Hi all,

In the upper right of the screen shot you will see a red dot with 559 ft.  What does this mean?  I'm not navigating and no destination is set.  The size of the red dot changes occasionally.  If I click on it it turns grey and the number label changes to "start".  Is there documentation for this?  I couldn't find any.

Thanks.

I answered my own question.  It's the tracking button.  The number seems to be the length of the track recorded.  You can press the button to stop recording (grey), and press again to resume tracking.

I still can't find the documentation for this feature.

I guess it's because you're using the nightly version, and the documentation still has to be written or extended.

Fortunately the tracking works the same not matter if you are in day
or night view ... :-)))

The feature is present since 0.8.1 version. I think the only documentation is the mention of this feature in 'What's new' section.
