Title: Auto switch from dashboard to map on navigation
Post by: sonymaster on July 11, 2026, 21:11:55
Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a way to reduce power consumption on OLED devices while using Locus Map 4 for navigation.

My ideal setup would be to keep a detached dashboard with a mostly black background visible during navigation (showing information like speed, distance to the next maneuver, etc.) to save battery. Then, whenever a navigation instruction is about to occur, Locus would automatically switch to the map for a few seconds and afterwards return to the detached dashboard.

Is there any way to achieve this with Locus Map itself, or perhaps using presets, Tasker, MacroDroid, or another workaround?

If this isn't currently possible, what workflow do you recommend for minimizing power consumption on OLED displays while still having the map available when it's actually needed?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
