Visibility for navigation route on/off

DonManfredo shared this question 10 years ago

After using the navigation feature and switching off the navigation the route is still marked on the map. How can I switch the visibility of the route off ? I think best would be a button in navigation menu for making it invisible.

tap the route


tap the "tools"-symbol


tap "hide"

That works indeed. But I think a button would really help, because it is not so easy to tap the route to mark it.


And not intuitive when I started with locus it took me some time to find out. There is an icon to hide "temporary objects" this should do the job.

Unfortunately it doesn`t !


I also find it rather unpleasant that it is necessary to tidy up the complicated way every time car navigation is finished. Moreover, the used route "survives" a Locus restart (even if it was marked as temporary).


I think "automatic cleanup" at the end of car navigation may not be difficult to program - that is exactly what Locus does every time it recalculates the route.

Hi Celda,


navigation was a disregarded area in the last ~18 month.


Menion promised to work on navigation topic as a whole for the next release. Let`s wait for that.

I can confirm that in next release, if navigation track will be created as temporary, after you stop navigation, track will be deleted.


It`s already created a possibility to reuse previous tracks, so you`ll be able to continue in previous track if you`ll need

Great !


However, I have got one more little idea I realised today when using the Locus car navigation:


At the moment when I leave the calculated route (it makes no difference whether by mistake or on purpose) Locus starts recalculation. It is obvious it is going to take some time but what is unpleasent at the moment is the fact I cannot see the map and my position in it because of the window announcing a new route is being calculated ...


I would prefer another way of announcement (e.g. a blinking icon in the corner) giving me continuous infotmation about my position in the map.
