Troubles & Questions / Tracks on map
May 10, 2025, 14:18:20
Hi,

I downloaded a Locus map of my area. When looking at the hiking trails on the map there appear to be tracks already on the map. Do the red lines indicate another person's tracks? I have never been to this area to create my own track. How do I remove the red lines along the hiking trails?

Troubles & Questions / Turn off JPEG overlay

When I import a KMZ file that contains a JPEG overlay, how do I turn off the imported file so I can view the base map?

Hi, I used Locus for the first time today on a snowshoe hike. I used TopoFusion to create a kmz file that contains a georeferenced jpeg image of snowshoe trails. I imported the kmz file into Locus, recorded the track, and everything worked perfectly during the hike. The track was displayed normally on top of the jpeg image.

When I returned home, I used the base map to view the track in Locus and then imported the snowshoe trail kmz file. The showshoe trail jpeg image is covering the track. I can see the start and end markers, but not the track. How do I bring the track to the top?

I'm not sure if this is helpful, but this is the jpeg link from the kmz file:

Hi, I would like for the GPS to remain on when I exit Locus. I have tried all of the settings in "Turn on during start" but I can't seem to keep the GPS enabled when I exit Locus. What is the proper setting to always keep the GPS running?

Also, I don't understand what is being disabled when exiting Locus and the "Disabled" box is displayed. I thought Locus is disabling my device's GPS, but when I swipe down to see the Android notifications screen, the GPS button is still green.
