Hello all,
When I follow a destination route (like a gpx), my position stays in the center of the map (Android smartphone on bicycle). Perfect!. But I would like to keep this function when I drive randomly, without tapping the "my position" every now and then. Sometimes it works when I record my track, but not always, and I don't see why this is. Settings: profile for bicycle, map in the direction of movement, done route shown on map with a colored line of my choice.

Thanks for the attention.

Hi Stefaan! Thanks for the feedback. Tapping the "My location" button enables "Follow" mode, centering the map on your position. You can also set the compass to "Movement direction" and "Display position" to "Center" in the Configure Screen for your profile.
