[done] Lock location main screen option?

Wondering if it would be possible to add a 'lock current location' button on the main screen? Love the center on me function, but I often stop and scan the map quickly but want it to stay put till I move it again or snap to current location, but find the current three button press operation a little slow. I'd love to see a 'lock' icon, maybe right between the zoom-in/out buttons that would toggle the snap to current location on/off.

Hi and thanks for your feedback.
I agree with you, I also find this feature boring to activate/deactivate.
The thing is that I would like to avoid adding more buttons on the map screen.
However I am currently testing an alternate way: using the Localisation menu button for that: if the lock feature is activated and the user moves the map, then the menu icon changes to a lock. One press will move the map on the gps location (just like the button you ask for), and the icon goes back to normal. If pressed again, the submenu is displayed as normal.
I like this behavior, but I don't know how the users will feel about it.
I'll let you know, but I may add it in the next version coming soon.
Best regards

The new behaviour has been introduced in version 1.3.7.
Thanks for your feedback.
