I agree with Peter B.: toggling the mini slider close to " GPX files... " on/off at

", it would be weird if one could not tap "GPX files... " to get to the tracks. So, the best solution when "GPX files... " is being tapped, is displaying the "Hamburger menu > My Places > Tracks >" screen instead of the "GPX files... " screen of limited functionality. This way the application becomes a little easier to comprehend for users and even the code shrinks. When this change is being made, two minor things should be considered as well: 1. "GPX files... " on the "Configure map" screen could be renamed "Tracks..." for consistency. I know that in GPX files there is a difference between routes and tracks and the file does not necessarily contain any track or a route. It could possibly contain unconnected waypoints only. But this is rarely used and users who use such GPX files will probably associate them with the menu item "Tracks..." as well. 2. Today, under hamburger menu > Configure map > GPX files... >, the width of the track line on the screen can be chosen (Thin, Medium, Bold). Under hamburger menu > My Places > Tracks >, this is not possible today, but it should be added here.
