Allow track style during navigation

This suggestion is also related to this topic.


As an alternative to the limited global navigation route style, where only color & width can be specified:

a0c699c9f6958e7dbd6ec564302febdc

allow the original track style (note may be specific to track or group or global) to be displayed instead. Using the track style would allow more sophisticated options like mode (eg. altitude/ gradient) and icon (eg. arrows) to be displayed for the navigated route:

Or to ask another way: Why allow a track style to be defined, but then not allow that style to be displaying while navigating?

If actual style with arrow indication keeps available, +vote.

Thou I requested preserving of track style on the route somewhere also this brings certain drawbacks. Following part of route is not visually distinguished from passed part and only location icon identifies your real position on the track which is bit of problem on the open sunlight. On the other side the dynamic track colouring is lacking during navigation so I'd suggest solution eliminating both drawbacks.

As a workaround I use dashboard field with attitude graph. BTW. how is the difference between Graph 1 and Graph 2? I compared them side by side and couldn't find a difference.

Yes totally agree. I had assumed that even displaying track style, there would still need to be difference between ahead and behind part of track. For example the ahead part may be the "proper" track style, and the behind part may be more transparent/ smaller icon etc.


>Graph 1 and Graph 2?

sorry - which is graph 1 and 2?

These items for dashboard are there only to allow you place two charts on one dashboard, nothing more. Because every item may be in dashboard only once.

I totally would love this see this too. Coloring is available for tracks but when navigating it is not used. I submitted a ticket for that. Let's see.

I'd love this too. Steepness information in tracks is so damn useful!

Can I adjust the track separately before and after the navigation?

By "before" I mean the wide range of the track. And by "after" I mean the narrow part of the track. Where the navigation is already over.

I would like to make the area "afterwards" very thin and transparent. So I see the nature of the path or trail. Then I can maintain errors or missing properties in OSM.

Nope sorry. A quite complicated task that is possible only for "Base" style where the app does a lot of math before drawing.
