Right now a track is drawn only as a line through its points, so there's no way to see where the actual recorded points are. Could there be an optional display setting for this, e.g. similar to what GpsPrune offers:
- Lines only (current)
- Points only
- Points with lines
- Points with lines + direction arrows
Mode 4 overlaps with #275. Point styling could just reuse the waypoint style.
Being able to see the discrete points is helpful for:
- judging real sample density / GPS logging interval,
- spotting stationary clusters (many points piled at one spot) vs. fast segments (points spread far apart),
- distinguishing recorded data from interpolation, and noticing gaps or straight-line jumps.
The last one is a particular pain point for me, I often find myself opening the GPX file in a text editor to see if a given track position I'm looking at is an interpolation in a long stretch where I didn't have GPS data, or if I really continued straight for that part.
