We better think about creating a new handling now with te context changes we put in r2.2, rather than changing again later."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/osmandapp/Osmand/issues/comments/159639823","html_url":"https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand/issues/1946#issuecomment-159639823","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/osmandapp/Osmand/issues/1946","id":159639823,"user":{"login":"sonora","id":845735,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/845735?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sonora","html_url":"https://github.com/sonora","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sonora/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sonora/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sonora/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sonora/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sonora/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sonora/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sonora/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sonora/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sonora/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-25T15:24:24Z","updated_at":"2015-11-25T15:24:24Z","body":"So why not use short-tap for _both_ scenarios?   I.e., if there is no POI,\ndestination. etc. in the area tapped , we immediately show the precise\nposition context bubble?  And if a user mis-tapped slightly, which happens\noften, a correction by a subsequent tap can be made much faster!\n\nI feel like the long-tap is an unwanted delay, serving no purpose?\n\n(Of course, if there is also ad POI, destination, etc. in the immediate\nvicinity taped, we would pop-up the multi-selection menu, like we do today\nalready if not one but several several named POIs are in the tap area.)\n\nOn Wed, Nov 25, 2015 at 12:38 PM, Josef Kufner <notifications@github.com>\nwrote:\n\n> @vshcherb <https://github.com/vshcherb> I aggree with this.
