It would be nice to have a search function when getting addresses from the address book.
Right now it looks like one needs to scroll there which can be a lengthy operation.

Thanks for that Hint!

Sorry for not replying yesterday, but as soon as I got home I was drowned.

But I found it. As expected it was something utterly stupid. ;-(

When initially playing with Locus I must have set some GPS energy saving option which resulted in Locus only updating at 60s and 100m intervals.
Because I did not remember setting it myself I always considered this a default for track recording and never thought it would apply to regular use.
Once my mental fog cleared and I turned this thing off, Locus tracked my progress on the map as expected.

thanks for your patience

so problem is not, that map do not follow moving blue circle, but that the blue circle do not change it's location when you move, right?

Yup,
No change on the display when I move.

Then it's some problem with refreshing location from internal GPS receiver. In some other program, this works fine for you?

Google Maps and Waze work just fine.

what you mean by "no continuous update"?

The circle/arrow stays on one spot on the map instead of following my position while I move.

Did you saw blue circle on map, or green?

Blue

Better, are you able to post a screenshot of your screen? Maybe it should say more ...

I'll do some screenshots on the way home.

Guess I was too optimistic...
Went out for lunch, the position icon was blue, satellites where plenty, but the arrow/circle stayed put.
So a block down I pressed the location button and the position was updated, but no continuous update ;-(

Anything I could have mis-configured?

thx

Ahh, some light comes up ;-)

Looks like the phones GPS toggle and the Locus GPS toggle are not in sync.

Thanks to your hints I now have the location button in blue.

thx
afx

for this, you have to press the very left button at the bottom.

That just updates the position, I am looking for continuous updating.

cheers

I am probably totally daft and blind, but I can't find the option to switch on continuous location updates on the map so that wen I am moving about, the map always shows the spot I am at.
What am I missing?

thx
afx

Thanks,
it was only that one ampersand!

thx

Brilliant, so Maverick writes broken XML ;-(
I'll load it up in Oxygen, that should find those spots quickly.
But do i really have to use this CDATA thing?
Can't I just write & ?

thx
afx

I import via items->import data and then select the file.
logcat and kml sent via mail.

thx

Hi,
after Maverick is turning into abandonware I discovered Locus Pro. Nice!
But while it groks the gpx tracks from Maverick just fine, Locus chokes on the KML file with my waypoints (which I'd rather not post...).
Search did not bring me an answer ;-(

thx
