Quote from: Neoaliphant on November 09, 2024, 09:39:20in 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.....
This would be an idea that would allow larger groups working on a project to keep their data up to date.


Just posted as idea on the helpdesk

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.....

Quote from: Graf Geo on November 05, 2024, 13:58:07@Neoaliphant: Locus Map requires Android 6.0 or higher. Therefore, an SGS7 should not be a problem and it is not.

yes, LM needs A6, and SGS7 is A8, and obviously it runs,  but an app being able to install and run does not mean the app view correctly...


A DM99 smartwatch that has 2gb ram, A8 but a 2 inch screen will not view the menu correctly either even tho is A8...

it would be good if LM4 would display well on low res screens as I intend to get an android watch at some point....

Quote from: Graf Geo on November 05, 2024, 12:06:10So a problem in portrait mode with certain display sizes? SGS7 ist not sooo small. ;-)


the S7 is 8 years old, and only runs up to A8,  and has a tiny 5.1 inch screen, even with screen res of 1440 x 2560 pixels,
BUT
the viewport size is only 360x640.....you can see by how lare percentage of screen the keyboard takes up.....

might be worth reducing text size to see what the difference is

@freischneider the problem is: modify point in 1 folder, now inconsistent with any other copies

Exactly, this has been a problem for me for years....

Tasker / ATAK using Locus + Tasker
November 02, 2024, 15:41:26
I mentioend this as an idea a long time back...

but the Android Tacical Kit, which is used by paintballers, airsofters, military and emergency responders has a lot of similar functionality with Locus, but there are a lot of things ATAK does that locus doesnt

I was wondering what extra features we could add to locus to make it more usefull as an alternative to ATAK


for example, being able to share the url of a video feed of a camera/drone to a chat group....
using a tasker scene button/locus dashboard button to send PTT voice emssage to chat roup

Updating chat status using tasker

being able to send a locus message that triggers an emergency alert/SOS if member of party in trouble.


sending manual check in requests to a team to check on everyones safety..

updating chat status based on incoming SMS message

Using LORA with locus..

Quote from: freischneider on November 02, 2024, 10:45:53a 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.....

A long time ago you mentioned a trips system

This could be achieved by allowing

1. Folders to have extra properties, description, orl, atatchments, in the same way that POI do...

2 For pois and tracks to e able to be placed in multiple folders ( so folders become tags/labels)


What are the chances for new library to include these?

Tapio...did you have a survival kit with you, compass at least...
I sometimes route track with my watch gps, whch also has a compass, in case locus recording fails....


re battery drain, if cellphone signal was getting weak, power drain can spike a lot....

try a test with airplane mode on.....

Thats awfull
i had assumed it was a download simply because of teh play store sanctions, and they would have to have the adverts or subscribe with gift vouchers etc....

Tasker / Re: Tasker task trigger in menubar
October 27, 2024, 19:59:45
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...
