This is a feature I'm looking for. I could not find it in the feature
list, nor in the setup.
The use case is:
- if you are in an area like mountains, woods where almost no ways a
recorded, you can at least
see your own trail which will make finding your way back easier.
(I know you could load your recorded trail, but thats not the
same)

- If you are visiting a city and just strolling along various roads,
you would easily see where you have
already been.
This would also require to allow to define the color / thickness of
this line.

I would also like this a lot. I also think the UI would have to be
quite advanced. In most of the cases you I don't need this function
(and I wouldn't like any trace of it on the map). In some cases I
don't realize I needed the function until after I have left the origin
point.

My proposal would be to record everything and provide some very nice
gui to select timeframe for graphicaly displaying the history of traces.
