Troubles & Questions / Re: Map marker inconsistency
January 07, 2014, 16:48:36
1) Thanks for the clarification.  I suppose it would be a feature request then to be able to create icons in the app based on urls :)

2) I was able to play with the route and measure feature and it looks like the problem is a bit more clear.  It looks like locus is centering the google pushpin icon at the coordinate rather than using the bottom tip of the pushpin to identify the coordinate.  My kml was created using google my places.  I won't be able to provide a copy of the original KML until later today but I was able to create another kml file to reproduce the issue.  I've provided two images at different zoom levels to demonstrate that locus is in fact centering the pushpin on the coordinate.

Troubles & Questions / Map marker inconsistency
January 07, 2014, 03:23:21
First of all I have to say excellent app!  I was quite frustrated with the google map functionality on my android phone and this app centralizes nearly all my gps needs and I still have a lot to learn about its capabilities.  Secondly, I apologize if my questions have been asked before.  I did search but wasn't able to find anything similar.

1 - I see that when I import points via KML, locus uses google map's blue pushpins to mark the points.  When I add points manually, it defaults to the Locus brown "i" icon and I can't find a way to select the google map's blue pushpin icon.  How do I do this without downloading a custom icon pack?

2 - As I was playing around with these markers, I noticed that the google map pushpin and the locus "i" pushpin do not indicate the same location at various zoom levels.  In the attachment Zoomout 1.jpg, I created 3 points at the same latitude.  As I zoom out further, the locus "i" pushpins appear to move higher and higher (lattitude) vs the google map pushpin and that does not seem correct.

I am using Locus version 2.18.0.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks
