That "log a track" was under the track which came from route (current route). When the route-track was followed, the log-track was only visible on some corners where there was GPS accuracy errors.Toggle would be nice to have the current log-track top most or bottom most.

I don't know if it is just me, but whole tracklogs thing seems rather messy UI-wise. There is "tracklogs" and "log a track" buttons in main menu, and behind "log a track" there is "tools" which then has "all tracks visible", "visible toggle", "set active" and so on - but what track for example is concerned with that "set active", the last one which was selected from "tracklogs" menu or the current one which is logging?

What about this reroute "button" occupying so big area of the map when routing is active? Is rerouting needed so often it needs to be there, or could it be behind the [route info]-button, so one could more easily pan the map and not accidentally hit reroute?

One more thing which I now remembered:
When log-tracking is turned on, but GPS-position hasn't not yet got, it draws the track log starting from the center of the country you are in. eCoach had this same problem few versions back but they fixed it.

Any info or idea (yet) what these GLIB warnings are, which are flooding dmesg?

Code:
