I've just installed the latest update from Google Play and at first glance it does seem to be significantly faster! Thank you!

You don't need to root your phone. Just become a member of Locus beta testers.

Sorry, I was unclear. If I want to reliably backup/ restore (which I do), I prefer to rely on Titanium Backup rather than in-app or Google.

Guys, if anyone of you use Locus Map Beta versions, please try latest and let me know. It should be a lot better now. I hope .

That's great news, much appreciated!

As my SGS7 is not rooted yet I lack reliable means of backup & restore so I'll rather wait for the release version (which I hope will follow soon ).

With the new update this morning im happy to report things are much better. Side by side with my s5 they are pretty much equal now.
Good work dev

Hi, what version are you on? Mine is still 3.17.2 from May 22nd, the problem is still there.

I have the same problem. Just upgraded to a galaxy S7 from an S5.
The S7 now lags terribly and the side panel hangs when opening and closing. Have re installed with no sucess.
Also running locus pro on galaxy 2S 8inch tab with no problems

Yep, still irritatingly slow for me

What's worse, I tried disabling all animations in phone options, all UI is lightning fast, just Locus UI is sadly unaffected by this option.

@Menion, any chance to disable animations in Locus UI or - better - follow the system setting?

Hi, after 2 years of using Locus Pro on a Samsung Galaxy S5 I dropped the phone killing the screen. Had to replace it, chose Galaxy S7.

Exported Locus backup on the old phone, imported on new one.
My old phone had main Locus folder on internal flash, this is also where I kept the more frequently used maps; some extra maps were on external sdcard (internal flash was faster but smaller).
My new phone only has internal flash (big enough for now).

This is where the trouble begins. Locus is slower on the new phone. The UI and map redraws feel more sluggish, there are visible delays.

This comes completely unexpected, if anything I'd have hoped the newer phone would be faster:
- faster CPU,
- faster flash,
- twice the RAM, more caching opportunities,
- the only thing that I think could have a negative impact would be higher resolution, more screen estate to redraw.

And the phone certainly feels faster overall, just not in Locus where it is slower.

Just to make sure I haven't gone crazy I also checked against my wife's phone who still has an S5 and yeah, it's faster.

Can anything be done with this situation?

I make a simple addon for personal use, that show the track recording information on pebble smartwatch.
- recording time - all time
- duration - for 4 sec
- average speed - for 4 sec
- actual altitude - at duration field for 2 sec, it begins with a colon
- heart rate - at speed field for 2 sec, between the two dash

Wow, this is great news as I am considering buying a smartwatch and Pebble Time looks like the most likely candidate.

Two questions:

• Could you show a photo of the watch when displaying this info?
• Would you consider publishing the sources so more functionality could be added?
