Web portal & sync / Re: Locus Map - cloud/sync server
September 11, 2020, 13:12:13
First of all, thanks for starting work in this direction even with a delay of several years. Later is better than never :)

However, is my understanding correct that currently you're talking more about backup/sync between several smartphones? What I was expecting from a account/sync/cloud thingy is possibility to edit my points from the PC i.e. via Locus web interface (or Locus desktop app, no idea whether it exists, but you got the point) in order to get them on my smartphone. And get the new points I add on smartphone in this abstract "web interface" afterwards.

Is this completely out of scope for the implementation or do you consider having something like that eventually?

Just to be clear, my use case is typically "prepare travel plan with tracks and points" (on PC, just because it's so much superior over smartphone for such a complex task), then "do travel, during vacation add some newly discovered points to my map" (on the phone as I don't have PC during vacatioin) and then "analyze my track, organize all the points and publish it as i.e. blog post" (again on PC). And that's exactly what I was expecting from this cloud sync - to be able to edit my points from PC and seamlessly get the updates on the phone.
