmaps.

This is a simple addition of text to an existing message, nothing else changes. The current map download message has no explanation, this text explains why a download is needed. This is for both iOS and Android.

1. Will it fit on the screen of smaller/older devices?
2. Will the white dialog's background cover all of the map space? Now the map is visible/usable around it.
3. Will it be always displayed, even after the first launch, on each zoom-in to the non-downloaded country?

Will it fit on the screen of smaller/older devices?

As seen on the screenshot, there is more than enough space for all screen sizes. The current message is very small, the new text will make it bigger but still plenty of space.

Will the white dialog's background cover all of the map space? Now the map is visible/usable around it.

This scenario is only for when zero maps have been downloaded, there are no maps at this point, and when the dialog appears, the background area where the map would be turns a baige grey color, and can't be moved. Not clear what this question is referring to.

Will it be always displayed, even after the first launch, on each zoom-in to the non-downloaded country?

This is for when zero maps are downloaded, no matter if this is the first launch of the app or not. This is about providing information to people about how to get started with the app. It's likely that today when people after downloading the app, first open the app, and they are told to download something else without any explanation, so they just uninstall the app.

Not every screen is big, and font size may be also big. The size of the background is likely hard-coded and it may be not easy to automatically resize it for every translation (a French or a German one will take more space, for example).
There are screens smaller than in this screenshot:

Probably no need to auto-resize, just pick one size that fits all languages and if there is extra white space for some languages, no worries.

And the text can be made a bit shorter/tighter.

This text is not fit if users increase size police.
Here an example with max size police (on phone with big screen)

@Jean-BaptisteC based on your screenshot there is currently a problem with increased size font already today. So there needs to be a decision about when the entire app will start supporting these large fonts (not just the Map Download dialogue). Maybe this particular issue is the right time to start taking on this work, or maybe that scope is too large right now and we can keep this issue's scope narrow to address just the informational part.
