Pause symbol during record activity - completely pointless

Tap the screen, if you need to do something with it. It will return to its normal state, and it is still functional.

It is a long lasting request which I have done several times already.

Apparantly Garmin thinks that we users a some kind of stupid, not knowing that we don't move.
As for me Garmin doesn't need to 'tell me so' at all.

For me, when not moving I would like to use the map in such case to check the route.
Indeed, as other say, you can touch the screen and the symbol dissapears, however within a flash, the symbol returns and blocks the screen again.

Sometime I feel that Garmin doesn't do tests in the outside while this pause symbol is a ridiculous pain in the ass.
Having requested multiple times and not seen any updates that removed this symbol, for now I feel Garmin is kinda deaf on this subject.

correct, but it returns in a flash! 

All in all, we should be thankful that while driving we don't have a big green triangle displayed in the middle, that we are moving again - because we probably don't notice that either ;-)

Examples where garmin doesn't give a damn about what its customers expect are numerous - you don't have to look far - such as the totally superfluous and unprogrammable "LAP" button on the Edge remote control.

Consider disabling the completely pointless auto-pause.

I think it's good, it notifies me that the device has auto paused. As someone new to garmin, this is useful as colours round the edge of the screen aren't obvious - not to mention that colours aren't great UI design for colour blind people 

Thank you all for your discussion on this thread. We would like to track the feedback on the Pause sign not going away while at pause, Please send me a direct message if you would like to be added as impact.
