I have just understood the meaning of the info in the lower left panel and I would like to make a suggestion for improvement.
1-the first bubble gives the time, the hour the distance before the next waypoint
2-the second bubble gives the time, the time the distance before the next viapoint
3- the third bubble gives the time, the time the distance before the arrival
it would be necessary to add in the bubble a symbol of departure and a symbol of arrival, it would be great

@Calibos Thanks for the idea
Another user also suggested it but myself (and others) are quite happy with the default being no icon for two main reasons:- No icons = default = end of route
- Less icons = less clutter
Adding such an icon for sure has little impact and yes it's small but we shouldn't just keep adding icons
But I do completely understand the suggestion.

I think it is not a bad idea. The app indicates 2 of three functions. Likely having a these extra icons it makes the intuitive assumption that it can be toggled bigger. But I understand the lower priority. -

I hate to disagree with you, but I would also upvote the start/finish symbols in the current "no symbol" view.

In fact, I only use MRA navigation when driving a motorcycle and I always prefer a symbol to a reflection on a quick glance in the navigation screen. But I understand your vision No icon = par default = end of route But there is also the start which is represented as a Viapoint identical to the others, I could possibly change its color...but a small symbol...honestly
Let's say it's a detail but every little detail makes an application that comes a little closer to perfection

@Corjan-Meijerink I’m not bothered about extra symbols.
RP 1 is the start point and I change the name of the last RP to The End which I see on screen.
K.I.S.S.

However, if this is implemented, for consistency, the icons should remain similar to the Icons used for Route-Tracks as shown below, IMO.

@Con-Hennekens
Makes sense to use it methinks. -
