Thank you very much! Your support is f**king amazing!

Awesome, this version has speed of light again!
Ad buggy ROM: I have HTC Desire branded from T-Mobile so it is probably most shitty ROM that was ever created :evil:

I have Locus installed on SD card (class 10). I tried to move Locus to internal memory and it had no effect. Rotation and shifter center has no influence on speed, Locus is slow even at normal state. I tried to reset settings and it had no effect too.
It is interesting that if I have my finger on the screen, map moving is lagging, but when I move map fast and then put my finger off the screen, the map continues with moving smooth.

Hi, I have little problem with Locus. It was always very fast app and moving with map was perfectly smooth, but month or two ago map moving started to be little bit lagging. If I compare map moving speed with c:geo, c:geo moves map exactly under my finger (and Locus used to be like this too), but Locus nowadays makes only about 3-4 big steps when I move map for whole screen.
I tried to delete cache, hide all POIs, I tried online and offline maps, but result is always the same.
Is this only my problem? Can this be fixed or is it caused by some setting?
My phone: HTC Desire

Thank you in advance!

First of all I should probably say that I use HTC Desire.

1. Yeah, that's true. But when I'm in some "notepad app" (namely ColorNote) and I have open some note where I write formula and press back button, it will first close that note, second press will close ColorNote and switch back to Locus. It just moves the problem to another app, where I have to open that note every time. What I was talking about was switching between apps by long press home button and selecting recently running app.
2. Enable your system GPS, run Locus, make sure Lucus GPS option is enabled, close Locus, disable system GPS, run Locus, Locus GPS option is still enabled, close Locus, enable system GPS option, run Locus, Locus GPS option is disabled now.
3., 4. Specific procedure to achieve this bug: Open Locus, enable some Layer(s) with POIs, close Locus, run c:geo, open cache position by Locus, Locus will start, displays map at old position, render old layer (it takes ~1s depends on number of POIs), moves map to render cache from c:geo, but previously rendered layer stays at exactly same position on screen. This bug started several weeks ago (I don't know exactly), but rendering previously layer before move map to final position is present since c:geo can open map in Locus (not 100% sure, but I think so).
5. Thank you!
6. I use default HTC Calendar.
7., 8. Aah, right. Maybe some external unofficial plugin could do this.
9. I don't think that Locus needs GC.com credentials for this function. What I mean is that Locus could open only previously imported cache - not to download the new one.

Hi, first of all I want to thank you for this amazing piece of software!
I have some bug reports and wishes that could make this application even more awesome

• Most annoying bug for me: when I open listing for some cache in Locus then switch to another application and then switch to Locus back, the Listing of this cache is closed and I see only map. It is really annoying for multi cache: when i need to solve formula for final coordinates, I need to write down formula to some "notepad" app. But I cannot copy&paste from listing and I don't remember whole formula. So I need to switch many times to rewrite whole formula and every time I do so, Locus closes the listing  :twisted:. So please fix this bug and if you want to make me really happy, make sentences from listing copy-able or bring any other solution for solving coordinates.
• I don't understand how enabling and disabling GPS works in Locus. I use widget on homescreen that can enables and disables Wi-Fi, GPS etc. so I want for Locus to use GPS every time it is enabled. But Locus sometimes disables its internal option for GPS, so I have to go to another screen to enable this option - and it is for no reason. I just want this option not to disable itself.
• When i open cache from c:geo, the icon will display on correct position on map, but all other layers that I have displayed are shifted (a lot - even for several kilometers). When i disable displaying this layer a enable again, it displays correctly. Also when Locus runs in background it works good. The problem is (probably) that Locus starts, then draw early displayed layers, then moves map to draw a new POI, but it doesn't move those layers.
• This is related with previous bug. When I open some coordinates from external application, it would be great when Locus can first move map, then draw a point and at last draw all other layers (which could take a little time). It can save second every time and when I do it a lot...  
• When I switch from one downloaded map to another, that hasn't current zoom level, it would be great to use the closest one. It is pretty annoying to zoom 7 levels every time I switch map.
• When I have filled in a place in google calendar event and I select Locus to display it, it often loads Locus and do nothing. For example coordinates "N 50° 5.0531', E 14° 26.4715'" does no move, no error message, just nothing. When I put those coordinates into address search, it finds it well, so there must be some problem with calling from external application. And even when Locus can't find that place (e.g. "my home"), it would be fine to show some error info instead of silent nothing.
• It would be great when Locus can download Pocket Queries right from geocaching.com, so I can prepare PQ on my PC, set it to generate and then in Locus set to download this PQ and select category where to import POIs and where to waypoints.
• Another thing related with geocaching: It would be usefull when Locus can download SPOILER images from geocaching.com (since they aren't included in GPX). It should be next tab next to "Listing" or part of bottom menu.
• Locus should register handler for geocahing.com links and opens corresponding cache.

That's it for now, thank you once more for this great app!

Tak jsem slepý, já jsem to hledal tady na fóru, v aplikaci jsem si toho nevšiml. Tak to už je aplikace úplně dokonalá Na placenou verzi rád počkám a případně podle ceny ještě rád podpořím přímo, protože na zahraniční geocaching je Locus úplná bomba!

Veliké díky za výbornou aplikaci, k dokonalosti už mi chybí pouze tlačítko "Donate".
