New to the common map settings is a “Pointer” section that allows you to pick from 5 pointer types for the main map.

Available from version 1.8.

You can configure either to show the course line on a map or not and if YES, configure its length.

Here is how course line looks on a map:

Waypoints handling on a main or secondary maps.

Available from version 1.8.

Note that app can switch waypoints grouping to be enabled if it thinks that performance would be bad otherwise.

To explain other map elements influenced by map settings:

#2 is a line to a waypoint or location set as a navigation target. You show/hide it by long press on a map and then selecting “show/hide” for the target line. You can also just cancel/stop navigation and line will go away.

#3 is a course line. Can be shown/hidden via common map settings or again, via long press on a map and then show/hide.

#4 is your “location tail”, showing your recent path for better orientation.

T1 is a waypoint. You can set waypoints being shown or hidden on the main or secondary maps in the common map settings or again by “long press” on a map to invoke the show/hide options.
