Showing tracks on the map

Hello, I most always use Trip Planner for navigating my routes, and recently I became a member of MyRouteApp to easily create routes online and export them to my Zumo XT.

But now I am also exploring tracks. I use Apps -> Tracks to see my saved tracks. I click on the track and then wrench icon to modify color and I select "show on map". When I open "View maps" from the main screen the track (or more) is see then with the color I selected. This is good.

The problem is when I want to uncheck its visibility... I have to go to Apps -> Tracks, find that specific track I have selected by the name, click wrench, and then uncheck "show on map".

Is there another way to disable the visible tracks more easily? I find it problematic to have to search for them by name and then uncheck them... Is there an option for a list to show only visible tracks so that I can easily see whats "on"? How do you guys manage your tracks visibility?

I have wondered the same thing but have not found a way to easily identify which tracks are actively showing on the map let alone an easy way to toggle them on/off. It would have been nice if Garmin developers had designed the interface with this in mind. A "Show on map" tick box/indicator in the Saved Tracks list would have been nice.

My simple work-around:

When setting up to display both tracks and routes, I make sure the unique track & route names match exactly. Then I remember to un-display the track first. I look at my displayed ROUTE name, then select the track with exactly the same name. The trick for me is to never display more than 1 track at a time. I can't recall ever having a need to do that.
