Hi,
Some questions / suggestions for development:

1. Is it possible to have the shaded relief still active for higher zoom levels? Now if I go closer than 200m the relied flattens (shaded relief disables) . It’s more intuitive to evaluate the relief shape I’m about to travel than trying to interpret the contour lines which are harder to “read” especially while riding. Something similar to what other navigation devices offers (ie: Garmin).
Would it be nice to have also an option to adjust the “exaggeration” level of 3D effect for a more “3D” effect.

2. Option to save / download satellite images for an selected area or along a track  / route? ( Usually in the offroad there is also lack of proper signal to keep the satellite images updating ..

3. Same for shaded relief / DEM. Option to download the shaded relief for a selected area / along a track or route or even better, for the selected country. I know the usually DEM files are considerable less in size comparing with map file of a country therefore it might worth having this option available.

4. An option to offer users to enable an auto-start for track recording? I’m sure it happened to others to forget starting track recording. A less action that I have to remember to do before start riding, especially useful when I’m exploring and discovering new paths in off-road.
Thinking like a prompt with a time out message informing user if he wants to start track recording when he start moving and track recording is not activated.

5. In navigation mode, to have a quick option to find an alternative route (deviation route) for the next: 1km / 5km / 10km / 50km .. then getting back in the original track or route. This is very useful when along the route you find a closed rod / a heavy traffic jam or anything else that will force you to search for an alternative road to continue. Selecting one of the deviation length options then DMD would search / recalculate (based on the same navigation profile as original route) and show on  the map an alternative path for the approx. given distance that rider could follow. I have this option on my Garmin and I find it useful and miss it here. It’s much more convenient than stopping and scrolling the map to see what other rods are linked and can be followed to temporary deviate from the track.
