http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/overlap-of-altitude-profiles-for-route-alternatives

I'd prefer to look earlier for a specific route (with a customized brx profile) how steep a specific section of the route is.

To compare several route alternatives I can either take a snapshot of every altitude profile and compare these pictures at the same time.

Is it possible by now or for a future development of Locus pro to overlap the altitude profiles for several different routes?

BRouter gave me a very nice route, with its profile safety.

BRouter avoides differences in altitudes less than 10 m
(E.g. if a hypothetic route was a road with many small up/down jumps  +/-5 m, filtered ascend would be 0 m.)

When I import the created gpx file with Locus pro should I click "Fill altitude"?

@tommi:

I think so. How should penalty calculation work?

First I was thinking in this way:
A) If I set x = 100 m and y=10 m the route from point A to point B should be calculated so there is no local route section which has more than 10 m to ride uphill for a distance of 100 m, the total distance might be 30 km.
B) If I set x = 200 m and y=10 m the route from point A to point B should be calculated so there is no local route section which has more than 10 m to ride uphill for a distance of 200 m, the total distance might be 35 km.

I think this calculation can be implemented in Locus by using local parameters:

Let's consider a track, automatically splitted into 100 sections A=A0 to B=A100: If section A3 to A4 (x meter) has a total number of uphill meters y the sub-route-section from A3 to A4 should be recalculated with parameter z which describes the additional % of longer distance for this section. The parameters x, y and z should be set in the app by the user. As a result the app could propose the total number of altitude meters the rider has to go uphill plus the total distance from A to B.

I would really appreciate if this total altitude uphill meters optimization can be done directly in Locus. I was searching in the internet for a similar tool which does not quite do what I want (with parameters x,y,z and numbers of the total distance and uphill meters as output) but there are some suggestions here:

The personal user profile is much less important than the number of total meters riding uphills. It would be nice if a certain webpage or android app has such a cut-off limit to calculate the shortest route for a upper limit of altitude meters (it should either have a lower boundary or a boundary for the maximal distance that the distance is not going to be 10x longer than the airline to avoid non-sense routes with almost no altitude meters).

Hi,

this is my second posted question here in this forum. I've tried the Locus free app and was so happy with this android app, I bought Locus Pro and I have to mention: It's absolutely worth to buy it, because you can review the recorded tracks with different diagrams, that's really great!

Before I've used a computer and created my first route with: http://geo.ebp.ch/gelaendeprofil/, converted it to GPX format with http://www.gpsies.com/convert.do and sent it to my smartphone and opened it with the Locus app. With this procedure I was able to find a way to manually minimise the total meters I have to ride uphill.

I live in Switzerland and I'm looking for tours of approximately 30 km which are useful for mountainbikers and walkers: I'm a freestyle/downhill unicyclist but I want to avoid long sections of several hundreds of meters for cars which don't have sidewalks for pedestrians. If I'm looking for new routes I always combine routes for walkers, in-line skaters and wheelchair-accessible routes. So short staircases are no big problem for me.

Without using a computer I'd like to use Locus Pro or a website tool to create a route from point A to point B with an uphill meter altitude penalty of let's say 200 meters. The app or website should give me the shortest available track (optimized for pedestrians) with these 200 m altitude restrictions and should be importable in the Locus app.

Do you know a solution?

Hat mir sehr weitergeholfen. Danke!

Vielen Dank für die rasche Antwort.

Sollte ich in Einstellungen zudem "Karte zur aktuellen GPS-Position.." (Die Karte wird nach 5 Sekunden Inaktivität an Deine aktuelle Position bewegt") anklicken oder genügt es bereits den von dir genannten Button unten links zu drücken?

Und was ist der Unterschied zwischen Einstellungen "Navigation" und Einstellungen "Zielführung" wenn ich einer erstellten Route folgen möchte?

Hallo zusammen,

ich habe heute Locus Map auf meinem Android Smartphone installiert, einen GPX Track heruntergeladen und verwende die OSM "MTB Europe" Karte. Bei den Einstellungen habe ich bereits auf Deutsch gewechselt.

Ich habe gesehen, dass es zwei Funktionen gibt: "Navigation" und "Zielführung". Ich habe das ungefähr so verstanden: Wenn man einer Route folgen möchte, dann verwendet man "Navigation", wenn man einfach wissen möchte in welcher Himmelsrichtung das Ziel liegt (also die Luftlinie) dann verwendet man besser "Zielführung", stimmt das? Ich möchte der erstellten Route, die jetzt bereits auf der Karte angezeigt wird, nun folgen. Dabei gedenke ich manchmal von der Route abzuweichen, wenn ich sehe, dass es bessere Abkürzungen gibt, die aber aufgrund der Karte wieder zu meiner vorbereiteten Route zusammenführen.

Ich möchte gerne die Route offline mit eingeschaltenem GPS abfahren (und eventuell mit Sprachführung, da ich nicht dauern auf das Smartphone blicken kann). Anstatt der Karte mit den Fingern nachzuscrollen und manuell auszurichten, möchte ich, dass sich meine Karte automatisch alle Zeit-/Streckenintervalle automatisch verändert, also selbst nachzieht und ausrichtet, wenn ich mit dem Bike unterwegs bin.

Was muss ich tun, um zum Ziel zu gelangen, ohne die Karte manuell mit den Fingern nachzuziehen?
