I removed the FAB buttons from the app

Tuesday, November 8, 2022

Up to this point, GPX One utilized what are known as Floating Action Buttons, commonly known as FAB buttons These switches regulate 2D/3D view, GPS on/off, and whether or not the camera can follow.

Some testers noted that these buttons were confusing and unclear. As a result, I replaced the FAB buttons with unambiguous messaging:

These messages give a clear message about what is going on. The optional action button has a clear label describing the action.
