Hide shaping points

[Tim Thompson]

It might be nice to be able to turn/off or filter the shaping points from view - especially in MRA Navigation. If you have to import a route (via GPX or otherwise), you might have to have a fair number of shaping points to faithfully recreate the desired route. However, once the shaping points have done their job, one doesn't necessarily need to see them - especially when navigating.

Hi Tim, colored points can contain information that you can read in Navigation

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master what are oculerend points?

[Nick Carthew]

@Drabslab I think Hans meant to write coloured route points.

[Hans van de Ven MR.MRA]

@Nick-Carthew

Right @Nick-Carthew colored waypoints

Makes sense, but I think it could still be a nice option to hide shaping points anyway, to declutter the screen a bit when navigating. Even nicer would be to have two separate options, like:

• Show/hide shaping points (all)
• Show/hide shaping points with additional info

Or even an option to hide the points (with additional info), but still allow the app to show the info (something like: Attention: interesting thing in 500m, without necessarily showing the point itself on the map).

I already feared that navigation had expanded into the quantum space

I'm aware that waypoints can be colored. However, that's not what I'm after. I would like to be able to make the shaping points disappear. In most cases I don't need to see them while navigating. I would rather not see distance to next shaping point (this can be annoying - especially when you have to have many shaping points whose only purpose is to get the app to faithfully plot the intended route). Instead I would like to only see distance to the next turn or stop. Either make all shaping points visible/invisible as a whole, or maybe - like being able to set their colors - be able to set the visibility of waypoints individually.

I think it would also be helpful the be able to hide the shaping points in the route editors - so that the route display can be decluttered and the important things can better be brought into focus.

I have already suggested this to enable the MRA planner in combination with locking the points. Perhaps this will be included in the new version of MRA navigation?

Thanks. Glad this idea has already been given some visibility. Hope it will come to fruition.

Please ensure that those of us that do like to see the Route Points on a Sat Nav Map or on the coming MRA Navigation Next can still do so.
MRA has always been very good at giving us choices.
Please let each user choose whether they want to see them or not see them including when the route is locked.

@Steve-Lynch

Hi Steve, I suggested it as a visual in the planner, so the points wil be there a visual in Navigation

@Tim-Thompson In the Garmin export V1.2 - all the shaping points are hidden with the exception of a) Starting point b) End point and c) any POI such as fuel or rest stop.

When doing a test simulation on the Garmin Zumo 396, it chokes up on the Via rest stop point with the icon going round in circles. I will have to do a live test on V1.2
