It would be great if the ability to change the line color and width that is visible when Location Tracking (My Tracks) is enabled were added to Field Maps

Hi Tim,

Thank you for submitting your idea to the Esri ideas page. Could you provide us with some information on the use case(s) for this functionality?

Thank you,

Kerri

One use case I can think of for us is that some maps have quite a lot of activity with many varied symbols, some of which may make it hard to see which line is your tracking history. Being able to customise your track will make it easier to see where you have been. 

This is also a "maybe" use case - people with colour blindness may want to vary symbology to suit their specific vision requirements?

LindsatRaabe_FPCWA stated it very well. In addition to helping those who may be color blind, having the ability to change the My Tracks line color, width, and pattern would assist in better being able to distinguish the track from other layers if there are lots of colors and patterns that may obscure a blue/light blue line such is the color of the My Tracks.

Thank you for the additional feedback Tim.

We are walking service lines and mains.  The thickness of the tracks sometimes hinders seeing our points and lines that we need to be paying attention too.  I agree that the ability to adjust this is needed.
