Troubles & Questions / Wrong altitude in dashboard and audio coach

Hi,
it seems as if the altitude value in dasboard and audio coach are wrong.
In GPS status and map value  the right values are shown.

What about this "old" idea from Helpdesk?

Troubles & Questions / hold map center

« on: August 14, 2016, 20:02:44 »

Hi,
I really like that option ... but I have some problems with it:
- I like to zoom with the hardware buttons. But it seems at if this is not recognized as an activity - so position skips back while zooming.
- Several times I had the problem that the cursor suddenly skips back to the gps position while creating a new route. Yesterday when I tried to repeat the issue (to describe it) it works ... today in the field it skipped back while creating a new route. 

- and just a question: Is there anywhere a chance to change the value of the skip-back time (seems to be fixed to 5 sec)

Troubles & Questions / Skip a via point during navigation

« on: February 04, 2016, 23:28:03 »

Hi,
after trying different ways to navigate with via points I found a working way ... 

When I start navigation ... then enter my different via points and my final point  Locus navigates strictly to the first via point even if there is a recalculation of the route ... 

Now where all works ... I tried to skip a waypoint.
I found the menu where I can choose this option ... but nothing happens.   
The only way to skip is to start a new navigation without this point ... 

Any ideas ?

Troubles & Questions / Different altitude values

« on: October 26, 2015, 21:09:41 »

Hi menion,
I saw this every time during my holidays in alps (with much more elevation ... and difference  )

But yesterday I found the time to check the different values:
- when I planned the route I've got the values 152m down and 153 up
- at the end of the tour just before saving I had 180m down and 210 upd
- after saving the values where 138 down and 147 up


In settings I have altitude correctur disabled (because I want to use the build in barometer which hard worked fine with orux).
While writing I just saw another setting "GPS altitude optimize" which is set to "on".

My question or lack of understanding:
- when is what method of altitude measure used ?
- can I set settings to only one method in all cases ? (maybe the most accurate  )

Free chat / Thank you for a great app ...

I tried Locus because I was looking for an offline navigaton tool for bike tours ...

Then I saw what else is possible with Locus Maps ... and one week before my holidays I switched from OruxMaps to LocusMaps ... 


I planned my routes with Locus/brouter (even for that I switched from PC to Locus) ... recorded my tracks ... changed the tour sometimes on the fly ... used POI-Alarm for geocaches on the way  ... used navigation ( and one time LM detected, that I took the wrong way  ) ... used my own  dashboard ... etc.

And it was ten days of great fun, no crash  ... and a lot of (for me) new features.   

Thank you for this great app ... and the activ development.

[DE] - deutschsprachiger Forumsbereich / Navigation ohne Kurven

« on: September 14, 2015, 16:49:22 »

Hallo,
entweder habe ich noch nicht die richtigen Einstellungen, etwas generell falsch gemacht ... oder es geht einfach nicht? 

Ich möchte Locus als Offline-Navigation für meine Mopedtour nutzen ...
Also brouter installiert, mit Locus verbunden, Route (mit Locus und auch am PC) erstellt ... Navigieren ... soweit klappt alles.

Nur unterwegs werden nicht nur Abbiegungen, sondern auch (fast) jede größere Kurve angesagt. 
Da ich hauptsächlich auf akustische Hinweise angewiesen bin (Display bei Sonnenschein (=Mopedwetter  ) nicht immer erkennbar), führt dies dazu dass ich auch ohne die aktuelle Strasse tatsächlich zu verlassen laufend Richtungshinweise bekomme. Manchmal nur "nach links/rechts" ... manchmal aber auch tatsächlich "nach links/rechts abbiegen".

Meine Frage:
- kann man mit Locus tatsächlich eine echte Strassen-Navigation durchführen?
- fehlt mir noch eine Komponente/AddOn?

Troubles & Questions / Track information announcement

« on: September 09, 2015, 08:34:31 »

Hi,
I'm new to Locus but even after a short time I managed to create routes, follow route, navigation, geocaching ... connect brouter and dem-files ... 
The only thing I didn't find (or it isn't there  ) is:
- I want to have some acoustically informations automaticly announced during a track. E.g. after every (customizable) distance or time I want to hear some informations about the distance, elapsed time, time left (maybe customizable  ) ...

Is this possible ... ?
