Hi!
I use the app for tracking my cycle tours so my parents can see my location and check I'm ok and also to analyse data at the end of the trip.
I don't use the app to identify my own location as I travel, so the map feature is a bit unnecessary for me. It would be great if there was a way to turn the app on and off without viewing the map as my phone re-downloads the map each time which when roaming adds up fast! Alternatively if the app allowed you to use maps saved on your phone this would also be a great solution too!

Map view only consumes bandwidth and not really usefull from the client perspective.
Toggling service through a widget is an option, however, I use Messaging, so I need to open the app anyway and the Map view is a default one.
Moreover, "Messages" view is missing some of the stats, e.g. SAT connectivity view.
I would rather make a Map view - optional and replace it on the main screen with more technical offline stats - speed, altitude, course, track profile, SATs, etc.

Re: Start/stop service without viewing map
Personally I think that the map does not consume much data if you never scroll it. I guess it caches at least a small portion. Anyways, the new v2 App will support to remove all apps.
