Minor suggestion: more Info popups

In this screenshot you can see a sweet ⓘ icon button next to the 'Offline navigation' option in Functional settings.
Tapping it opens a temporary popup that describes the feature.
It would be fabulous to have these on ALL settings (not just functional ones) where space allows.
For example, I can't remember what 'Allow track navigation for routes' means.Yes, it takes time to write them, but the tech is there, just waiting for the addition of some ⓘ icon buttons.
Not a deal breaker obviously, but for new users it's a simple way to educate them. And for forgetful people like me a nice reminder.

@richtea999 Just FYI 'Allow track navigation for routes' means that you ride the route as if it is a track. no route points and if you deviate too far off course you may be directed to the end of the track rather than back onto the track.

@richtea999, yes, considering the many questions on the forum about features that are already implemented, that would be a good idea.
To add to @Nick-Carthew's explanation: if enabled it triggers this window when you open a route:

That text would fit perfectly inside a popup, Nick!
Copy/paste - job done.
Gold star to you.
And to Con for the extra info. I'll keep it ticked.

Thanks, might indeed be a good idea to add these to some complex settings
