I agree. The arrows might be good for some people in some situations but I'd want an option to get rid of them. They look awful and really detract from the navigation page. Hopefully Garmin & Co will make the arrows optional.

Added directional arrows to routes, courses, and history lines.

only for this and it deserves to be a major release 8.X

In my opinion this is so important. There were countless times when i was following a course that would cross itself at somepoint and i would not know which way to go further.

Yes I understand your point. On my side the optimal would be having not only arrows but also colours on the track itself in order to identify climb/descent. Again this is the same present on oruxmap where the track is red when there is a strong climb, green when flat, blue when descent. I now you can have these info with climb pro but it's a separate view...

Because they have the colors in the ClimbPro feature, it should easy for them to add them to the track...(if they want).

I don't know if the problem already exits in Firmware 7.10, but now in Beta 7.19 there is some strange behaviour in this firmware. When you move the map, it works smoothly. However, if you go to Navigation and then search the map, the map jumps back to a different place after moving. Someone here has made a video that illustrates it better. Is this also the case for you and was it already the case under 7.10?
Here is the link to the video:

Hi. 3082867

I have the same behavior on the maps too. Confirming the case.

On the Navigation => View map, it jumps back and forward. Inside the profile on the map page, everything is OK.

Have you sent the video and report to the bug teams ? [email protected].

0 3082867 over 3 years ago in reply to b1ue3AGLE

No, I have not sent an email to [email protected] about this problem

0 3082867 over 3 years ago in reply to b1ue3AGLE

Now I have send an email about this problem to the beta team.

0 3082867 over 3 years ago in reply to 3082867

That was fast. I received the answer from the support. They have a fix ready for this issue and they anticipate releasing a new beta next week.

That are great news.

Does anyone know when you fill out the beta form and email it to [email protected] should I get some type of response? I'm having issues with my ANT+ Shimano D-Fly device disconnecting and reconnecting since the 7.19 update and wondering if this will be address in the next update.
