Can I send it to you per email?

recording problem: try to switch Settings > GPS & sensors > Google services assisted location. You probably have this enabled (default), but it starts to cause a problems on some devices so give it a try and disable it.
Already tried that during the tour, pretty sure it didn't make a difference, but I'll play around with it some more...

A few thoughts and suggestions regarding the diagram in the track info panel:

As Tapio already mentioned, it is difficult to display both the map and the diagram simultaneously in a meaningful way. Currently, there are only three options:

  • Map with track only
  • Map and track info panel approximately 50:50 on the display, with the diagram too far down
  • Track info panel covers the entire display, map is not visible.

Option 2 is particularly bad if you have activated the track gallery and/or the track title spans several lines. Then you can't see anything of the chart. Perhaps the track info panel could be made scrollable or allow more vertical positions so that the map and chart can be viewed simultaneously.
See image 1.


As I mentioned earlier, the chart is not always useful or necessary, and sometimes it just takes up space. The chart settings should include an additional option to "Hide chart".

The new chart settings (axes, units, etc.) are currently applied globally. They are applied to all tracks in all folders. In my opinion, this is not useful.

I would like to be able to choose how they apply:

  • Only for the current track
  • For the folder
  • For all tracks

In principle, this would be similar to the line colour settings. This could be included in the corresponding menus, see image 2.

These are just ideas and suggestions that I would like to put up for discussion.

It's great for me. But I rarely need the height diagram. Images are more important to me. But still, here's an idea. Most sections have a small arrow on the right for more details. There could also be one on the left for less or hide. Only the heading for the section remains and the small arrow to show it again.

Another idea is to add a small option, arrow, or ? to the height diagram to hide the other information. That way, I can view only the map and the diagram. Clicking on it again makes everything visible again. However, everything is visible again the next time it is opened.

The new route detail chart is great. I would also like to add a button to it: "show only graph and map". So that I can then move my finger along the graph to follow the map and check, for example, data about the slope of the track or the hills.

@WildWortWechsel
give a try to the next version tomorrow and if there are still any problems, the best is to send it over a personal message here at the forum (small icon under my photo).

Thanks to all for the tips and wishes regarding the chart. I see it similar in many ways ... but not yet. I need to first invest a little more time to track detail, to make it more flexible. Customisation is planned, but as a second step.

As I wrote before: if the new chart works correctly, I'll try to adapt it in the rest of the app.

What seems overdue to me since years: when I tap on a track, the overview window pops up, you can slide maniacally through the graph, the map following lightning fast - but you never know the point in time. To get there you have to start a tedious clicking. Easy fix for Menion, I suppose :-)

@michaelbechtold - worse for a recorded track, and wanting to know clock-time of an arbitrary point - tell me if a quicker way - library > track > make visible > tap desired point on map > tap "i" icon (bottom LHS) > drag up - note created timestamp. Not even for first or last point is there a quick statistic or method. Has been discussed before, maybe a few years ago with configurable track statistics, but it never made it to public.
