Hide course line?

Greetings.
Is there someway of hiding the course line when the approach plate is being viewed? I find that the magenta line hides some (important) information.
Thanks,
Charlie

Tap and hold on the screen, which reduces your route line to a single-wide thin line, so that you can see all details.

As 98%+ of the info you need should already be visible, the frequency of needing to tap/hold the screen is usually minimized, making this an acceptable solution for most, it seems.

Re: Hide course line?

I'll chime in in agreement with Charlie. I also find that important data is obscured. I'm putting together a list of suggestions and course line opacity is near the top. The tap and hold method, leaving a narrow line is OK, but I would prefer to be able to adjust the opacity via a setting. This would allow me to read information under the line without touching. Airway numbers, course headings, etc. are obscured by the course line. I would suggest a opacity setting (maybe limited to >=20% or something) with no solid opaque component. Then leave the single-wide line during a tap.

My two cents anyway.
