Option to show/hide traveled/untraveled segments in Mapview #771

This could be a couple of toggles.

I suppose the most versatile would be to have separate three-state controls for traveled and untraveled segments, where the three states are off, translucent, and opaque.

I don't like the idea. It would make it complicated.

It's just that the translucent lines, while useful sometimes, also obscure the underlying map to some extent, making it more difficult to read route numbers and place names. I'd like to be able to choose whether to see those at all.

I think that we already have everything we need except of a "Disable" option: Highlight All, Highlight Traveled, Highlight Untraveled, Highlight None, Disable Highlighting,

Either the traveled lines or the untraveled lines overlap route numbers. If you want to see them, we could just select Disable Highlighting. With just one option (ond drop-down menu). Having more than one element to change, the settings would be awful.

I frequently change from "Highlight Traveled" to "Highlight Untraveled" when planning (or mapping) road trips, and I need "Highlight All" and "Highlight None" for hwy data maintenance. I need to quickly change. And yes, having an "Disable Highlighting" to remove (and reset again) all lines with just one click would be great!
