Feature Requests:
There are two items (only) that I think could be improved.
1. Map view in tracking mode: When I am in tracking mode I can switch with the bezel between screens/data fields, but I cannot see a map view. I have to go out of the tracking mode (while tracking continues), and go into the map view and then back. This is quiet cumbersome. Could you display a map view also in tracking mode?
2. Elevation Profile: My use case with Locus Map and the watch app, is the following: I plan a route with the phone app and then I follow the route during the actual hike using the watch app. What I would like to see is the current and planned elevation profile in the tracking mode (with possible zoom in using the bezel). This way I can easily the climbs ahead...

I always see that the map/position is not updated when I look at the watch. (caused me to take the wrong turn a couple of time). The watch display switches off after about 8 seconds which is not enough for the watch to connect and update the map and the latest position.  The display timeout is set to a1minute, but I believe because I use the Wake up gesture the display switches of so quickly. When I now switched off the wake up Gesture, the map and position refreshes in about 12 seconds. So I believe we should not use the watch wake up gesture, but a timeout of at least 30 seconds.
An idea: maybe you could display some kind of message or animation that the map/position is being refreshed.
