Easier route/track display

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like to be able to use Traccar in the same way as Garmin InReach displays tracking information. The Garmin InReach displays your current position and your last track automatically, you can then select older tracks from the left sidebar. Currently in Traccar you have to create a report every time single time you use the web UI to get similiar results.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be great if displaying the last trip could be more easier, like either just always display last trip/route, when this is selected in some configuration option or at least having the option of saving a report and then being able to display saved reports from the left sidebar would go a long way of fixing this and many other usability problems.

Describe alternatives you've considered You can of course use report for this and the report feature is powerful, but you have to select the devices, select the time period, and then click show and you have to to this every time you use the web UI.

That would have a huge performance impact. Calculating trips is expensive.

That is why I am mentioning that this should just be an option and not default out of the box. But just being able to save a report with the extra option of displaying last trip and having this available to click on in the ui would help a lot and this should not be really that complex to implement since basically everything for this is available right now except for saving the parameters of the report and to run it when selecting.
