Yes, that would be much better. In fact I was planning that but then Google changed something in Google Maps which caused the track feature to look jittery and restless.
I have another crack at solving the jittery look and implement your suggestion. Especially useful on phones.

If I can't get rid of the jitter, I will have to change the track code so it allows the ship to sail until it get's close to the screen border and then center it.

Mind you, I find that I almost never use tracking and much prefer to see the ship move smoothly.

Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it.
