Unfortunately the bug with external routing addons and starting navigation while moving isn't fixed. Locus still locks up while waiting for GPS, even though the signal is already there. Starting navigation via the POI addon button while driving works though as a workaround. I posted the bug in the developer forum.
The colors for elevation are now easy to read. I tested it for a few days in the mountains.
But I'd also like to see this option for the navigation route. I can choose a custom setting there, but I can't see which way to go at intersections. Sometimes there are two or three options for turning right.
I also tested the e-bike sensor for the EP8. My battery level was displayed perfectly on the dashboard.
But the first time I use it, I always have to activate it. That's very time-consuming: Menu, Settings, GPS Sensors, Sensor Manager, Connect.
If I turn off the e-bike while riding and turn it back on after a short time, the sensor is immediately recognized.
But when I launch Locus the next day, I have to reconnect the sensor.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a faster way? Or is there a way to have the sensor connect automatically every time?

Ahoj Menion, po poslednej aktualizacii mam jednu chybu :
Mam ulozenu trasu v kniznici. Ak si trasu vyberiem, ukaze sa mapa, informacie o trase, maly graf ...
Ale pod tym by sa mal zobrazit pomocny riadok s moznostami > upravit, preplanovat, nastroje, navigacia a podobne.
Toto menu sa zobrazi ale je takmer neviditelne, len cast ikoniek dole sa ukazuje, ten riadok neviem ci sa da niekde zvacsit.
Cervenou som vyznacil problemove menu.
Casto totiz po dojdeni do ciela si dam ulozit trasu, potom nastroje, aktualizovat nadmorsku vysku pre spresnenie prejdenej vysky, ale teraz sa k tomu neviem dostat.
@TrulloF oki, let's discuss it in a separate topic. It is starting to be quite complicated. Mainly because I'm unable to simulate any problem ...
@freischneider intersections visibility > hmm, good point, but how to do it? Default navigation colouring works pretty well here. Custom colouring is applied to the whole track, so these intersections are not as clear as before. And because I have to first draw the whole outline and then the whole fill (mainly for performance reasons), I see no easy solution here.
Auto-connect > I usually use two methods:
- shortcut to the "Sensors manager directly on the map screen, so just three taps to activate it
- and mainly auto-connect is enabled in the recording profile. So I have a bunch of sensors on the bike that always connected when I start "bike" recording profile
@Cykloturista my colleagu
@Marek Scholtz will help you here.
Great new version! Haven't seen that many great new features in one version in a while!
One observation:
It's great that the charts can now be zoomed in up to 100m sections. However, the markers at the bottom are still at minimum 0.2km distance, so in higher zoom you loose track of where you are. The marker at the current position at least has 0.1km accuracy, although in this case it would be nice to go down to 1m accuracy. Same for Time on X-Axis: Could show seconds for high zooms.

Oh, one more thing: When I pan the track such that the marker should move out on one side, it stays at the edge. Which would be ok, but the flyout still shows the values from before starting the pan. The screenshot shows additional problems: Flyout overlaying the "Zoom 100%" button and the tick marker on the X axis having "..."
Generally, I think the "Zoom 100%" button should be moved to the +/- buttons - it makes no sense to have that on each charts separately, as all zoom together anyway.

Hi, your issue should be fixed in the next release. Give it a try when it's available and let us know. Thanks!

Sichtbarkeit von Kreuzungen > Hmm, guter Punkt, aber wie lässt sich das umsetzen? Die Standard-Navigationsfarben funktionieren hier recht gut. Die benutzerdefinierten Farben werden auf die gesamte Strecke angewendet, daher sind diese Kreuzungen nicht mehr so deutlich wie zuvor. Und da ich zuerst die gesamte Kontur und dann die gesamte Füllung zeichnen muss (hauptsächlich aus Performancegründen), sehe ich hier keine einfache Lösung.
Automatische Verbindung > Normalerweise verwende ich zwei Methoden:
- Direkter Zugriff auf den ,,Sensoren-Manager" auf der Kartenansicht, daher nur drei Klicks zum Aktivieren.
- Und hauptsächlich ist die automatische Verbindung im Aufnahmeprofil aktiviert. Ich habe also eine Reihe von Sensoren am Fahrrad, die sich immer verbinden, wenn ich das Aufnahmeprofil ,,Fahrrad" starte.
It's too bad that displaying intersections doesn't work the same way as in the standard navigation yet. But maybe a solution will come along eventually.
The automatic connection of the sensor via the recording profile works great—thanks.
The idea of pinning the graph is a great solution.
Problem seems to be related to my device's lack of RAM. Tested briefly on another phone with more RAM and the lockup is gone. Time for a new phone 😉.

New Beta 4.35.0.1 out now with some changes and improvements (thanks @Menion).
In case anyone would like to give them a go.
You are fast. How have you noticed so quickly? :)
4.35.0.1 si out. I'm spending a lot of time on some internal maintenance, so no serious changes are visible now. Which is usually good. I hope all will work correctly, because the change in the app settings is really, really huge (internally).
Have a nice weekend.
Version 4.35.0.1 (10.7.2026)
- chg: whole settings screens and UI items rebuilt into modern maintainable system
- add: (SILVER) a "Friends" tab on the geocache logs screen shows which of your geocaching friends found the cache
- add: choose which photo folders are visible in the geotagged media overlay — each folder can be toggled individually
- chg: (SILVER) your geocaching friends now come automatically from your geocaching.com friends list instead of a manual in-app list
- chg: support for the predictive back gesture on Android 13 and newer
- chg: coordinate system support now uses the PROJ library directly, covering a much wider range of EPSG codes with more accurate transformations
- chg: hardware button actions can now be assigned by pressing the button directly in the settings dialog
- chg: doubled the width of tracks on previews
- fix: cloud sync no longer stalls when a track or point is too large to upload — it skips the oversized item and shows a notification naming it
- fix: photos attached to a geocache log now appear in the same order as on the website
- fix: (SILVER) image map calibrator — portrait photos now load upright instead of sideways, and the calibration-point preview is larger and only shown when picking the matching spot on the base map
- fix: memory leak when opening item previews in the map items manager
- fix: sensitive account data is no longer written to diagnostic logs, and encrypted data handling is more robust
- fix: rare crash when the parking reminder started while the app was in the background
- fix: crash in landscape while a side panel was opening or closing
- fix: rare crash on the loading screen during app start
- fix: crash when opening a point with a very long description above the map
- fix: crash when starting a live-tracking session
- fix: crash when exporting points to KMZ if a folder icon could not be loaded
- fix: crash when displaying a track or route chart with a flat value range
- fix: sluggish track chart on tracks with a very large number of waypoints
- fix: several expert settings (e.g. geocaching waypoint zoom level) no longer silently reset to old values after each app restart
- fix: no longer working "Waypoint line width" settings
- fix: picture-in-picture window not opening during navigation on newer Android versions
- chg: updated Android Gradle Plugin, build toolchain, and various libraries to latest versions
Good impression as of Geotagged Photos.
Small issue.
Go from small chart to Fullscreen chart view. Click somewhere on chart. Click map button on top. The map is on the new position, but the again now visible small chart has not its line refreshed.
MyLibrary > long tap any recorded track > there is no bottom menu?? I can't move any tracks in bulk.

Version 4.35.0.2 published.
Thanks Andrew, serious issue, fixed.
"Full reload" > only Beta version function (so no translation), but at least should be removed the "T:", agree.
Po aktualizaci na verzi 4.35.0.2 přestal fungovat import gpx, zobrazí se hláška V souboru nelze najít žádné importovatelne body nebo trasy, opravdu chcete zobrazit tento bod na mapě? Ne - Zobrazit
Tohle dřív fungovalo a když už to tedy píše, že není co zobrazit, proč mi to dává volbu zobrazit?
Přikládám soubor, který se snažím s LM otevřít.
Two bugs:
1) 4.35.0.2 can't display simple kml (from "Active items") - it turns off "eye" button jist after I turn it on. Current release (4.35.0) ok with this file. Try it with attached file.
2) Overlay pannel shows "No map selected" after after turn off and on main switch: https://photos.app.goo.gl/BBhnnXRKqPZ27R216
Current release has this bug too.
4.35.0.2: select preset... very briefly displays orange warning. This is a new warning but not very useful - which option? and map rotation for the selected present IS on
it is displayed only briefly so had to do a screen recording

Same here.
Hi guys, thanks for the brave testing!
@3am & @Erelen
problem with import > new issue in case, file is smaller than 1kb. Thanks for the samples. It will be fixed in the next version.
"No map selected" > I'll look at it, thanks.

Quote from: Tapio on July 17, 2026, 17:37:57on ZL22 it shows a white vertical overlay, half the screen width
Yes.
And one more high zoom related problem: on z21+ every selected track appear completely black, no matter what display style they are set to.
Example: https://photos.app.goo.gl/JTxyw2TfcUUCGhTS9
Situation: Library is open, a track panel is shown.
What do you think about that dual behaviour - I think it's useful:
a) Go back (Android): No change. Go back to library.
b) Swipe panel down: Leave library and go into map view - with that last track shown and centered.
Same with points.
Just noticed that Map Overlays are not stored anymore when turning off:
Previously, I could turn off overlay and then turn it on again, and the previous overlay was restored.
Now, everytime I turn overlay on, I have to select the overlay I want again. Quite annoying. Not sure, with which version that started, though.
I'm also having problems with the overlay. I had a Strava Headmap online overlay. It's gone now. I tried to select it again, but it won't work. I also noticed an error message.
@Graf Geo
Augmented reality crash > thanks, fixed
@Tapio
white overlay > interesting, I've never noticed it. I've hopefully found a reason for this. Let me know if fix helped also on your side.
Dual return from point/track screen > too unpredictable on me. Use "center" button to get quickly to the main map screen.
@Erelen
track at high zoom level > this is old performance optimisation. Android had trouble with long tracks drawn with symbols at high zoom level, so the symbols are disabled.
@slarti76
Map overlay > give a try in the next version.
@freischneider
map problem > hmm, it seems like a problem of the app loading a certain map. Could you share the map with me? Thanks.
I have too many vacations till mid of August, so excuse my slower reactions :)
Anyway, Locus Map 4.35.0.3 if anyone is interested.

I have reported an error to the help desk. Should I post it here as well?
Thanks, Mark
- white overlay in vector maps on high zoom
- problem with small kml
- "No map selected" in overlay pannel after off-on
All of them is ok in 4.35.0.3! Thanks!
Black tracks on high zoom - now they has right coloring. Thanks! Right colors, but no arrows - this is a reasonable compromise.
- fix: main menu no longer visibly jumps when opening
The main menu now appears very smoothly (I don't remember if I noticed any issues before). But the Map-screeen content menu always appears jerkily (the problem appeared not in the current beta, but much, much earlier). Example: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ndobf2KU8QuDo8x49
@Mark_Again
you have used "Upload to support" option from the app? Then yes, "ID" of the report + short info about the problem (optional) is useful. Thanks.
@Erelen
"Map screen content" uses the old solution in the background. There has always been this problem, and I believe it will be improved over time, once we change how this panel is handled in the background.

Here is a link to the help desk and the response. I'm not sure if this is what you need. Please let me know if I can provide anything else.
https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/40802-error-when-searching-other-poi
Thank you, Mark
Hi Mark,
but this problem should already be solved in the recent app version. You still have this problem, and the "back" press returns to the main map screen instead of the "Search screen" with the active top-right menu?
Search/OtherPOIs causes error.
Pressing the back arrow twice brings back the search options. Perhaps this is normal.
Thank you, Mark
Quote from: Menion on July 24, 2026, 20:20:52- fix: (SILVER) map overlay panel showed "No map selected" after turning the overlay switch off and back on
Confirmed, thx!
Quote from: Mark_Again on July 25, 2026, 22:07:24Search/OtherPOIs causes error.
What sort of error? For me, 'Search/Other POIs' opens the page with the search term input field just as normal.
The only thing that's been a bit of a nuisance recently is this:
I go to the global search. After clicking the hamburger menu in the top right-hand corner, the selection page with search locations, co-apps, etc. opens a bit jerkily or with a flicker.
I guess that what I expect to see is the hamburger menu at the top right. If I click on the 0 the search closes. I can get back to the hamburger menu by clicking the back arrow twice. I'm probably confused.
Thanks, Mark
Geocaching tools
- search for geocaches
- select what you want and start search
- after download, geocaching tools window open ::) nothing more...
- with back button expected import window open
:P
I'm posting this here for now rather than on the helpdesk, as this version is still being further improved.
In version 4.35, a new dialogue box was introduced for selecting the folders from which geotagged media are displayed. The advantage of this is that you can now select any folder via the system file manager. However, it has the disadvantage – which I find very annoying – that I have to navigate through the folder structure every time to temporarily show or hide a specific folder. I have numerous folders whose images I sometimes only want to view briefly on the map so as not to overload it. Be it specific holidays, OSM documentation or whatever.
It would be nice if you could mark certain folders as favourites so that you could enable or disable them more quickly. These could appear on the first page of the folder structure; there's plenty of space there.
Alternatively, the 5–10 most recently selected folders could be displayed there, so that they can be selected or deselected more quickly.
Hi,
I hope everyone is alive in these hot days ...
New version has two big refactorings (Point screen & color picker), so I've also left the previous 4.35.0.3 in case of any serious problem.
Version 4.35.0.4 (8.8.2026)
- add: color picker now offers palettes, a shade grid and exact RGB, HSV or hex values, with opacity and recent colors
- chg: line style, dashboard and drawing screens now open the same color picker as the rest of the app
- chg: point detail screen redesigned to match the track screen, with better use of space on large displays
- chg: improved support for tablet layouts in geocache filter, device info and app updates dialogs
- fix: geocache logs list could crash in rare cases when a GPX import left multiple logs without an ID
- fix: map cursor stayed centered instead of the preset's shifted position when navigation started from a track opened above the map
- fix: guide line, distance and time to target could freeze during guidance and navigation while you kept moving
- fix: guidance to a point no longer announces arrival at the moment it starts, which also silenced the notification when you really arrived
- fix: a downloaded item could occasionally fail to open or import right after the download finished
- fix: (SILVER) live map no longer shows a repeating connection warning while panning the map without an internet connection (e.g. flight mode)
- fix: track detail no longer shows outdated elevation gain/loss after recalculating a track's elevation
- fix: (SILVER) crash when opening track detail from a dashboard after stopping recording
- fix: crash when searching for a place from the live tracking chat
- fix: hidden import dialog when importing geocaches over search
- chg: map overlay photo/video folder picker now reopens in the last folder you browsed
I think, for better awareness about the color, the color field itself could be bigger. It's a bit small. IMO in that screen there should be a clickable, seemless transitions color palette with a full width preview.
Quote from: Menion on August 08, 2026, 01:18:36I hope everyone is alive in these hot days ...
am flying over for 6 weeks Czechia cycling from our Tasmanian winter next week; Czechia seems to be a little cooler next week but it will be a temperature shock ;-)
Thanks for the new beta!
Track Details Panel: the recalculation of elevation data is now updated immediately (see helpdesk (https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/40982-wrong-information-after-correction-of-altitude)).
Unfortunately, this does not apply to changes to the elevation threshold (slider). Here, you still need to close and reopen the panel to see the change...
"map overlay photo/video folder picker now reopens in the last folder you browsed": better, but favourites would still be useful. If you need a completely different folder, you still have to laboriously work your way through everything.
Yet another bug with LoPoint photos:
When I view a LoPoint photo from the user's gallery (whether it's mine or another user's) and click on the LoPoint icon, the panel with the detailed view opens.
Unfortunately, the map preview isn't displayed correctly. Depending on the map selected, a white or light blue background appears. This is because the coordinates 0°/0° are always passed, which is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
See screenshot.
Note: The error occurs in the current beta version 4.35.0.4; it worked normally in the previous version 4.35.0.3.
probably not this latest beta, but has anyone noticed/ can confirm, once MyLibrary folders are sorted manually, it is no longer possible to sort by the auto methods eg. Name | Distance | Created? I find when I select "Name" none of the folder change order; or Reverse sorting; only manual makes any difference.
The current beta version 4.35.0.4 is quite buggy:
The global search doesn't work. No matter what I search for – for example, a town – nothing happens. The search window closes and the map stays where it was.
It works in version 4.35.0.3.
4.35.0.4 a Ostatní POI.
Pokud rozkliknu v seznamu POI pro zobrazení detailu, tak Locus buď spadne, nebo se zobrazí černá obrazovka a pak se vrátí na mapu v místě, kde jsem byl při volání této funkce.
V 4.35.0.3 to bylo OK.
Quote from: Graf Geo on August 10, 2026, 10:30:39The global search doesn't work. No matter what I search for – for example, a town – nothing happens.
Works for me.
Hmm, that's odd. It doesn't work for me. Global search.
The map is centred on Berlin. I search for Sylt. Nothing happens. The red marker with the arrow doesn't appear either.
When I manually move the map to Sylt, I can see that the Sylt icon is highlighted. So the place has been found, but the map doesn't jump to it.
It works with the other search options (offline addresses, the old Google search, etc.).
Reistalled beta ...03, global search works.
Installed again ...04, doesn't work...

"quite buggy" - quite a strong term; but yes, I have similar experience - search (places & addresses) > known-place > displayed in list > tap > no change of map. On the other hand, search for a category instead of known-place appears to work.
Hi guys,
thanks for the reports. Some of them are already fixed. But unfortunately, I have another small family vacation till the Sunday, and the current code isn't stable enough to publish here. So sorry, new bug-fix version next week, not this one.
Have a nice day, and wish us in Central Europe at least a little rain ...
Hello Menion,
Familly is very important, and vacation also.
Have a nice vacation.
Finally a new Beta version ... ::)
Locus Map 4.35.0.5
- fix: track line coloured by speed, slope, heart rate or power drew a straight connector across two adjacent breaks
- fix: (SILVER) Bosch e-bike (Smart System) now shows up when adding an e-bike sensor, and Locus starts the Bluetooth pairing itself instead of requiring it to be set up beforehand
- fix: (SILVER) track statistics showed the stride sensor's total count instead of the strides made during the track
- fix: ascent and descent totals came out short on tracks recorded with a pause, and on trimmed tracks
- fix: ascent and descent shown for a tapped trackpoint ignored recording pauses and left out the last section
- fix: uphill and downhill statistics came out short on tracks saved with "Save actual part"
- fix: elevation gain and length of a route part counted the gap across a recording pause
- fix: length and time of a merged track no longer count recording pauses from the original tracks
- fix: a recording pause right next to another one could disappear when a track was trimmed, split or merged
- fix: crash when picking a function for the main menu or the function panel
- chg: picker for overlapping map items is now a dialog with a Cancel button
- chg: OpenHikingMap online map removed on request of its owner
- chg: reworked internal system of one-time hints
- chg: split "Stop when standing still" settings into Navigation and Guidance
- chg: Mapillary now display more relevant and also panorama images
- fix: sorting overlapping map items by last update showed the oldest ones first
- fix: map controls and the item panel in the Locus Store map were partly hidden behind the navigation bar
- fix: area highlighted on the Locus Store map stayed visible after closing the item panel
- fix: navigation could get stuck on "Waiting for GPS" and the GPS icon stayed orange on devices with turned off Google Location Accuracy, even with a perfect satellite fix
- fix: track editor — the map stopped shifting for the bottom panel after the panel was hidden once
- fix: route planner inserted a new point between the wrong two route points
- fix: (SILVER) geocaching "Import displayed" did nothing when the live map used the built-in "All caches" or "All caches, but found" filter
- fix: synchronisation could skip items when a point or track was edited while the sync was running
- fix: invalid visible "pace" values in the Dashboard + more reliable format of values out of range
- fix: not working setup of the text size in Dashboard charts
Quote- fix: navigation could get stuck on "Waiting for GPS" and the GPS icon stayed orange on devices with turned off Google Location Accuracy, even with a perfect satellite fix
Nice. How does it work now? Without GLA?
In 4.35.0
Draw a route in route planner -> call guidance from within route planner -> 'guide reversely' is hidden in settings by default -> start guidance -> stop guidance -> track is gone.
Guide reversely is not a setting. Its an option and should not be hidden.
Track should stay in Route Planner as long as not deleted by the user.
Thanks for the new beta.
Fixed:LoPoint photos map preview is working again now. 🙂
Fixed: global search works fine again. 👍
Nit fixed: changes to the elevation threshold (slider). Here, you still need to close and reopen the panel to see the change.
I haven't tested any more than that yet.

But I've just noticed that the settings dialogue is freezing. For example, if I change the speed by moving the slider, the change isn't applied until I close and reopen the settings dialogue. The same applies to the other parameters.
Hello Menion,
please bring back the manual colourfunction of gradient/slope in the route planner. Grey is the only colour I see in flatlands. I don't like to plan anymore, because the route in grey is nearly unvisible in flatlands. I've always set it to 5 percent and every small hill was visible. But now I don't like this formerly beloved function anymore. Hopefully this is possible in the updated route planner.
Kind regards
Jochen
Také se přimlouvám přidat možnost nastavení zobrazení sklonu tak jako to bylo dřív.
Měl jsem nastaveno přebarvovování šipek až od 4%. Zajímá mně pouze zobrazení větších stoupání na trase.
To, že pojedu po rovině nebo budu klesat je pro mne nepodstatný údaj.
Hi guys,
you miss here my answers, sorry. The issue in the route planner parameters is fixed, the rest isn't. Will look at it next week.
Meanwhile, I've tried to finalise some tasks, and here is a little longer result:
Version 4.35.0.6 (4.9.2026)
- add: (SILVER) step counter — Locus can now count your steps using the phone itself, no extra sensor needed
- add: step count is now included in exported FIT files
- chg: Bosch e-bike support is temporarily unavailable — Bosch has since published its data interface, and it needs a different way of connecting than we first built, so we are reworking it
- add: guidance and navigation panel fields can now show any dashboard value, including remaining elevation gain and loss
- add: a third value field in the guidance and navigation panel when the screen is wide enough, e.g. in landscape
- add: augmented reality view now also shows nearby places from the LoPoints service, so summits and landmarks are named even when they are not on the map
- add: augmented reality view warns when something nearby is bending the compass reading, or when the compass needs calibrating
- fix: points in the augmented reality view now stay on the place they mark - on some phones they were spread up to a third too wide
- fix: points in the augmented reality view no longer lag behind the camera image while you turn the phone
- fix: a nearer point in the augmented reality view is now drawn over a more distant one behind it
- fix: augmented reality view no longer shows the map behind it for a moment while the screen rotates
- chg: a route warning now stays visible in the navigation panel after the last direction change, instead of disappearing with it
- chg: step counts are now labelled "steps" instead of "strides" — the number itself is unchanged
- chg: speed in the guidance and navigation panel now comes from GPS, not from a paired speed sensor
- chg: point and track edit attachments panel now shows photos in a full-screen gallery, and flags missing files
- chg: downloading a file from OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox now shows progress and can be cancelled
- chg: a download started from a link now shows the transferred and total size instead of a percentage
- fix: arrival time is no longer shown as the current clock time when the remaining time is not known
- fix: (SILVER) dashboard distance and time to the next point stayed empty while guiding along a track without navigation instructions
- fix: (SILVER) vertical speed in the dashboard stayed empty while descending
- fix: a value just below zero showed as "-0,0" in languages that write decimals with a comma
- fix: (SILVER) track statistics showed the sensor's total count instead of the steps made during the track
- fix: track statistics could misplace a recording pause when recalculated after editing details or updating elevation
- fix: (SILVER) track split (interval) distance and time could be wrong for the leg right after a recording pause
- fix: elevation loss stayed empty in track statistics and in the route planner on tracks descending more than 1000 m
- fix: FIT export could show course points (navigation cues) at the wrong distance along the route
- fix: FIT export no longer adds two unwanted start and finish course points to tracks without navigation
- fix: a pause right at the start of a recording could be drawn as a continuous line instead of a gap
- fix: automatic pause of track recording did not work on Android 7 to 11
- fix: automatic pause of track recording could stop working until the app was restarted
- fix: track editor could crash if you kept extending "Delete all before/after" until it would remove the whole track
- fix: (SILVER) crash after a Specialized e-bike sensor disconnected
- fix: (SILVER) Bluetooth sensors could stop connecting until the app was restarted
- fix: USB GPS receiver connects right after you allow access, instead of after a delay
- fix: a USB sensor no longer renames itself to an internal device path
- fix: renaming a sensor now updates the list straight away, without reopening it
- fix: the local map server's map preview now works without an internet connection
- fix: the local map server screen now reports when the device has no Wi-Fi or hotspot address, instead of staying on "Starting..."
- fix: purchased offline maps could show "unknown problem" tiles when the app started without internet
- fix: a failed download from OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox reported only "Whoops!" and left an incomplete file behind
- fix: a download from OneDrive or Google Drive could fail on a slow connection
- fix: (SILVER) a download of an elevation file or a geocaching list could fail on a slow connection
- fix: cancelling the copy of a map item now stops it right away, instead of letting the current file finish in the background
- fix: copying a map item could show a nonsense progress value
- fix: (GOLD) LoRouter Offline routing data download could show a negative progress value
little longer result - I'd say "going for the record"
New beta 4.35.0.6 (thanks):
Settings > GPS & sensors > Sensors Manager > blue Plus Button: Locus crashes
Thanks. Found a few more issues during yesterday field-test.
Version 4.35.0.7 (6.9.2026)
- add: any point can now be shown in the augmented reality view - pick it from the point's navigation menu and it stands out there the way a guidance target does
- chg: points in the augmented reality view shrink more gradually with distance, so distant places no longer all appear the same size
- chg: navigation and guidance notifications now have their own channel, so their sound and importance can be set separately
- fix: crash because of removed Bosch bike support
- fix: the distance to the next turn no longer stretches down the whole navigation panel
- fix: (GOLD) Android Auto navigation no longer shows two notifications on the phone
- fix: (GOLD) a paired watch no longer buzzes every second during Android Auto navigation
- fix: queued downloads and sync now resume when you reopen the app
GC "Live" map now does not display my caches correctly. They do not have the "sun" icon, but are displayed with the regular icon. Found caches are displayed correctly with the "smile" icon.
Same when using Geocaching4Locus.
Version 4.35.07
I tried another phone with version 4.34 and it is OK.
Hi guys,
another list of more or less minor fixes. I hope, the app will be stable and there will be no reason not to start preparing the next big version next week. Enjoy the weekend.
Version 4.35.0.8 (11.9.2026)
- add: (SILVER) Bosch e-bike support is back, now also with the assist mode and motor power
- chg: (SILVER) adding a Bluetooth sensor with nothing paired now says where to pair it
- add: step count is now included in exported GPX and TCX files, and read back on GPX import
- add: an arrow at the edge of the augmented reality view points the way to turn when the place you are heading to is off screen
- add: the augmented reality view menu can hide the map's own points or the online LoPoints, so you can see just one or the other
- chg: points in the augmented reality view glide to each new position instead of jumping, most noticeable when you stand close to one
- chg: the screen no longer dims while the augmented reality view is open
- fix: navigation stayed silent the second time a route passed the same roundabout or junction
- fix: crash when importing or editing a route with many waypoints
- fix: an interrupted download no longer leaves a notification keeping the device awake
- fix: (SILVER) automatic zooming switched itself back on every time the app was started
- fix: coordinates could not be typed in for a point that had none, e.g. a geocache waypoint
- fix: (SILVER) a geocache logged as not found on the web or in the Geocaching app now shows that way here too
- fix: maps and coordinates in a national coordinate system are no longer shifted by up to a few hundred metres
- fix: (SILVER) a WMTS map whose tile grid is described in degrees no longer stays blank

Please check the app settings > Geocaching > Your (owner's) name option. It still use the old way - manually defined name.
Had a bad end of a ride yesterday :(
Some Versions ago Locus started some strange behavior and let disappear all the icons from the bars
After a app restart all icons appeared again - most of the time.
Yesterday on a very long ride using Locus with guidance all the icons disappeared, the guidance box up left disappeard, the track colors were gone, the arrow pointer was gone, mostly no dashboards, the map rotation was unpredictable, the map did not move when driving, no tap possible nowhere, the track was flickering the whole time, the whole app was not usable anymore. Multiple restarts of the app and even the phone did not solve the problem. So of course I missed a couple of turns, did some extra miles and lost a lot of time and the good mood :(
There were no crashes of the app, behaviour of the rest of the phone was normal.
My suspicion is that there is an issue with lack of memory or memory overflow in LM. Since the introduction of the new graphs in track details and i.e. the new window for guidance, LM has been really slow, laggy and flickery.
Using A8 on S7, LM 4.35.0
In the screenshot the white band with black outlines is the track.
@Menion - would you please analyze this carefully and fix this?! I don't want to expierence such a situation anymore. Standing in the middle of nowhere a couple of hundred kilometers away from home without a map and navigation is really annoying.
New function in 4.35.0
pin the chart on the track detail screen so only the chart and the map stay visible;
doesn't shrink the detail windows any more since last 3 or 4 beta versions
I don't like surface/way types to be pinned with it, but that's personal preference.
A click on the arrow as in screenshot, also in the pinned state, tends to CTD LM.
Happened also in the last beta. I think it's happening with self-created tracks, which may include some fake values? Screenshot2 shows such a track, where sometimes it crashes. I can see it only building the top 2 graphs, then crashes.
@Tapio
I only have silver status, so no way types are shown, Don't know if that's the reasonScreenshot_1.jpg
Reproducible bug observed in 4.35.0.8:
In track editor, "Insert/Edit trackpoint" will remove all gaps in the editable area.

Yes, the problem was in the settings. I entered my nickname and it's fine now. But I definitely hadn't deleted it before...
My wish:
I often need to show or hide an entire folder of caches. Currently, this requires two clicks:
1. Click the "eye" button.
2. Click "Display all" or "Hide all."
It would be faster to simply long-press the "eye" button to toggle the state. Without moving my finger ;)
Thanks
@Christian
sorry to read about your experience. It may be a memory problem. S7 is quite old and on the edge of what may be enough to run the app. It is not just about "some charts...". In the background, the code has grown together with external libs etc. It is a natural progression that can't be stopped.
Anyway, back to the problem > what I need is ... something. A log? The best is a long-click on the main menu > "Upload to support" at the moment, any problem happens. Without it, I have nothing to check, sorry.
@Gerhard57
I'm unable to simulate your issue with the empty space below the charts. In some of the recent Beta versions ws a change in how this is computed, so it is probably already solved.
@Tapio
any track that leads to crash > share it please with Track detail > Share > Share by link. Thanks.
@slarti76
missing gaps > thanks, fixed
@Cyklo Miro
lost "owner name" > I need to remove this setting and use simply the logged-in user. Later
long click on the eye > well, it won't be clear what this action will do without looking at the stats to see if anything is already loaded or if all is already loaded. So rather now for now.

I have now installed beta 4.35.0.8 on second device
Samsung Tab S9+ ONE UI 8.5 Android 16 security patch 5.8.2026 => error as described
Nokia 7.1 Android 10 security patch 1.11.2021 => pin the chart o.k.

Sorry, the app was not responsive in this particular moment. So no log :(
May be it will not happen again in the near future. I ordered a Bike Computer for testing.
Quote from: Christian on August 22, 2026, 08:09:00In 4.35.0
Draw a route in route planner -> call guidance from within route planner -> 'guide reversely' is hidden in settings by default -> start guidance -> stop guidance -> track is gone.
Guide reversely is not a setting. Its an option and should not be hidden.
Track should stay in Route Planner as long as not deleted by the user.
@Menion - did you read this?
Hello Menion, this change was introduced in version 4.35:
" chg: the auto-pause and 'Record only when moving' options are now a single 'Movement detection' setting (record continuously / drop points whilst stopped / auto-pause)"
I've been testing 'auto-pause' for the first time over the last few days. In principle, it works perfectly, but:
I've noticed that there are numerous gaps in my recorded tracks, even though I haven't taken any breaks. At least, none that I would describe as such. 😉 The reason is that even a very brief stop triggers the pause. I checked it out and it happens after just about 15 seconds! That means briefly reading a sign, taking a photo, tying your shoelaces, waiting at a traffic light, etc. – all of these are interpreted as a pause. And suddenly I've got a gap in my track. In my opinion, that's not the point of the feature.
I'd suggest increasing the time limit to at least one or two minutes – the point at which you can actually call it a proper break.
What do you (or the others) think?
and finally incorporate the accelerometer sensor for more accurate detection of being paused/ stationary/ no movement - could then be extended to avoid unnecessary & disorientating rotation when paused - compare to Google Maps which makes it look so beautiful

Yeah, I also noticed the trigger time to be rather short. Not sure about 15s, but it any case should be customizable.

My idea is the same as the one for showing/hiding waypoints for a cache: a single long click shows or hides
all waypoints, regardless of whether some are already partially visible or hidden.. BTW, that was a request of mine, too, and I use it often ;)

But then I don't know which function a long press will trigger. It's clear when they alternate, but I can't remember the last action.
Suggestion: If some are shown, a long press should hide them all.
If none are shown, a long press should show them all.

Good idea! Yes, that is exactly how cache waypoints currently respond to a long press - for example, 3/4 -> 0/4 -> 4/4 -> 0/4.
The same approach could be applied to managing the entire cache directory.
Hi guys,
I'll read your comments during (rather after) the weekend, promise :).
Closing this topic now. New version 4.36.0 (https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=9736.0) has just been generated and published. It will also take some time to Google team to confirm it and because of the number of changes, I'd rather push it to just a small portion of users. Feel free to install it from Google Drive.
Thanks, all for your help and I hope you had a nice time during the summer days!
