Question about the diagrams relating to editing a track

I have a question about the diagrams relating to editing a track.

I recorded a walk. At one point, I took the bus for a short while and then continued on foot.

Using the Track Editor, I can cut out the bus section. The map then initially shows the cut-out section connected by a straight line. If I then insert a pause, the track is displayed on the map exactly as I want it: walking section 1, gap, walking section 2 (see Fig. 1).

The diagram joins the two walking sections together (there is only a tiny gap). The cut-out bus section is ignored. Of course, this usually makes sense. (Fig. 2)

However, I would like the cut-out section to appear in full on the diagram (as it does on the map). As shown in the mock-up in Fig. 3. Is there any way to do this?

Hi,

switch the X axis to "time," and you'll get what you need.

Yes, it works with time, but that´s not what I want. As walking and travelling by bus are at very different speeds, that doesn’t even help me as a workaround.

So with distance it's not possible, right?

Not at the moment. Such an option doesn't have a universal solution. E.g. if you walk 2 km, then travel 20km by bus, then walk 2 km, how do you think such a chart would look like and how would it fit in the track detail panel?

OK, thanks. It was just a question, not a bug report or a change request. I just wanted to know if I’d overlooked that option somewhere. 🙂

Besides, a track like that wouldn’t look any stranger than if I cycled 1 km first, then walked 10 km, and then cycled another 1 km. 😉 Here’s the original chart with the walking section removed and time on the x-axis:
