Ok, I accidentally pressed shift when typing LM4 I'm a dev myself, so payment is not the main issue.

I wont go into details re the screenshots as I and others did so in the help system already.
Also these are only two examples.
In the 2nd one: LM3 shows instandly the info I need on the popup. Next tap let's me do the things I need often. LM4 at first shows info I dont need, annoyingly centers the tap position on the map and overall the remaining map space is too small.
Re the elevation: TOO SMALL and doesnt show the timestamp of the selected position (i.e. 11:27).
I dont need the other diagrams, but if so I can overlay them in LM3.
So, overall I feel useful features were taken away or buried to deep, UI space is wasted and also features I hoped for never came. Also I realised (suprisingly) that I'd rather separate points and tracks in the lib - at first I was excited about the new possibilities but then I found myself using the filters, so things got more complicated than before.

Ok, that's it. After two years or so I've finally had enough.
For me LM4's usability was on a steady decline and after the latest mess up with the elevation diagram I decided to reactivate LM3. It will take some time to migrate my data over, but that's just a weekend's task - a bit like cleaning up the house

Attached some of the features LM3 vs. LM4 that I use most.
I think the screeenshots speak for themselves.

so long and thanks for all the fish

No reply? I just noticed the same, i.e. the new elevation diagram is not as useful as it was before.
When has it changed??
Before you could use the full height of the screen, now theses tiny additional diagrams that I don't even need?
And while you can set the x asis to "time" it will not show the absolute time as recorded (what I'm intersted in) but only a relative time which always starts at 0:00 (useful but not for me).

Again, a major step back in LM's usefulness. WHY??

So, sorry, I cancelled Premium. Too little added value for me due to no custom icons in the web. Also many other v4 quirks and things that have gotten worse in the app which are important to me and which were never addressed or were dimissed (e.g. the library lists with too much white space, missing a feature to quickly show/hide everything from the lib in the current map view area). I was never as enthusiastic about v4 than I was with v3 and keep using Locus less and less, sadly.

I, see. A bit of a dissapointment, because for me the important point (no pun intended ;-)) of the web app would have been to better reorganize my points and have a better overview than on the smartphone. I have about 30 different custom icons and in the web app they all look the same.
Basically since I first used Locus many years ago I almost exclusively use the Garmin icons and my self-made custom icons which I brought over from using Garmin devices for many years before. I never found the Locus icons very useful because they look so similar. So, I'm using almost the same icon set for almost 20 years now :-)

Hi, I just subscribed to gold to use the web app to better (re)organize my library and then sync it to a second device.

It seems, my custom point icons are not synced ?! They get replaced with the folder's icon. How can I sync my custom icons und what happens when I sync to the other device (which already has the related icon zip file).

Achso, das ist "Schneller Kartenwechsel" - hatte ich für einen "Schnellen Dashboardwechsel" gehalten
Ja, mache ich auch über Profile.

zu "offline": ich habe mir ein Android-Handy ausschließlich für's Wandern etc. gekauft und dort zum Testen bisher keine SIM-Karte drin, also garantiert keine Mobildaten, nur WLAN - funktioniert "draußen" bisher alles prima.

Das ist toll. Wie hast Du denn den Dashboard-Umschalt-Button gebaut?

Yes, sure! :-)

Hello,

I've made a little Land Rover Defender, top view.
