Hello Klaus,

hmm - I meant that like you WILL have the master button "hide all" to really hide all (so only map will be covering the whole screen), then the separated options for the bottom configurable info panel - no change there - it is absolutely great as it is now!

OR - maybe you don´t need this "hide all" option at all - because you can just simply tap on the screen to everything then will be shown again (configurable what).. It is great idea to have presets (by e.g. recall buttons) there.. :good:

You mentioned autohide.. I can not well imagine how it should be working.. What will be shown if you only move the map? Do the buttons then show self or stay hidden? I think I don´t need to see the buttons while I only wanna to move the map.. I prefer to autohide (show the buttons) by simple tap to map if "Hide all infos" was previously selected.. So the buttons will show self temporarily while you just tap but not on map move. (Yes - autohide - maybe you mean that like it may then automaticaly hide after some time - say 10 seconds? :) So if you will need them - then you will simply tap the screen then e.g. zoom the map etc. And then while you again simply tap to map then if the "hide all info" - or e.g. "Autohide all info" ;) maybe better :) ) is selected then all the info and buttons will be hidden again.. So - the main thing at first will be the map, then - on demand - simple tap - the info will be shown.)

This is leading me to the question what with the navigation which is then separate at all - as it is not just an info.. :cyclops:

I don´t answer myself about it well now.. But I think that this may have an option to hide the navigation option to select or deselect, so the all info would be hidden but while show navigation is selected then the navigation will be shown regardless.. Then you will be able to hide it also by deselecting it in the menu "Show/Hide Navigation"..

And I think here the low.flying.pigs is right that the user should still have the option to choose what he´d like to see on screen while "Hide all info" is deselected..

So - summarized:

You will have the menu with:

"Hide All (autohide)" (OR maybe it is not necessary at all - the map is the main thing here and may always cover the whole screen so at the beginning with the buttons present and after 10 second of no action it should then hide the buttons automatically (or by simple tap to hide/show them),

"Show/Hide Navigation" - which will not respect the "Hide All Info" setting

as well as "Hide Track",

"Hide Map" - I don´t know why - but should stay..

Then the configurable bottom panel - as it is now - it is absolutely at all perfect yet!

The "draw map while shifting" should be separated somewhere to elsewhere but not here as it is not about to configuring the display self - it is a type of selection of displaying behavior of the map..

I don´t wanna throw it away completely as I like this option :) , but - if it is really necessary, I think maybe other users will never need this option to change the displaying style and now it seems to me that it is maybe just for me only :silly:

If there is any other menu for configuring styles of display or anything similar.. Then it may be shifted there.. I let this decision on you - to leave or not..

So - the main thing is to hide everything to only see the map covering the whole screen..

The second - it is not important as much to have one info there or many if the "Hide all info" is NOT selected.. So - you like to see the info there, and never mind how many they are.. And it is still configurable..
