I use the map rotation function very rarely and in these few cases I activate the function with a preset.
So I don't really need the map rotation button (small red arrow next to the map centering button). It's more of a nuisance because I keep touching it accidentally and unintentionally activate the rotation.
Even as a dual centering button, this happens again and again and annoys me.
So it would be nice if you could disable the map rotation button completely.
(I often need the map centering button, however. Unfortunately, the two functions are linked. )
Do you use it when hiking or cycling? When cycling, you could work with a remote control.
You can hide it. Go to the expert settings. Disable dual centering button. Now the arrow is gone. To turn off centering, simply move the map.
@freischneider: I know all that.
I would like to have the map centering button without the red arrow. Unfortunately, you can only hide both together.
In my case, the red arrow above centering is not present. In any case, if you proceed as described.
I use the dual centering button. The red arrow is hidden. But when you touch the button, the red arrow appears and the rotation is activated. Since a long click deactivates the "Hold map centre" function, I often activate the map rotation by mistake because I click too short.
When I deactivate the dual centring button, the red arrow is always there.
Hmm, interesting problem. Anyway, I do not see a simple solution, sorry.
Disabling the rotation button even if rotation is active, is quite risky as you remain depending on the preset. If the biggest problem is too short click when toggling "hold map center", then just hold longer :). I've at least added a haptic feedback (vibration) as confirmation of this long-click action.
I know, the easiest thing would be to always click precisely and focussed ;)
Perhaps you could completely deactivate the map rotation in the settings under "Map screen" -> "Simple multi-touch" so that no red arrow is displayed in this case.
In my opinion, this can also be deactivated in the dashboards. In those rare cases where I want the rotation, I can activate the setting.
But if it's too complicated, no problem. It would be a "nice to have" for me.
