Distance bar at bottom of planning screen

[Tony 13]

not sure if any suggestions have been raised on this feature, or what it is properly called. Anyway.
It is almost useful for me. But I would find it better if:

it could switch between distance and time.
The slider ball(?) showed the distance/time
The map did not zoom in so far when using it, in fact I would prefer for the zoom to remain in my control

I agree with Tony.

The route preview slider at the bottom of the screen would be nice to have a countdown of distance and traveled. I have used a feature like this in other route planning software, it is very nice when you have a limited size fuel tank when planning longer trips you can slide the Preview slider to the distance you know you can travel on a tank of gas and look for the nearest gas station on your route.

As mentioned by OP the Zoom would be nice to be controlled.

That's just the way opinions are, I wish this bar could be switched off. I need more map view on small screens.
