Hello @alexs77

by default, the app closes by double-clicking the back button. Give it a try in the moment, no navigation/track recording etc. is running. Just keep "Confirm on exit" preferences disabled (default).

By this, the app closes completely. It really stops the whole Locus Map process and terminates all inner services.

What happens to you is a visible confirmation dialog that informs about the fact, something is running and the app does not want to terminate this service (in your case "Navigation") without the confirmation.

Usually, there is a "home" button in the bottom system navigation panel. In your case, it is probably not visible because of the active lock screen.

Hello @Menion

Thanks for your explanation. Can you confirm, that there is no way to get rid of this annoying popup and have Locus just always minimize? I never want it to stop. Especially not, when I'm using it for navigation.

That's also why there's no home button visible — app was running and phone locked. That suspicion of yours was correct.

Dunno, but that's not working for me. Is it working for anyone?



Should it behave like this? I have that setting disabled but still get the prompt. Before I tried this in the morning, I wiped the cache and force quit the app.

How can I get rid of this question?

Expert settings > first setting on the top
(Confirm on exit)

Found it now, with some more help 😊

It's still asking — maybe I need to quit it once for real?

Without that prompt, will it then minimize or stop?

Hmm, where do I find this?

Hello

On Android, when I am in Locus and hit the back button to get to the lock screen or "main" screen of Android, Locus will always ask whether I'd like it to minimize or stop it.

That's freaking annoying, as it is one more and to me always useless interaction: I always want to minimize it


How can I get rid of this question?

Done.

Everyone, please upvote my suggestion => Get surface type for imported routes

Hey

When I draw a route in LocusMap, it shows the surface type and also what kind of road that is. That information is missing, when a route is imported from GPX, FIT, ....

Is there a way to make LocusMap get that information afterwards (other than trying to draw the exact same route again)?

See this picture: You cannot view this attachment.

- On the left, there's the original route, as drawn in LocusMap.
- On the right, I exported the GPX (see You cannot view this attachment.) and imported it right away again. The surfce type ("Asphalt") and type of road ("Verbindungsstrasse") is missing.

Thanks.

Hallo

Gibt es eine einfache Möglichkeit, auf einmal mehrere der SwissTopo Karten (oder gar für die ganze Schweiz...) runterzuladen? Immer erst eine Karte/Region anzuwählen und dann zurück zum Map Manager und die nächste, das ist "mühsam".

Danke

Hello

I've got a new phone, an "OPPO Reno8 Pro 5G" aka CPH2357 with ColorOS 13.9, ie. Android 13.

On this phone, I installed Locus Map 4.15.2 (Beta). When I start it, I get the info screen "App data in unsupported directory" and it wants me to confirm to move data.

But there isn't anything to move - it's a new installation.

So I click on "change directory" and confirm the shown otherwise empty directory. But then it complains that this is not the right directory.

Well - what to do, please?

Hello

Is the CyclOSM map available in Locus Map?

If not, how would I add it?

They write:

A Tile Map Service is available at

Code Select Expand

https://{s}.tile-cyclosm.openstreetmap.fr/[cyclosm|cyclosm-lite]/{z}/{x}/{y}.pngunder a fairuse tile policy.

Thanks.

Does auto update not work on your phone, or do you choose not to use it?

Sent from my moto g(6) plus using Tapatalk

it works, most of the time, but every so often gets stuck, it seems. it is enabled.

there is no choice for the user, sadly.

as mentioned you can turn off auto updates

As mentioned, this won't stop Play Store from updating, when the "Install all updates" button is pushed. And as my phone, for whatever reason, often has a long list of pending updates (at the moment: 14), I kind of have to push that button.

LM4 & LM3-free both share the same app ID (for better or worse). You can only have one or the other installed, not both. Your choice.

yes, that's true. I don't want LM3 and I want Google Play Store to leave the LM4 alone. But as the id is identical and as the version number of LM4 is lower than the one of LM3, Play Store will "update".

there is no choice for the user, sadly.

Devs, could you release a new version of LM4 with a higher version number? Something like 3.50, or so? That would be great

How can I prevent that from happening? I'd like to stay on the Locus Map 4 version.

open playstore/my apps > open LM FREE/ 3-dot top right/ disable " Enable auto-update"

thats my solution
Wolfgang

of course

thanks a lot.

but...

it still shows up in the list of apps that can be updated in play store. and when I push the "Update All" button, it would "update" it as well. So — no, this won't work for me 😭

I recently installed the latest version from this thread. This morning, when I started Locus, I found that the normal (non pro) version from the store had been installed (or "updated"?).

How can I prevent that from happening? I'd like to stay on the Locus Map 4 version.

Thanks.
