App feature suggestion: add a config to set "Always display climbs" ie, when on a climb, it stays on screen, overriding a "Dim between turns"setting. (And perhaps do this regardless of whether the profile of the route is being displayed?). 

Many of us set "Dim between turns" to save battery, but I think it is worth sacrificing some battery to be able to see our progress up a climb, which - hopefully - will be motivating rather than discouraging ... 

(See also separate thread with feedback about slightly flaky operation of the climbs feature.)

As ever, much appreciation for your magic.

I'm nudging my suggestion, as experience on multiple rides indicates that - at least on Android on my Samsung GalaxyA20 - with dim between turns set, the climbs do not pop up at all reliably. I have reported some detailed instances in a separate thread, but from subsequent rides it seems an endemic issue. 

The flakiness I am referring to is the announcement of start and top of the climb, and the display of progress, not issues in the detection of which sections are treated as climbs. All this seems fine when dim between turns is not selected.
