Hey there menion,

First off I'd like to say how much I appreciate Locus. It is by far the most powerful, feature-rich mapping application out there.

Has there been any progress on this front? In my search for a solution I saw a few other threads discussing the limits of loaded points.

I'm a developer and understand the limits of not only hardware but the architecture of the application. Adding a seemingly "simple" feature is not always simple nor even possible without rewriting large chunks of code.

If lazy loading of points is still not feasible with the current map rendering engine, would it be possible to load the points based on distance around a point (radius).

Right now there is an option (inside a folder of points) to make the first X points of the list visible.

It appears that during the loading of the points folder, the points relative distance is already being calculated.

I see that we can sort by distance then make the first X points visible essentially loading points that are nearby. This somewhat achieves what I'm looking for, but can be a little clumsy.

As you know it can be difficult to achieve the desired result because of the unknowns. How many points are nearby? If there are a lot (thousands) of points within say 5 miles, it may not be obvious or easy to tell/count by scrolling through the sorted list.

It would be nice to be able to show all visible points within a radius of X m/km.

I know this is somewhat "splitting hairs".

Thanks
