Annoying change of map area

[routeconverter]

I am exploring options to prepare an offroad route/track for loading into my garmin unit. I loaded a track from a .gpx into routeconverter and wanted to study how it was drawn in detail so I zoomed in on a specific section of the track. Then swapped to route and got a bit annoyed that the map location was zoomed out to cover the complete route/track again. In my case it would have been better to redraw the route (clearing previous track representation) without zooming out, simply to the fact that I had a bit of a hard time to relocate the same section, which I had previously been studying as track, for comparison.

You've convinced me to change this behaviour. After loading it makes sense to adjust the zoom level such that all positions are visible, but changing the type of the presentation should have no effect on that.

It was only a small code change, but I cannot estimate the effects it had. Please test the prerelease I've just uploaded if it contains other bugs.

RouteConverter seems to do "auto-routing" using Google Maps as reference.

In fact, it uses Google Maps.

Since my offroad tracks are not always following roads it is a bad thing for me if RouteConverter recalculates the routes. Is it possible to disable use of traffic map when doing the track-to-route conversion?

Google Maps is just used to display the data and RouteConverter does not use the traffic map for the track-to-route conversion. So yes, it possible, and it's the default and there is no other option

RouteConverter is not too slow, during my brief experience with the application it seems to be really quick.

Glad to hear that.
