Highlight All Convoys on Selected Route

This is a proposal for a new toggle-box option in the minimap window. It would allow the player to view the current position of all convoys on a selected line. When a line is open in the Line Management window, and the "Highlight All Convoys on Selected Route" box is checked, a visible dot would be shown on the minimap for each convoy on that route.

Why would this be useful? Sometimes it's hard to detect network problems in good time (i.e. before they get worse and have knock-on effects). If I suspect that there's a bottleneck somewhere, this proposed feature would allow me to check this at a glance without having to search the whole map manually. This would be especially useful on long routes where it would take a considerable amount of time to search the whole route manually.

I assume that this would be fairly easy to implement, since the game already knows where every convoy is at any given point in time.

Feedback and thoughts gratefully received!
