Navigational Waypoints clutter map
Today after breakfast I quickly clicked together a walk on my Android tablet running locus 4.33, which I then shared to my Android smartphone running the same version. We took off and in the car I imported the GPX route only to find my map cluttered with black and white "pedestrians", which on activation indicate to turn left or right, etc.. This had never happened, I had no idea what this was about. But it was painfully obvious that this was entirely unusable. So instead of starting on a nice Sunday walk in the sun I sat in the car for quarter of an hour until I finally managed to get rid of what I later found out to be 126 of those pedestrians. And then fell on the idea to not import the track but just open it on the smartphone. For whatever reason that worked - I could see and follow the track and no "pedestrians" in sight.
Later at home I checked the original track on the tablet. In the Information box I found an entry Navigational Waypoints which I had never noticed and never used. Why was this track as a first after several dozens which I have put together on Locus equipped with these totally superfluous "pedestrians"? I tried the search in the settings but it doesn't know anything about navigational waypoints, so there doesn't seem to be a way to turn them on or off.
I need to solve this problem because otherwise Locus is rendered completely useless for my humble and ordinary purposes.
Thank you for reading.
The same problem 
I would like to add: while the Navigational Waypoints are imported with a specific track, if you delete that track the way points miraculously remain. That behavior to me seems pretty paradoxical.

Hi Stef,
sorry for any inconvenience. This is definitely not a standard behavior of the app. So let's find out why it happened:
"I imported the GPX route only to find my map cluttered with black and white "pedestrians"...
- did you happen to take a screenshot of the situation?
- do you still have the GPX? If yes, could you please send for a test?
- could you please send a screenshot of your GPX export setup?

Hello Michal.
1 sorry, but no I didn't in that situation.
2 I'm attaching the GPX.
3 where would I find the export setup, please?

Hi Stef,
I don't need the export setup screen anymore. You probably forgot to merge the navigation points with the route during import and the points were saved separately to the target folder with the "pedestrian" icon. Next time, when you import a route, please make sure this option is checked in the import dialog:

Well, I did not intentionally do anything different in what is my standard procedure. But actually I don't even have the sub-heading POINTS in my import dialogue. Nothing to merge there.

The "Oberkassel" route was probably either planned with different parameters, excluding the navigation points:
Or, it was exported without them:

Err, I have never seen the menus/ screens that you included above, would not know where to locate them (!), let alone changed anything in them.
I opened the app on the tablet, opened route planner, clicked together a route, clicked share as GPX and shared to an existing Trello card. Opened that on my phone and imported straight away.

Thank you for the explanation, Michal. As I have described I did not touch the routing profile parameters, nor the export parameters. I do not export, but share. I have no idea why there are two ways to send a track somewhere else. But if you go through share you never see the export parameters.
All of this does not explain why all of a sudden a track crafted in the same way as many tracks before behaved differently. I can only assume that with some recent updates an additional option was introduced and set as standard without the user's active choice.

Stef, does the issue always happen now when you use "Share as GPX"?

Sorry, haven't used it since Sunday. I will report back if/when the issue comes up again. Thanks.

Hi Stef,
could you please test the issue with the latest version 4.34.1? Thanks
