Improving GPX Track Visualization #803

Open devinmarkley opened 1 month ago

devinmarkley commented 1 month ago

We've noticed that all GPX tracks are currently displayed in red, making it challenging to differentiate between multiple overlapping GPX data sources.

This becomes a problem when trying to drive a GPX route while recording a GPX track so we know where we've been.

Would it be possible to introduce color customization options for imported GPX tracks? Offering default color schemes, like blue for planned and green for recorded tracks, could improve readability. Additionally, allowing users to select colors for both track types manually would increase accessibility for some users.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to any feedback or suggestions you may have.

Tracks in progress are red, while previously recorded (or imported) tracks are pink. If you want to import a route you can use the new Data Overlays feature to import it as a GeoJSON, and it is be in a third color (cyan).

My main concern with adding additional customization is complicating the UI. I’m open to suggestions.

I completely understand not wanting to clutter things up.

Can the color difference between the in-progress and previously recorded tracks be more significant?

Thanks for the quick response!
