Hello everyone,

I have made a thoroughly updated version of Bernard's OutdoorV4 theme, which has been renamed "Hike, Ride & Sight!"

The aim was to add almost all the tags available in OpenAndroMaps maps, especially those related to hiking and MTB, while keeping the map as easy to read as possible. I also fixed a lot of minor problems with the original theme.

I decided not to have theme variations (bike, hike...), which I find impractical, but to have a long list of layers that can be switched individually to focus on your exact needs and keep the map uncluttered.

The hard part was creating a map legend, and I found that plain HTML+SVG was the way to go to keep the legend maintainable.

I hope it will be useful to others; let me know if you find any problems!

Hi,
I set up a custom live tracking service for Locus.
It can be accessed at https://arkluz.com/trk
Let me know if there is any issue with it!
thanks

Hi,
It seems that the latitude/longitude parameters are mandatory when creating a custom live tracking; I think it would be very useful to let create "view only" live trackings to see the positions / traces of other people without transmitting your own position. When these parameters are omitted, of course the minimal distance and accuracy should be ignored, and the absence of movement or disabling the GPS should not prevent live tracking to work.
I have not tried to see if the server can return a kml/kmz file, instead of a gpx?
Also, I did not find a way to rename a live tracking setting.
Finally, maybe some parameters could be set to be sent only when starting or stopping the tracking, and not for scheduled connections; this would allow to differentiate someone who stopped tracking non-voluntarily (no battery, no signal...) or voluntarily, or to purge previous positions.

Thanks!

Hi,
I have set up a live tracking CGI on my server, but instructing my friends how to configure it in Locus is complicated (with all the parameters to the URL etc).
Would it be possible to support an action URL, like for downloading offline maps, so I can send my friend an URL to click to configure live tracking with all my custom parameters? (Locus Map Classic)
Thanks!
