[And another good surprise: this problem is gone now. No changes done here so cannot tell why it disappeared. I will keep an eye on it. (Still have the screen recording to prove that it existed)]

And big surprise: an old problem from 3.48 is back with regard to shutting down Locus.

Faster indeed and (to my positive surprise) Locus shuts down correctly again by back button. Also with active guiding or navigation it works correct now. (With active navigation you get the standard alert).

Info: with the 3.48 versions Locus stayed active with visible gps symbol and it kept the active guidng alive and I had to swipe it away in the last used apps screen to really stop it. This happened on my Android 7 and on my wife's Android 10.

I can send you a screen recording (too big for attachment). First I close Locus over the back butten and second over swiping to the right. Always waiting more than 10 seconds in between closing and restart.

Hallo Jorg,

Meinst du auf die Karte mit gefarbte Liniën oder Symbolen sichtbare Routen/Wanderwege? Die sind in OpenStreetMaps und dann auch in LoMaps drin aber nur als Kartensymbol oder gezeichnete Linie. Dann geht es nicht, es sei denn du zeichnest die nach mit dem Routenplaner, wie Fred das beschreibt.

Aber: von viele auf die Karte sichtbare Wanderwegen, zb. alle E Routen (Europaeische) aber auch viele Lokale findest du im Internet .gpx tracks.
Die kanst du einfach in Locus importieren und dann mit Guiding oder Navigation verfolgen wie im Handbuch beschrieben.

Thanks for the info and good luck.
Btw. I was mixing up G8 and G9 power. The G9 is coming but it doen not state the e-compass. I'll wait and see.

Hi. I checked this on my wife's Motorola One with Android 10. Apparenttly Locus does not support this option. So I guess your only way out is to switch off all optimisation when recording with Locus and only activate optimisation in average daily (office) use.

Now since I was allready looking at this G9 Power, I have to ask: are you really afraid it won't last long enough because it really has this big 6000 mAh battery.
And sorry for offtopic, but do you own a European model and does it have a compass (since the specs do not mention this)?

Geht aber doch. Schau mal unter Einstellungen/Steuerung/Kartenansicht. Vielleicht sind deine Voreinstellungen in Eimer..

Curious, I will give it a go. Hopefully with some sun to check the contrast.
Only hiking style for now and no translation?

An old? problem seems to be back.
It's about track style and color.
Style on map for this track is set to be "Folder" but that is partly ignored when navigating reversely. We use arrows pattern 3 and they are reversed but the color of the "folder" is not applied.
It works ok when navigating in original direction (so using complete folder style).

To make it even more complicated this happens on my wife's android 10 phone but I can not simulate it on my Android 7 with the same track and settings.

Faster indeed and (to my positive surprise) Locus shuts down correctly again by back button. Also with active guiding or navigation it works correct now. (With active navigation you get the standard alert).

So, allthough this is not mentioned in the "change/fix" list, this is a good thing.

Will there be a 3.49.xx topic? I really like to read about the changes before installing/updating/  or am I the only one who does not do automatic updates. Espescially never before a hiking holiday!

You can see the other persons history, if he/she moves and if he/she has an update interval of less than 10  minutes.

Thanks once more KillerBG. After three weeks in Gran Paradiso with a lot of sunlight, your theme is definitely going to stay with us. First choice!!!

3.48.0  "Mostly bug fixes and mimor improvements". I got it offered through the Play-store. Is this one really for regular users, since there is no announcement in this forum or on the helpdesk?

For me the beeps sometimes come before the guidance calculation is finished at the startup of the guidance. I see Locus then searching for the nearest point.

In 3.47.2 with backups on my external SD-card and Locus completely in internal memory, deleting a backup-zip-file does not work.
I go to "Restore" and tap the three dots and choose delete, but the file is still there.
Minor problem, only used for extra temporarily settings backups.
Android 7.

Touch and HOLD the lower left centering button. You can choose there GOS meaning the map will go to GPS position in 5 seconds automatically. Also to be found in settings, see manual , controlling the map: https://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:maps_mainscr_ctrl.
