# 12-Sep-2026 — Route-follow and Inbox: 1 fix [#151](https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/issues/151)

## [build 936](https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/actions/runs/34707955037) — [commit 87950e4](https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/commit/87950e42d590c9450207bbe630012b405fcc465a)

### **inbox**: never let a reply resolve to the replying member's own address

A broadcast-style message stored with the recipient's own address in
its To field (e.g. a role newsletter landing in a committee member's
own inbox) could make Reply pre-fill that member's own address as the
send target instead of the actual sender. Add one shared guard used by
the compose-reply endpoint: if the resolved reply target is the
current viewer's own address, fall back to the specific message's
sender instead.

### **route-follow**: following a route on a phone, with a pointer you can see and a line that starts where the walk starts ([#151](https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/issues/151))

## What's new

Following a route on a phone is now a proper full-screen experience rather than a cramped overlay. On a small screen, Full screen is no longer offered on a route map at all, because Follow this route already opens the map full screen with the step controls and directions where you can reach them.

While you are following, turning left or right turns the pink location arrow instead of spinning the whole map underneath you, so the route stays where you expect it. The arrow is bigger than it was, and you can choose how big you want it - Small, Medium or Large, shown as actual dots rather than three identical buttons, under Maps in While following.

Drawing a new route on the map now starts where the walk starts. The first click anchors the line to the walk's START point and every click after that extends the end of the line, so a click near the beginning can no longer quietly detach the line from the start pin. The START pin can be dragged while you are drawing, and the walk's finish point now gets a planning pin of its own just as the start always did.

## At a glance

- Full screen is hidden on a phone; Follow this route is the way into the map
- Turning on the spot rotates the pink arrow, not the map
- The location pointer defaults to Medium, with Small, Medium and Large shown as real dots under Maps, While following, and the choice is limited to a sensible width on a desktop
- A new route line anchors to the walk's START point and always extends from the end
- The START pin can be dragged while drawing, and the walk's finish now gets its own planning pin
