Track highlight color

Robin Kirmeier shared this idea 11 years ago
Completed

Please add an option to not change track color when your location is directly over it. This really sucks when using off-road in a vehicle when you go on and off the track. In day light it`s already hard enough to see the screen so I like to set the track color to stand out but then if I am on of off the track it hard to see one way or another. Not asking for a lot here just an option to disable the highlight/color change as its VERY frustrating that way it works now.

Its not really a "problem" in Locus. Its a problem for you :)


So a Locus developer has now changed this topic to an idea.


To illustrate your "Problem":


btw.


originally thread from forum: http://forum.locusmap.eu/viewtopic.ph...


And what do you like to see instead of this?


Should only the direction arrows appear? (in inverted color)

I think that just the direction arrows would be fine. I`m not really picky about it other then the current solution does not work well. Thanks!

Hi guys,


I changed this topic on "idea" because current system is not a bug, it`s an intent.


Anyway do you mean by this idea, that it`s problem only when you have enabled centering and GPS and your current centered GPS location goes over some track. Then this track is highlighted. Right? Or you want to disable this highlight for every actions? Even as gynta has on screenshot, moving map center over track?

Personally I would like an option to disable the highlighting (color change) for all actions but most importantly for auto centering. I would imagine the current way as the default and a setting to disable the highlighting.


Thanks!

OK, after some thinking ...


in next 2.9.3 version will be new parameter in config file http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manu...


map_items_track_highlight_enabled


if set to , selected track will have only arrows in inverted color. Track itself and it`s outline (new feature - possibility to define color of outline) will remain in same color! Is this ok for you?

This will work great and I really appreciate the effort to address this request!


Thank you!
