Superb!

Icons might perhaps be such that they will be easily recognized as referring refer to eastings and northings. I guess that the values used will be metric values of UTM or some national grid (well, someone might be interested in an alphanumeric notation such as MGRS, British grid or Irish grid that combine the the position into a single string).

I have the Pro version. The problem is that the dashboard editor does not offer other variables but latitude and longitude. I would like to display on the screen the metric northing and easting values of the projection that I have already chosen for the current map.

Hi,

I have previously used Ozi CE version on cheap Windows CE devices, and I have created custom screens for displaying just the coordinates as big as possible, like this:


I have recorded some tens of thousands of plant observations this way - with OziCE + pen + notebook combination -  during the past few years when driving in the southern half of Finland. Now I'd like to set up a similar screen in Locus Map.

I have modified the config_projections.cfg file so that now I am able to see the metric northings an eastings of the Finnish Uniform Coordinate System (EPSG:2393) in the upper left corner of the Locus Map screen. I am wondering if it might be possible to see them somehow in bigger font. However, it seems to me that only latitude and longitude values can be added to a custom dashboard. If so, is there some other means to get these values shown so that they could be easily watched when driving?
