One big unpleasant feature on "animated" maps is the fact that the map slides until the node is supposedly visible on display. There are several troubles with this:
1. When one has lots of nodes, it is hard to figure where the node really is.
2. Under certain conditions, the node may not be really visible, so one has to move "a bit" the map to find it.
3. Under situations when you have a chain-reaction of alerts, maps start to behave wildly, without too much help for the user. This is quite annoying if nodes only appear "over the corner".
There are also bugs that usually occur on a too repeating sequence of alerts. The map starts to crawl slowly and is unstoppable.
I have to note that we don't have most of the problems shown here. We rewrote that piece of code to achieve the objective of centering the map over the current alert. We sent this piece of code, through e-mail, to Nagvis but, till now, it does things the old way. Really I don't know why it was refused, we never got a reply. I understand that that piece may be too ugly and authors have better ideas in mind. Maybe we just didn't use the proper channel to send the changes. But, the way "vanilla" Nagvis moves maps now is totally useless for us. With more than 1000 nodes and 3000 services, just "sliding to make it visible" is not an answer.

How the supporting system works
You as a supporter of a feature specify one or several things you like to give to the solver for getting the feature request solved. It can be for example a bunch of coins but some developers migth also be happy about some beer donations ;-).
Posting your donation to a feature is seen as a willigness to support this feature. It is no binding offer. Once the feature gets targeted to be solved, we will contact you with more details.
