refresh the route when recalculated

navit can recalculate routes automatically, but the display does not reflect the changes at all. You have to move the map or hit Refresh to know that the route has changed.

Navit should refresh the route when it is recalculated.

Currently, Navit refresh upon two criteria : new position from gps, and user has forced follow=1, or the cursor hits a border of the screen. But your suggestion makes sense to me.

but currently, it does not refresh when the gps position is updated. At least not on my side. The gps position cursor moves, but the route "behind" it does not clear itself up. Are you sure it works? ;)

ah indeed it works with follow=1, I did not understand what you meant initially. That option is not so easily discoverable though.

We could force a refresh if the route has been recalculated.

According to the following code:

if (this_->route) {

struct attr callback; this_->route_cb=callback_new_attr_1(callback_cast(navit_redraw_route), attr_route_status, this_); callback.type=attr_callback; callback.u.callback=this_->route_cb; route_add_attr(this_->route, &callback);

}

It appears to me, that the route refresh is called, when route_status is changed and route_status is changed during route recalculation. So it looks fixed :)
