Ist vielleicht der Pausenmodus aktiviert? (Diese Einstellung ist in jedem Aufzeichnungsprofil verfügbar).
In Version 4.36 wurde die Pause bereits nach 15 Sekunden Inaktivität (d. h. bei jedem kurzen Stillstand) ausgelöst und endete, sobald man sich wieder bewegte, ebenfalls nach etwa 15 Sekunden. Als ich dies ausprobierte, hatte ich zudem zahlreiche Lücken von 30–100 Metern (beim Gehen).

Dies wurde in der aktuellen Beta-Version verbessert, und die Aufnahmepause beginnt nun erst nach einer Minute Inaktivität.

[Edit:]

One more thought regarding the new 'Track photos on map' feature:

Edit: Never mind – Tapio reminded me that what I was going to suggest is already possible. ☺️

@Tapio: Hmm, that probably depends not only on the display size but also on how you've organised the sections. For me, only the track title appears. It's always shown in full, regardless of the number of lines. Only the heading appears for my next section (Statistics). I've moved the photos further down the page. So it works quite well for me.

hehe, 1222 

Thanks. Track photos on map: much better now!

It's a brilliant feature overall – now you no longer have to search for and select the right folder and/or time period just to view photos from an older track!

All that's missing now is that brilliant idea for 'a huge amount of photos' on a track.   

huge amount of photos - this is not yet solved, I'm waiting for ideal idea in my mind 

Perhaps, as a first simple solution, an option called 'show/hide photos on track details' in the settings? (Not the same as the existing 'show media' setting)? Ideally placed in the track info panel?

I'm a bit annoyed. I've (unfortunately!) installed the latest release version, 4.36.1. It has the code number 1221, so it's more recent than the latest beta version, 4.36.1.1_1220. That's why I (foolishly) assumed it would at least be up to date with the latest beta version.

Unfortunately, improvements that were important to me and included in the beta are not included in the newer release version. For example, the auto-pause, which is now triggered again after just 15 seconds (in the beta, this had been increased to one minute).

I then wanted to reinstall the beta, which is only possible after uninstalling the current release version. Or so I thought. Unfortunately, the beta cannot be installed afterwards; I've had this problem before, see here.
Somehow, Locus isn't being uninstalled properly or completely, because as I inevitably had to reinstall the new release version, I noticed that I didn't have to log in again, didn't need to import a backup, etc. So all that was still there. Is it because the 'Keep xxx MB of app data' box was ticked? Does this option save not only tracks, waypoints, maps, etc., but also account details, settings, version, etc.? Do I have no choice but to deselect this option during uninstallation so that I can then install an older version?

Or what do I need to do to ensure that Locus is uninstalled cleanly and completely so that I can install a previous version?

One more comment on this change

add: (SILVER) the track detail shows the photos taken during the recording on the map, a tap opens the photo

The thumbnails can also be a nuisance: I have tracks for which I've taken a great many photos. When I click on the track, I sometimes see a string of thumbnails overlapping the track line. This makes it hard to follow and you can no longer properly see the track's route. What's more, the thumbnails also overlap points that I created during the recording.
Disabling geotagged media doesn't help either. When you highlight the track, the thumbnails are always displayed.
It would therefore be useful and important to be able to disable the display of thumbnails on the track you've clicked on.

Hi Menion, thanks for the update.

Hmm... add: (SILVER) the track detail shows the photos taken during the recording on the map, a tap opens the photo

As these photos are inevitably always located directly on or next to the track, clicking on the thumbnail on the map often brings up the selection dialogue, offering a choice between the track and the photo. However, as the track is already highlighted when the track details are opened, this makes no sense. Only when I zoom in significantly can I click on the photo thumbnail on its own and open it directly.
Something else that strikes me as inconsistent: I click on a track. The track line is highlighted, the thumbnails are displayed and the track info panel opens. If I open a photo and then close it again, the track is no longer highlighted, but the track info panel remains open.

add: (SILVER) long press a photo in the track detail, or use "Show on map" in the photo gallery, to center the map on the place it was taken

It doesn't work perfectly either. When I click on 'Show on map', the tracking panel opens and covers the map completely or for the most part. The map is centred on the photo, but that's not much help if it's covered up. When I close the tracking panel, the thumbnails disappear too...

Es wird immer der neueste/jüngste Zustand synchronisiert. Wenn du am PC (im Webplaner oder der emulierzen App) was löscht, wird es bei der Synchronisation auch in der App weg sein. Umgekehrt genauso. Gilt auch zwischen zwei oder mehreren Smartphones/Tablets.

Hi Menion, thanks a lot.

I've tested the Auto-Pause feature and it works as described – the pause isn't triggered until about a minute has passed. Perfect.

What isn't so good, however, is the warning regarding augmented reality that electronics or metal can interfere with the compass. For me, this warning practically always appears after a few seconds, regardless of the situation – even when there is definitely neither metal nor electronics nearby. As it cannot be deactivated or swiped away (at least I haven't found a way to do so), the augmented reality function isn't really usable for me.

@Steffen_MK:

1. Shaping Points und Zwischenziele bleiben beim Synchronisieren erhalten.
2. Einzelne Ordner lassen sich bisher NICHT synchronisieren.

Hello Menion, this change was introduced in version 4.35:

" chg: the auto-pause and 'Record only when moving' options are now a single 'Movement detection' setting (record continuously / drop points whilst stopped / auto-pause)"

I've been testing 'auto-pause' for the first time over the last few days. In principle, it works perfectly, but:

I've noticed that there are numerous gaps in my recorded tracks, even though I haven't taken any breaks. At least, none that I would describe as such. 😉 The reason is that even a very brief stop triggers the pause. I checked it out and it happens after just about 15 seconds! That means briefly reading a sign, taking a photo, tying your shoelaces, waiting at a traffic light, etc. – all of these are interpreted as a pause. And suddenly I've got a gap in my track. In my opinion, that's not the point of the feature.

I'd suggest increasing the time limit to at least one or two minutes – the point at which you can actually call it a proper break.

What do you (or the others) think?

New beta 4.35.0.6 (thanks):

Settings > GPS & sensors > Sensors Manager > blue Plus Button: Locus crashes

BRouter z. B.
https://brouter.m11n.de

Bei "Tracks oder Route importieren" den Button "Route erstellen" wählen.

Eine gpx Datei schließt solche Informationen nicht ein. Es ist vereinfacht gesagt nur eine Koordinatenliste. Beim Import wird diese nur als "Linie" angezeigt, wie ein aufgezeichneter track, der die Oberflächen auch nicht anzeigt.
Aus der gpx muss also wieder eine Route erstellt werden. Locus macht das nicht, brouter (und manche anderen Apps) bietet das an.

Some more feedback on the new V2 Vector maps:

If I copy a URL whilst the new V2 vector map is active and a LoPoint is open (e.g. as a bookmark), no other LoPoints are loaded when I click on the link. With the raster maps, however, they are:
