Record Track - Allow Setting of Color and keep track on top.

It would be VERY helpful if you allowed us to set the default color of a new Record Track and then kept the display of that recording track on TOP of all other Tracks or Routes as it records.

I often have possible trails layed out as a Route.  I then go to ride that route using Record Track and want to use that to see where I’ve been in case I need to follow my track back out.

Currently, the color of a new Record Track is randomly selected and then it is displayed on the screen as it records UNDER any other tracks or routes.  The effect is that you can’t see where you have been, can’t confirm it’s even recording, and have no idea which track you just recorded when you look on the screen even if you stop and save because the color is random.

This is very confusing when using GAIA to keep one on the right path and safe when riding or hiking!  It stops GAIA from being easy to use to quickly backtrack on a new track which I suspect is a common need.

  Agreed on wishing a currently-recorded track to be on top of any previous tracks or routes.

  Absolutely agree with having the active track color on top and different than any previously recorded tracks underneath. 

  I would also like to be able to have the active route ALWAYS on top of old tracks. Right now in some sections, it is being overlayed by older tracks, which causes confusion as to where to turn.

  I realize I could disable the visibility of all old tracks so only the active route and track would show up but those old tracks are needed for references while riding an area.

  I agree too with this change request.
  The latest random colors of the recording track were the color of the route and the color of the track on my map.

  I was about to submit a new request but found this has been requested… 4 years ago!!? Seems like a reasonable and simple update to have the track default color selectable. The random color is very annoying for me.

  Hello,

  This feature is available for some months now. When recording a track, click on it and in its options you can now select the most appropriate color.

  I was very happy to find it :-)

  Thanks, I know about this but it is not the same as a default track color.

  I'm going to bump this again. Requesting that a track currently being recorded is placed on top of any other previous tracks or routes.

  I will support this request again as it is very annoying to have older tracks or older routes overlap your current one. I believe with the premium price of this software users' requests should be addressed.
