LOL, but I must say I was thinking that a sun icon at screen edge (which would move on map rotate) would be a nice helper for navigating. Currently we have it on the compass.

I'm convinced that having too many options in an application is counterproductive. If it's already present in the Locus compass, I think it's sufficient. And the fact that you, with such a specific need, have the ability to solve the problem yourself is already a great opportunity.
I often use the Peakfinder app in the mountains mainly to identify the peaks, but it also allows you to check the position of the sun with its arc in the sky as well as simulating its position at different times and it also works offline.
Here it is the web version:

It's the "best friend" of Locus when I'm outside.

Here's your soundtrack for your walks

This feature may not be very useful, but it is an appreciable programming exercise.

Ciao Maurizio,
se intendi dire che ricevi notifiche non volute da parte di Locus, credo che dal software dello smartwatch to possa disabilitare le notifiche provenienti da Locus.
Ho un Garmin e sul suo software posso selettivamente scegliere le app che possono o meno inviare notifiche.
Quindi tu su Zepp, credo si chiami così, potrai fare altrettanto.
Probabilmente hai tutte le notifiche attive ed ogni qualvolta locus aggiorna il suo stato di registrazione ti arriva un alert. Ovviamente poi non avrai alcun messaggio da Locus sul tuo orologio.
A cercare precedenti sul amazfit non credo che la prospettiva sia molto rosea

Hi, There is still the 4.27.2 on the Google Play Store, Italy.

Hi, I tried to reproduce your report, but I didn't find any problems. Since it's a web service you should check if this happens with any browser and for any POI.

Hi, you can enable/disable the GPS by monitoring Locus recording notification, but it only works for Locus and apps that use notifications.

Can someone please tell me when I import a route (track) into Locus web planner whether the track point elevations <ele> are maintained? I have just downloaded Sonny DTM France 1asec v3 HGT files (2.4GB!!) in order to improve the slope accuracy of some planned routes.

Hello,
+1
If the web planner had the best altitude data (Sonny's data), we would have solved half the problem already, this has already been requested in the past.
Also when importing a gpx you should be able to choose whether to keep the original elevation data or apply the planner's data.

Custom WMS > a little hidden. Map manager > WMS/WMTS tab > "+" > Add from library > "+" > and here you go ... this does not make sense right? Hmm ...

It is not very clear, because the first option says "add from library" and therefore the user thinks it can only be done from the library. Then the library list opens with the + button that seems to be used to add a further WMS to the library itself and not to the WMS chosen by the user. In my opinion from the WMS/WMTS menu when you press the + it should propose the options one to search in the library and one for manual insertion.

and in those moments I seek silence and tranquility, so having a device that makes itself heard at intervals disturbs me.

I use a cuckoo sound 😊

better than the one of the wild boar in love

lorcas, you don't use the Stop and should remove it. I personally like to trigger via tick and for dynamic pauses or >2 minutes, I use the stop construction. Notice the conditions uses a Task Variable, i. e. survives the task. And tick doesn't use the Android scheduler, I prefer that.

Sure, you're right now I've also removed the stop condition

BUT Logic. We want to know regularly if all is alive and well. Your task, by not saying anything means "all is well" but also it could mean "Locus/Tasker/Android have crashed".

Such a Locus watcher can also include checking and correcting volumes. Has all happened to me. No guiding voice, I walked and walked, then noticed, the voice and off-track beep were silent.

I use Locus exclusively for fun during hikes or bike rides, and in those moments I seek silence and tranquility, so having a device that makes itself heard at intervals disturbs me. I prefer an alarm that sounds when something is not working and if the crash of takser/android/device prevents such control I can live with it, after all even getting lost every now and then is part of the beauty of being in nature.

For the same reason I rarely use Locus navigation or guidance. If I have any doubts, I prefer to take out the device and decide which route to take rather than listen to the voice guidance.

As I personally use the application the only thing that bothers me is the possibility of losing the recording of the track, so I focused on this aspect.

"Remember to activate it" - Usually one does create tasks which get started via a homescreen shortcut. Execute other tasks from there via "Perform task" or turn profiles on/off ("Profile status").

You can create a Tasker link tied to an action that first starts locus recording and after a few seconds activates the control profile. But I have too many apps and icons on my phone that I prefer to create them only when strictly necessary.

could you share your Tasker profile anyway, please?

I removed unrelated parts and added in some configurability. If you have questions, best is you create a topic in Tasker forum then. Feel free to ask.
Important, this requires the Locus Tasker plugin, see Play Store.

Great idea, I simplified the task even more to give feedback only when the recording fails, increasing the number of audio reminders and also inserting vibrations. The verification interval is defined only in the set up of the TICK event that I set to 100 seconds and it is not necessary to create loops in the task because it is the event itself that activates it at each interval.
The interval should not exceed two minutes according to what is reported in the TICK guide.
You must remember to activate it, but there is no danger of forgetting to turn it off, it will automatically remind you 100 seconds after you have closed the track.

There are a lot of posts on this forum for the exclusive use of DE or CZ that deal with topics that could interest everyone. In this case the topic had already been discussed several times so I also used Italian to guide the user in the menus translated into Italian. Easier for me and for him, just the hassle of using a translation system for others.

Buongiorno,
è tipico questo errore se ti ritrovi a camminare in montagna con pareti a picco, se il gps marca un punto errato anche di pochi metri oppure se il profilo altimetrico per quel punto risulta errato ti ritrovi in queste situazioni. Per correggere l'errore conviene appunto fare come hai fatto tu, cancelli il punto che porta lo scompenso di quota, in genere sono facilmente identificabili dal grafico come hai avuto modo di vedere.

Ci sono poi ulteriori impostazioni all'interno dell'app per la gestione dell'altitudine, cerca "Gestore Altitudine". Se il tuo dispositivo ha un sensore barometrico forse attivandolo puoi mitigare gli errori.

Se non hai problemi di spazio puoi anche scaricarti l'altimetrie delle zone che ti interessano con il modello più dettagliato fornito da Sonny https://sonny.4lima.de/

Puoi anche cercare di ridurre i punti gps con cattiva ricezione impostando nel profilo la "precisione gps richiesta" (ad esempio messa a 25 sai che l'errore massimo teorico è di 25 mt), se poi ti affacci ad uno strapiombo di 400 mt come ho fatto l'altra settimana è comunque inutile.

HI,
you can create a profile that activates based on notifications.
When a Locus notification appears with "running" then activate flight mode.
