More precisely ;)

If I tap on a (single color) track on the map, there are arrowheads indicating the track's direction. Arrows are missing in multicolor (eg altitude) tracks.

Ah that is better, thanks!


I remember this request was already posted somewhere. Problem here is, that track colored by any parameter is drawn in differently.


In case of simply colored track, same object is used for track and for arrows. So it is quite easy to draw these arrows. Anyway in these advanced colored tracks, there will be need for duplicate object, which means that locus will needs to prepare two tracks instead of one. Which really slow down drawing and increase battery consumption.


I do not want to close this topic, because idea is possible. But negatives are really big in this case. So if above is clear and number of votes will be higher, then I should make it work.

Thanks Menion! Understand the drawbacks. I absolutely agree with you not to sacrifice speed and battery for this feature!
