Real distance to destination, not "as the crow flies"

Hello,

I don't know what I'm missing but here's something that bugs me deeply.

So, I'm on a trail and I have a track recorded already and the offline maps downloaded.

Why can't i just answer the simple question "Are we there yet?" :)

If I click the end of the track I get the distance "as the crow flies" ( a straight line), not the real distance on the terrain, (snap-to-trail distance).

Does this only work with routes but not tracks?

Thanks,

Nelu

  Hi Nelu,
  
  To measure the distance to the end of a track, you must create a route from your current location to the end of the track.  As of version 2021.8 of the iOS app, you can make this route snap to trail while offline as long as you have downloaded the offline routing data for the area.
  
  We don't have plans for anything like this a "distance left along route" feature, but I do have an open request for this feature and I've added your vote.
  
  If you have any further questions, please contact Support here.

  Thank you for the update, Jim.

  What if I'm following a route instead of a track? Do I know the distance to destination in that case?

  Thanks,

  Nelu

  This is partly my main problem it would also be great if you could see where I was on the elevation profile also. But that is just lasiness.
