Why do some Locus help topics get "archived" because then it's no longer possible to add comments? For example "Locus Map on Win11" https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/29607-locus-on-win11. Microsoft is to drop Android support on Windows in 2025 - https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/5/24091370/microsoft-windows-11-android-apps-end-of-support. So much for that idea ;-(

I bought & connected a WS07 sensor - works well - thanks @menion. Nicely integrated with LM - thanks. The only issue so far is when you rename the sensor, the keyboard hides the textbox.

Further to my last post & @freischneider I've made a video showing how hard it is to hide the new bottom panel - 5 attempts to drag down & hide - it kept on popping up. Finally got it to "stay down" - why is it so tedious? Also suggest the visibility is a sticky setting. Once LM knows the user doesn't want to see this panel, keep it hidden (as in previous version). Even better would be to remember the users preferred height of this panel & restore it next time.

Overall I like the new navigation UI. Nice ideas. It ties in with the Web Planner UI. It is amazing to reflect on how far LM navigation has progressed since the first integration with BRouter.

1) I'd agree with @tapio. I don't think the default use-case when tapping a point name should be a search? From the point menu surely enough? Panning the point into view on the map, same as tapping the point icon, seems more intuitive to me. And definitely long-tap on the point icon to toggle, or display point details?

2) It would be *really nice* if the drag up bottom panel provided a ">" button, consistent with ordinary track details panel, to show the full chart, and (in my case) slope.

3) 6 points in the list is taking up too much screen space - half of tablet in portrait orientation. As @tapio said it would be good if it could be more compact, and, for me, maybe 3 points are enough. Could the user drag the bottom panel to their desired height rather than a height where each user wants something different? I know each shaping point has it's number in middle of the green triangle, but so hard to see, so could the number also be included in the point name, similar to Via point name, as marked up below?

4) Could tapping on the profile icon in between each point allow selection, and changing, of the method of segment routing?

>the web app should match the mobile app's planning features.
the reduced functionality of the WebPlanner is reflected in its name (Locus Map BETA), and only one main developer

can finally delete tracks & points from v1.41.1 web planner - thanks guys, great feature! sorry this is not the right topic but...

wow - very interesting - you never stop with new ideas

are you sure, that the toilet icon is offline LoPoint? So the active clickable point that comes from the (attached to the map) offline database?
You may recognize lopoints by visible "Add photo" icon in the top right corner of the point detail.

@menion - just doubled checked - yes offline LoPoint & "Add photo" icon.

A different topic, and probably an observation rather than any action needed, but I have 4.21.0 installed on device:

and yet Google Play Store offers to update to 4.20?? I declined the offer. I have not seen this before, and probably tomorrow everything will be "back in sync".

excellent/ perfect - all & none ;-) great example showing how previously the bike parking POI were hidden in the "map clutter" and now clearly evident with all theme settings turned off!!

Interesting, I'm playing with it and for me, size of offline LoPoints is really controlled by the "LoPoint icon size" option. Interesting...

Unfortunately this forum doesn't allow quoting from one topic to another

attached screen caps - left "i" is my own added point, right icon is from LoPoints(offline) > search toilet

1st screen: point icon size 90%, LoPoint icon size 300%
2nd screen: point icon size 300%, LoPoint icon size 90%

So for me, I think this demonstrates icon size is NOT altered by LoPoint icon size? Intended? The map is OAM, however I have tested & confirmed same sizes with Locus map.

just a little hidden settings:

@menion - I did say Point Icon Size or LoPoint Icon Size?

@menion - the size of LoPoints(offline) icons isn't influenced by Settings > Points & Tracks > Point Icon Size or LoPoint Icon Size.

my fault - yes the size does vary - my testing shows that the size of LoPoints(offline) icons is controlled by "Point Icon Size", not "LoPoint Icon Size". Is that intended?

Please try the xml on my Github, it has some changes.

@tapio - 1.4.0 - all good.

@Sup - try this - export track as KML then import into Google Earth - it's fantastic. POI are correctly imported as well. I wish I'd known about this possibility years ago.

@menion - the size of LoPoints(offline) icons isn't influenced by Settings > Points & Tracks > Point Icon Size or LoPoint Icon Size. What am I doing wrong? Sorry for newbie question.

I asked because there are bike parking icons in your screenshot and amenity=bike_park is not in OAM.

@Tapio - yes, bike parking was my original reason to pursue this topic; I'm using OAM Australia-Tasmania from 2021/11/28. My theme doesn't reference any SVG. As suggested elsewhere after my original question, the POI come from doing LoPoints(offline) > Hiking & Cycling > Bicycle parking > tap icon top RHS (100)

Yes, 1.3.9. Did you use the theme file I attached?!

no, I was using 1.3.8. new "buildings" in 1.3.9 - thanks. I note when I uncheck "Road network" the larger roads are hidden but not minor roads? Similarly when I uncheck "City" & "Suburb", most place names are hidden but not some minor place names? Compare the 2 screen caps attached.

I am interested if the "Install latest" in my signature works for you

I'm testing from Windows PC then copying ZIP to device with FTP

(always have to edit my posts afterwards to add pictures)

@T-mo - me too - somewhat clunky system. I 1st do "quick reply" > Save, then More... > Modify.

This final comment may be better in the 4.20 beta topic, but @menion - the size of LoPoints(offline) icons isn't influenced by Settings > Points & Tracks > Point Icon Size or LoPoint Icon Size.
