Describe the issue
In night mode, but also in day mode, while a routing is active, the route visibility is many times bad.

While it is still okay for a location like this, where there is not much around:

The visibility is definitely bad in the following scenario. This is especially the case when the phone is mounted to the bike, and when the user cannot look at the phone for 5-10 consecutive seconds while driving:

Improvement suggestions:

Draw the route line on the map continuously instead of dashed. I believe there is nothing more important on the map than the route, so why reduce its visibility?
Increase the width of the route line
While driving, the dashed line seems to be moving towards or away from the user's position. Probably, this happens when the speed changes, so the zoom level adapts automatically. This is very distracting.

System information:

Operating system and its version: Android 14
Organic Maps version: 2024.06.19-Google
Device Model: Pixel 8
