Your phone will turn off the GPS in standby.

Hi,

in addition to freischneiders post you should check the internal gps settings of Locus too.
Look here (https://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:settings:gps), especially here (https://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:settings:gps#disable_location).

I think the clear view cover from Samsung switches Locus tracking off when closed. When open all is ok.
The cover interacts with the smartphone by a magnetic surface which interacts with the smartphone.
Or it shields the gps antenna. I am not yet shure what is going on when closing the cover.
