showing km symbols

[wolfgang61]

when you introduced that option, you showed one symbol per km when zooming in.



Later you changed that such that the minimal distance between 2 points is 5km.



Now I mostly cannot see any point at all because I would have to zoom out.



My wish would be:



- Ensure that always at least one such symbol is visible.

- if the distance between current position and that symbol is greater than 1km, make sure that at least 2 symbols are shown, one before and one after the current position



Side remark: Showing km values 1000km or more does not work very well. If I remember correctly, the first digit is suppressed.

One more thing: The settings say



Draw a Waypoint each distance unit in active route.



which is wrong - that would mean one waypoint for every km for all zoom levels

Hi Wolfgang,

the tracks, where you see the  km symbols only every 5 or maybe 25 km, are these tracks longer than 100km?



I noticed the same as you, but i believe with tracks shorter than 100km, i see the symbol every km, in an appropriate zoomlevel.

You are right, 100km seems to be a limit. I tried a shorter track and I observed the same as you.



But I am not going faster on longer tracks, so removing that limit would certainly help me.



I believe that limit is there for not having too many km symbols. But there must be other

ways to limit them, maybe depending only on the current scale
