A button on the screen to fade out /fade in all of the tracks

Plastikbomber shared this idea 3 years ago

When there is a track overlapping the road you can not see what kind of street/road/way/path this is. It is important to know, e.g. when I have got a track and I am searching for the small or unpaved roads with my motorbike. Now it is a little complicated to fade out the track just to have a look and then to show the track again. In my opinion that button would be a great feature.

Thanks!

I have a similar problem. I faded in several thousand MTB trails.

But it takes 10s to hide all, 40s to show all. Therefore, the button should only hide those that are visible on the screen.

When navigating, I still have the standard line. I always try to check the correctness of the path. So I can take notes and correct them later in OSM. But I can't see anything through the navigation line. This should not be forgotten when showing and hiding. You could possibly store a time so that it is displayed again immediately.

At the moment I helped myself like this: I wanted a line style that was transparent in the middle and colored on the outside. So I could see the nature of the path in the middle. But that is not possible at the moment. I currently have a wide semi-transparent line with colored arrows. So I see the way in the places where there is no arrow.

Hi guys,

there already exists a small hidden function for this use-case ... well-hidden :).

Add a button to access "Data manager" or "Tracks manager" directly into the functions panel and then a long click on this button. You should get options with the "Hide tracks" option.

Hope this helps.

Maybe it would be useful to add there also something like this: Deselect all points and tracks ( Clear map ) for instant full cleaning of all points and tracks


Because currently to do this, user needs to get to Data, then i both Points and Track use Deselect All

System for quick show/hide of content on the map definitelly needs "more love", so it is something I would like to focus on deeper than just with a "quick hack". Thanks for understanding.

I've used this earlier in Pro. But it wasn't clear to me that it could also hide the navigation line. Since I've been using LM4 I've forgotten about them. I no longer use a sidebar there and have everything in the menu.

Now I have put it in the right sidebar and made it superimposed. This gives me quick access, but something more is hidden by the card.

For the future, I could imagine so that you can control these via Tasker. Then I can take an external button and keep my hand on the handlebars and don't have to take off my gloves. I'll leave the idea in the back of my mind and suggest it after LM4 is free.

On my part, you can make this proposal as done.

In the next Locus Map 4 version, new "Map screen content" panel will be introduced. Here, a long tap on the points/tracks visibility button allows this missing quick show/hide system for all loaded tracks. Hope this a little bit hidden feature will be useful.
