"REORDER SECTIONS" FOR THE TRACK WINDOW

First of all, thanks for this initial configuration option!

I agree, please make it possible to hide or disable sections.

And is it possible to split the "Details" section? I don't need the line type in the info window (I can see that on the map), only in the edit menu. The same applies to "Activity" – I don't need that in most cases.

And it would be brilliant if you could save the settings for each folder individually. I don't need a elevation chart for my jogs or walks around town, but I certainly do for hill or mountain walks. 🙂

Thanks, fine!

Two first questions:

Slope colouring now in all charts, also speed and pace - intended?

Where can I find the legend: question-mark next to "Line style"?
Can't see the question-mark.

Have a nice weekend!

Yes, I can see that; colours have their pros and cons. It works quite well on the elevation profile. When I colour-code the route, I always add a black outline so that it's easy to make out.

Ultimately, you'll never find colours that are the best solution for everyone. It's just the same when it comes to highlighting routes.

The display of the track info panel in landscape mode is a very welcome improvement. At last, you can view the track and the elevation profile at the same time when geotagged photos are enabled. You can then scroll through the panel (albeit a bit clunky). Funnily enough, the scroll position (not exactly, but roughly) is retained when you switch back to portrait mode.

Edit: The new landscape view only works for tracks, not for points. Or not yet?

What I don't like so much is the new font for the track title. It now seems even larger than before and therefore takes up even more space, especially with multi-line titles.

... but now we can't see that we're inside the library. Ok Tiny differences, the  two buttons on the map, no trackpoint button. 

The two buttons are striking enough. And track is not highlighted. So I think it's easy to tell apart.

track detail > we are in the process of a complete rewrite of this screen into a new technical solution (while preserving the same UI for now).

Hi Menion, is there an approximate timeline for when a new track info screen will be made available, at least as a beta version? I've been looking forward to a customisable track info screen for ages... 😉

You can disable or hide these LoPoints. Click the 'Map content' button on the left and disable LoPoints.

Your Classic will remain yours permanently, regardless of LM4.

OK, you're right. That's not my use case, so I never noticed it.

Locus Map 4 and Locus Classic are different apps. You can use both. On the same device or on different devices.

@Andrew Heard:

Re 1: because it doesn't make much sense to search for "My location", "select on map" or "screen centre" in the main search bar – you're already on the map view anyway.   "My points": You can search directly for a point; after submitting the search term, a button with the points symbol and the number of hits ("x items") appears at the top.

Re 2: For me, the map centres correctly on the point clicked in the chart.

Es hört einfach nicht auf.

Software, Technik und Bedarfe entwickeln sich nunmal weiter.

Oder nutzt du noch deinen uralten Schwarzweiß-Fernseher, weil der so schön stabil läuft und man damit doch wunderbar Heiteres Beruferaten gucken kann?

Are there definitely some geotagged JPGs in the missing folder?

@Andrew Heard:

I can't quite understand the issue with zooming on the x-axis, nor can I reproduce it.

Map icon in the chart overview: The map centres correctly on the position I click on in the chart. The only thing that doesn't work: I click on the track on the map, e.g. at the start of the track. The track info panel opens with the elevation chart, and the position at the start of the track is correctly marked there. Then I open the chart overview and click on a different position, e.g. a peak of a hill. Clicking the map icon takes me back to the map, which is now correctly centred on the peak. However, the track info panel is still open, and the old position at the start of the track is still marked on the elevation graph there. So it isn't updated. But that's not a big deal.

"Most change record": I thought the same thing. 😉

Now that the charts have been improved so nicely, here's another request or suggestion:

The labels partially cover large areas of the two bar charts for way types and surfaces (see screenshot).
Perhaps the labels could be placed above the charts here too, as is the case with the other charts.

It would be even better if these bar charts could also be included in the chart overview so that they can be zoomed in on as well. For longer routes, they have always been too compressed, which makes analysis difficult.
