At Locus Maps, you treat the browser application so neglected ... it is really not fun to work with it.

The web browser interface is ew and quite basic still...as with gold you can sync to locus server, currently its a basic way to access your cloud synced data...its not google maps....ive been using locus maps for almost 15 years....

The main reason for the gold suncription is to help fund development....consider it like youtube channel membership, or patreon etc, gold emmbers get extra features, but the silver and even free is very usuable....the more gold subscribers, the quicker we will get more features!   And in recent years the speed of features been rolled out has increased since gold membership became available.

With a lot of small app developers they actually listen to their users, unlike Big tech like google etc...


There have been several times when ive posted an idea, a few hours later Menion has implemented and posted it will be there on next release...not many app developers will do this....

https://github.com/Falcosc/locus-addon-tasker/issues/27

This has more info

@freischneider   There wasnt any text to your post.....

Just an idea..

could imported gpx folder structure be "mounted" in a lower part of the point/folder system, and then could be unmounted when not needed, keeping it seperate from the user library....

in a similar way, could people (gold) share sections of their own library that could be mounted, so when they update, otehr people would see the updates.....

a point in several folders.

The thing about points, for example if I have a folder called castles, and i add photos, descriptions, opening times...with new system its easy to have Castles as a folder within Places to visit etc

but if for exampel wanted to have a collection of points for an upcoming holiday...

what would eb easy is to have a text field in each POI, and we can put in free tags....

and then below the folders we have saved searches, and one of teh search criteria could be tags

this would give the functionality of a point being in multiple folders ( just tag in advance) but also be usefull for people who repeatedly search for things.....

ive spent too much time on the help forum and not on this forum..

Anyway...i use method 1 with a  regex...i actually have a meta task that then brings up a menu of all my tasks that are locus related....

also i shale the phone as well, and this cycles through my different presets.....

while the locus tasker plugin is excellent, and its great for pulling data,  its a pity that tasker cant react to locus more, and that locus cant show tasker variables in dashboard etc...

Excellent

another common problem is the android automatic permissions removal if you dont use an app for a while.

Hi Tapio

im running latest locus 4.15 on 2 devices, Samsung with A13, and pco with A12, just checked the Tasker function is working fine and its launching my tasks ( a tasker menu)

but i did notice i had to click on it twice....

what app permissions do you have for the plugin and tasker/locus
feel free to email at this username at gmail.com

That feature isnt there yet
in the mean time, bluestacks emulator, install locus, sync tracks
but also you need to sync the media folder, perhaps with foldersync app or similar....
as that contains the defaut photo POI

Thanks gynta for your excellent project

one of the main reasons ive been using c-me rather than native locus live tracking is the tasker integration, as I can make a quick upload of a single gps position very quickly from a single one line tasker task.
so i generally do this once an hour during the day.

Then my wife has my kml file as a map item,    job done,
just had a look at the c-me website, my position is there as of 40 minutes ago, but the google maps is grey and has a development purposes only watermark, but to be honest this doesnt matter at all.
I also have a 300 pt snail trail of my travels viewing from the webpage, which i dont think current locus livetracking has.

So it would be great if gynta kept c-me up....but i understand if its time to take it down....
Many Thanks

G8 much better than G9

i love the telephoto lens

ive justed tested with battery saver
seems fine
but I do have locus running as service and was route recording

the gs service could be hampered by battery saver, so Iwouldnt recommend

how long to you want to use locus for?
