Troubles & Questions / 4.22.1 Various Bugs?
March 23, 2024, 08:37:01
Since the update I've had the following issues
1. Trying to plan a route results in the new hints on how to plan a route popping up (2 of them) then dumping you back to the main screen. This happens repeatedly.  In the end I turned off Display Tips and trips in Expert settings and could then plan a route.  I don't think this switch was on before the update.

2. The mile markers on my planned routes vanished on the main screen.  I had to turn the switch Distance Markers in Points and Tracks back on to get them back.  This again, was changed by the upgrade not me.

3. When planning a route Locus makes the bottom android navigation bar overlay Locus so it's very very difficult to click the + button to start planning a route.  After you get the first point in, Locus resizes itself so the android navigation bar sits below locus. See image.

4. All my turn by turn instructions on some of my routes have vanished. So they just showed start and then the finish at 64km. Very odd. I re-did a route and saved it and that contains the turn by turn instructions. Weird.

5. When you do start a navigation, the first voice is American then subsequent instructions are in my chosen language.  Locus used to do this all the time, but you had sorted that out. It's back.

6. Screen on for navigation instructions had been switched off. Again, upgrade did this not me.

7. Weird blank bits of screen appearing when planning routes. See image.

I use Locus evey day to cycle for about 5 hours including stops. Pre the upgrade I had none of these issues and used it perfectly yesterday.

I use locus pro 4 gold on a samsung s21 ultra for cycling and have the map set to up being the direction of travel.

When locus turns the screen on for naviagtion the screen is always north up and then rotates to my setting.
Why is this and can it be changed so there's not that half a second of the screen rotating?

Troubles & Questions / Screen not turning on
November 20, 2022, 17:39:25
I've used Locus maps for years and covered at least 30K km using it on cycle tours and it's been excellent.  My Samsung S21 Ultra OS updated yesterday and lo and behold my screen sometimes won't turn on when voice navigation prompts occur. You can still hear the app fine, but the screen just stays off.

This doesn't happen all the time, just, it seems when I don't know where to go!

I hadn't changed any settings prior to it stopping and have used it for two days with the same behaviour.  I assume its Samsung, but any ideas how to solve it please?
