No timer please! If I want to get it fast, then I click fast!  ;D

Of course my way of using LM isn't the holy grail! It's just the way I use it. That may not be appropriate for others and sometimes it's also changing habits and getting used to it. So in the end all good!

PS: if I could disable the timer then it's fine! :)

We tend to overengineer things. IMHO the previous workflow was perfectly fine as it was also covering the use case which I guess was used the most:

- Navigate: from GPS position to point X
- Plan route: do it in detail the way you like/need

but that just my opinion and the way I use LM.

Hmm, I would bother switching back to the previous approach. If I want to plan a route I open the planer, if I want to do a quick and direct navigation I use 'Navigate'.

The current approach with first open the planer and start navigation from here is okay but a little useless as I know in advance what I want to do IMHO.

@Graf Geo Thanks for the info! Saw the navigate icon the upper screen corner now as well. I was a little bit irritated with the new approach, but thinking about it it's quite nice having the option to adjust routing the way you want it before starting it.

Now you either adjust it the route or start navigation - so all good!  :)

When selecting a point on the map and try to 'navigate' to it, the route planer is started instead of the navigation menu (where you select bike, car etc).

To reproduce:
- move map and select point by holding finger on screen
- select navigation icon on the lower screen end
-> route planer is started
=> should be: 'navigate' menu is shown

Can someone reproduce this as well or is it only me?

I'm curently evaluating the GOLD subscription for having a better tool organizing my tracks in a more comfortable way, but I'm a little disappointed by the provided functionality.

Managing track:
- there seems to be no way to move tracks to different folders without opening one by one (edit->change folder/collection)

Planning:
- imports are always tracks. no selection to import as track or route
- routing: no option to use BRouter (incl. profiles) which is my primary way of calculate routes.
- nearly no options to edit a waypoint of a track except deleting it. What about straight routing between 2 points? If you don't stick to official cycle ways this is sometimes necessary.

In general I would expect the web app to replicate the functionality of the mobile app in the planning mode.

The main no-go for me is the missing simplicity of managing tracks. Also the should be bulk operations for changing properties like folder etc.

The mobile app is gorgeous but I'm not convinced by the web app. It's not that I'm not willing to pay more for the GOLD subscription but I don't see any benefits for me.

Well, full screen display works fine for me. But as I use gesture navigation  I don't have any buttons at the bottom of the screen. All panels of Locus work as expected.

Well it's not a big deal but a nice to have. Anyway, Locus Map is awesome anyway!
Thx for the descent work.

Is is possible to display the text of streets, city etc. in normal orientation when map is rotated like it is on navigation devices?

Locus always displays the text upside down.
