We will never agree on what view is best, and that's okay. We are entitled to have different opinions. Now we have given our opinions. The dev team will have to decide now.
Regarding my suggestion "Current location menu"
I have thought more about my suggestion to add a menu with features related to the current position, when long-clicking the position indicator. Such a popup menu could be like this:
Save current position as a…
red waypoint in current route (to indicate this is a location to avoid in the future) *
green waypoint in current route (to indicate this is a nice location to be remembered) *
Favourite
Share my position…
Ref *: (this option should only be visible if a route is active. The current position could instead be saved to the current track, if track recording is active).
Once an option is clicked, the next step could be for the app to suggest a name for the location being saved, like the nearest address, or name of a nearby road or something else, the wording is not that important. Then the user can simply click OK - as if the user thinks “yeah yeah whatever”, or the user can modify the suggested text before saving it.
