Hi Tapio .
Thanks for adding "watering place" to the theme. I only know of one other theme that shows it.
One suggestion, it is shown from zoom level 17, could it be shown from a lower zoom level?

Do you plan to add "cubic" to the rivers as you did with the streams?

Tendency is: No. But I am not sure about the consequences. I think there may be footways/cycleways close to rivers, which then aren't aligned perfectly, or worse, get hidden below the river.

EDIT: A clear no. Author of Voluntary theme will undo such changes for rivers. Non-connected parts may happen, or bridges at the wrong place.

You are right. I discovered an error in the Voluntary theme

v1.2.4

• Fixed non-round street endings
• Improved overlapping track/byway which looked like being bridges
• Code/Comment cleanup
• Waterways drain/ditch/stream lines=cubic
• Private parking icon red-ish

Changed icon can only be seen after Locus cache delete (Locus settings).

Hello.
Congratulations on your theme.

Nor are offline LoPoints shown with online maps.

I think they are exaggerating a bit here. Why do they always have the screen on ? Normally they are hiking or biking and look at the path. On Locus you look only if you need information. So the screen can stay off 70% of the time.

Exaggerating? I can assure you the permanently burnt in locus on our screens is very real, on multiple phones meanwhile. And Locus is not even configured to be always on, I'd estimate around 3-4 hours total at full brightness each day (on bicycle handlebars). That's apparently enough to kill displays in less than a year. Affected so far: Samsung Galaxy S10+, S20FE, S22Ultra. Next in line waiting for Locus tattoo: S23Ultra.

Obviously this is a "power user scenario" that won't affect too many people. But why kill displays if you don't have to? Software counter measures (ui pixel shifting) should be rather simple.

Alternatively, should Locus warn people with a huge red alert when your screen on time exceeds 2 hours for the day? "DEAR USER, PLEASE TURN ME OFF, YOU'RE USING ME WRONG" :-)

I have a 3 years old mobile with Amoled screen. During all that time I use it 21 hours a week with screen on in Locus Map. The screen is perfect.

Oh, sorry. I forgot to comment about Osmand+, I tried it last year for a short time. It didn't convince me, for my mountain sports and Geocaching I prefer Locus.
I don't doubt that Osmand+ is a good app but I don't know what I'm looking for.

I convert the SHP with Locus Gis but I would have liked to be able to use them directly in Locus Map.

Hi. I have been on this forum for a while and have never posted anything.

I practice mountain sports and the application I started using was OruxMaps until recently that I do it with Locus Map 4 and Locus Map Classic.
The advantage of Locus over OruxMaps is its ease of use and very intuitive. Oruxmaps is more complex, but the advantage is that it supports SHP, I use that format in many layers that before I need to convert to be able to use in Locus, it would be interesting that it supports that type of file.
