Is it possible to change the scale in the bottom left hand corner to something more usual than 244m or 3.9km? Couldn't you make the line a few percent longer/shorter and get some values with at least a "0" at the end. 2.5% longer and change 244m to 250m, 18% shorter and change 61m to 50m and 122m to 100m etc... If it's dependent on the map and device find some way to round it dynamically.

The strange scale is the only thing that makes locus look a bit non-professional.

Locus is a great program, the best map viewer I've found for android and I've just bought it. But I'm missing two things:
 
 
The ability to search the nearest OpenStreetMap POIs online. Either by category (fast_food, fuel, etc.) or name.
(At least I couldn't find that function; I know I can search "Google Places" and "GeoNames and GNS.")
 
 
(I'd also like some kind of night mode: Even at lowest brightness setting the phones screen is still unnecessary bright when looking at the map at night (e.g. while geocaching at night). So if you would just add a 30% transparent black square over the whole screen or better yet change the maps brightness, contrast etc., this would have two advantages: You aren't blinded by the map that much and it even saves some power on AMOLED screens.)
