Tracks / Routes

Hi,
Excellent application - Thank You!
Could you please give the option to view / hide "push pin" icons on a route or track? If the route has many points it becomes hidden under all the push pin icons.
Thanks, Pete

Hi Pete,

In application settings, you can select 'No icons'. It will display dots instead of icons. I think this is what you are looking for.

I think, that this is a good idea. I have a lot of tracks in different formats (mostly ozi plt format).

When I convert them (with gpsbabel) to kml or gpx every track point is converted into a waypoint such that every point appears twice: as a waypoint and also as a track point. Since track points are very dense, the graphical representation in oruxmaps looks quite horrible. Disabling icons helps a little bit, but the points still are way too thick. I help myself by now with a kml postprocessor, deleting the waypoints in the kml file. If oruxmaps could suppress the waypoint rendering and just display a spline those tracks would look much better.

Hi, MicJ;

I think that you can edit the file, and delete <wpt> section before uploading to oruxmaps folder.

I like the idea to hide a waypoint depending on the zoom-level, e.g. if the scale of the map is more then 20 km (see the bar on the left bottom side), the name of the waypoint is not usefull anymore for me. Maybe it could be an idea, to suppress the name and only show a dot for the waypoint. By zooming into more details, the waypoint-name could be fading in again.
