Can a catagory be created that contains both points and tracks? I have collections of points and tracks for atving that are currently organized based on the area. It would be great to organize, browse and turn on/off all the points and tracks in one catagory instead of points and then having to find the tracks.

Maybe I am missing some current functionality. If so, help! Thanks.

Once again your prompt and accurate reply is appreciated. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. Thanks!

Locus recently updated and since then, regardless of which map I use, there are ten 'Testing Points' that appear at random locations around the center point. It does not matter where I am in the world or at which zoom level, they appear. I tried to hide from the map screen but they reappear. The points are nowhere to be found in datapoints.

When Locus starts the map appears and the points do not, as soon as I touch the map they appear. They move randomly when I move the map but always stay in the field of view and always stay around the centre point. I'd post a screen capture but to do so on my Samsung Galaxy, I need to press the back button and home and this always brings up the 'Close Confirmation' box that hides the points.

Also, when I am in map view and I click on the points, there is no option to delete, only to hide. When I hide and then move the map, the point comes back.

This appears to be either a strange programming issue or a Locus virus. Please help as this is making this program hard to use.

Once again, this is why I tell my friends the android devices and this program in particular is the best out there. The program is far superior than other GPS devices, WAY cheaper, and the support is awesome. Thanks for the quick response!

Not that this is a big issue for me, but why aren't point AND tracks saved in catagories? This way when you turn on a catagory, all the points and tracks are shown/

I should have replied earlier. Yes, this issue has been fixed, thank you.

On a side note, when I merge the tracks they are displayed properly, however, the beginning and end of the merged track has a tag indicating the 'Start' and 'End'. Can these tags be removed? I just simply want to display the tracks so I can see the track that I want to follow.

The issue I have is I have 30 to 40 individual tracks (atv trails) that i lie to have on the screen at once. Instead of turning each one on individually, I merge them, however, with the new improvements the tracks don't display properly. You have a category system for points, why not include tracks? That way if someone wants all the tracjs and points from a category, it would only take a couple presses. An added bonus is I would not have to merge my tracks and therefore the current display issue would not be an issue at all.

Update: I found out my merged tracks are OK. The issue is the zoom levels. At zoom level 1 - 13 the tracks look like crap. At zoom level 14 and higher the tracks suddenly are displayed properly. Ill try to post screen shots tomorrow.

I have been using Locus for a year now, awesome program! Basically gave up on all my other GPS units and software.
Until recently, I have simply used Google Earth to view my ATV tracks on my computer. I saved the folder with the multiple ATV tracks as a kml, and then imported the kml. After I imported I then merged the tracks and voila, I could see all my ATV tracks clearly. One press on the screen and 30 or 40 tracks appeared or disappeared.
Recently there has been an update and this has made this simple task a mess! My tracks are merged, but all joined into one big long jumbled mess! I guess I don't really want to 'merge' the tracks, I simply want only one button to turn on 30 or 40 tracks at one time. Thats why I liked the merge function.
In addition, after this recent update, now my tracks have an icon showing me the start and finish.

How do I bundle multiple tracks so they don't physically attach to each other?
How do I get rid of the 'Start' and 'Finish' icons on my tracks?
