Small shaping points option

[devemux86]

It would make sense (option) to show the shaping points as mini black dots.
The still visible points so hardly disturb the map display.

We could include a setting for "Small shaping points":

This route with added shaping points every 5 km looks

with shaping points:

with dots (here in route color):

So I think you'll get a "black route" in this case.

@WolfgangZ42 We can improve the points after the option is released, based on everyone's feedback.

[devemux86]

@DolomitesTom It will be an extra option. Users can enable it if they need it.

Wait > see > test > report (beta).
Example red track 180km lenght by 8 dp trackwidth.
Shown with 1 km distance black shaping dots.

After test feedback eventually even a very small mini dot of 1 dp may be prefered ?

In the example above by Emux a (vector icon) black circle dot with a small white outer ring.

Advantage: The shaping points remain detectable even with darker or a black colored tracks.

Having "an option" would be very useful as I often find myself wanting to swap "ShapingPoint 43 and 47", so being able to see them (at a glance) before loading the Waypoints List makes for an easier workflow.

Also, because Cruiser isn't "road aware" when placing them, you don't get a useful name like "Calle Grande" or "A123" so being able to identify them between map and list would be extremely beneficial, ie: "ShapingPoint 127" - where might that be, "Disco Heaven"?! 🕺

But I understand the clarity aspect of making the icons smaller for those who want that.

For me it's no problem with the shaping points with numbers, they don't bother me when navigating.
The numbers can be quite useful for identifying.

Only when I want to see the entire route and zoom out do I only see these numbers and not the actual route.

Just to clarify what exactly prompted the suggestion.

So just because of this, this alternative was requested.
