 |Show direction|Activating this option will show a directional line (or a routed line if routing options are installed) on the map between your current position and the navigation target.\\ You can activate the direction line by opening the map for a single cache or selecting a cache on the map and activating the feature in the cache popup window now shown on the map (the latter is only applicable for offline maps). //(Default: Activated)//|
 |Show trail|With this option you can activate a trail showing your position history (your movement) on the map. //(Default: Deactivated)// \\ \\ :!: Please be aware, that this does neither provide a track recording nor a permanent trail. It will only be accurate as long as you use the map and have GPS enabled and will have gaps or jumps in case you switch your device to standby or deactivate GPS. If you would like a reliable track recording you should rather use a specialized app.|
+|Trail color|Here you can select the color of the trail line on the map between grey blue or green according to your personal preference.|
+|Calculate route|With this setting you can select the maximum distance up to which a route is calculated and shown on the map between your position and the selected cache. //(Default: 10km)// \\ \\ :!: This function requires the [[.:utilityprograms|Brouter helper app]] to be installed on your device.|
+|Show straight distance|If the setting is active, the straight distance to the target will be shown additionally to the routed distance while routing is active.|

-|Static Maps|This function will download Google maps images of the area around each saved cache both as street map and satellite view (total of 5 images). It is a helpful feature if you plan to go caching without internet access (and maybe even without an offline map.\\ The basic street map will be shown at the bottom of the cache details page, the remaining maps are accessible by selecting ''Static Maps'' in the cache ''Navigation'' menu. //(Default: Activated)// \\ \\ :!: After activating this feature you have either to refresh the saved caches to trigger loading of the static maps or you can load them individually by calling the navigation function in single caches as describe above.|
+|Static Maps|This function has been removed.|
-|Static Maps (WP)|This will load the static maps (as described above) additionally also for all waypoints of all saved caches. //(Default: Deactivated)// \\ \\ :!: Please note, that there is a limit by Google of 1000 static maps per 24h per user(IP). Having a rather huge list of stored caches or even only some caches with many waypoints, you may easily reach this limit (as 5 images cache and each cache waypoint are loaded). In this case some static maps might be missing.|
+|Static Maps (WP)|This function has been removed.|
 |Save images|If this option is activated c:geo will save all images contained in the caches logbooks onto your device for offline availability. You need to refresh already stored caches after activating this function to make their images available offline.\\ If this option is deselected log images will be loaded on demand only (when opening them or accessing the caches image tab) but still be saved permanent afterwards until you delete the cache from your device. //(Default: Deactivated)//|
 |Ask for List|When activated you will be asked in which list the cache shall be saved if you store a cache in c:geo. If it is deactivated all caches will be stored to the default list. //(Default: Activated)//|
