How can I display distance to next "point" on a track during navigation?

How can I display the distance to the next waypoint while navigating? It's not about turn-by-turn directions, it's about points I set in the imported track. These are called "waypoints" in the gpsies terminology, but waypoints have a different meaning in locus. The word "stopover" might express it better.

I'm interested in interval training for racing bikes. I plan my training sessions by defining "waypoints" with Gpsies. When driving I would like to know how far it is to the next training session. These sections are very different in length, so I can't work with fixed intervals. Another use case are intermediate targets that show me the distance to the next mountain or the end of a bad road section.

I'm almost certain that Locus can do it, but unfortunately I don't find the function.

Hi Benjamin,

distance to the next waypoint is displayed in the upper left corner box when navigation is on. The distance, however, is measured from the previous turn. If you want just distance between waypoints, you have to switch off navigation commands on turns (settings > navigation > advanced > number of commands > none).

Another option is to use guidance along a route - the guidance bar contains option to display name of the next waypoint (one cell) and distance of the next waypoint (second cell). Again, it displays also direction changes (guidance commands) so turn them off so that only waypoints info is displayed.
