Only for sharing - To see better the type of road behind the track line on map
My target. During the preparation of futur Gravel tracks at home, I would like to understantd as much as possible the difficulties of the path.
My problem. The line of track hides "small roads" type like trails, tiertiary, singles. I can not see the type of road and this is anoying.
My way (this way is not new. https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/38042-change-guiding-line-apperiance).
Settings
I change the line style map of the track, to keep only the arrows (pattern), without line.
In order to be practical I set things like that:
- Line style map of the folder are set in my standard style. For me it is coloring mode = slope.
- Tracks are created using style of parent folder.
- On tracks, I set a specific line style: Line off, Black pattern color, Arrows 1, Coloring mode = Plain color.
Check 1, on LoMaps
I edit info/Style on map: uncheck "Use style of the parent folder" and save (twice).
I can see the track (arrows) and the type of road between arrows.
Check 2, on Map overlay
I activate Map overlay and select "Asaam - Satellite Hybrid".
I can see more or less the width of track, between arrows.
A the end, I edit info/Style on map: check "Use style of the parent folder".
What is the suggestion though? I often have the same issue. I sometimes temporarily hide the track or make the width 2px so I can see the surface better. The online BRouter web planner allows the user to press & the hold "M" key to "mute" (hide) the track while the key is pressed. Fantastic feature. Maybe a side panel function button could be designed that only while tapped+held all items are hidden.

I am missing an option with a larger distance between the arrows. There are fewer arrows in the standard navigation line.
An additional arrow where only every 2nd or 3rd arrow is present.
