EDIT: Ah I see, Gold = 2100 per year according to above screenshot.

Paying with LoCoins is a bit more expensive then, I will do it anyway, also to support the team

100 LoCoins > 1,19Euro that makes 24,99 Euro/year vs. GooglePlay 23,99/year

ive just paid with locoins, bought 1060 locoins for £9.63
google play subsctiption is £20.99    with locins the same is £19.07 so locoins is cheaper....
and as i havnet been using the free 600 locoins a year, even cheaper again...

Locus / Data / Media  is only used with take photo point action

if you make normal point, and add photo, it leaves photo where you found it
so if photo was in dcim or similar, problem if you then move photos.

solution, sort photos in to correct structure in Pictres or similar folder
then add to point
Backup pictures seperately to locus folder

Thats interesting,   hope a new technologfy gets invented at some point....

Seems usefull for Locus when outdoors possibly.....

If you mean this Garmin addon
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.wearsoft.locus.addon.ciq&hl=en_GB&gl=US

Its not made by menion/Locus
Its a 3rd party, and its free

Did you not test it with locus free before you bought pro/subscription

Just in case OP still inetersted

ive doen the same thing using locus and tasker as mentioned by  lor74cas above
but to receive and parse the SMS, that is a phone/tasker function really
also it wont work on all phones, ie MIUI devices

ie tasker reads incoming SMS,   gets lat and long
opens locus and the sepcified lat and long....

Also tasker can integrate with existing live tracking platform
ie locus, or tasker can update live tracking.
which means tasker can receive incoming SMS, parse and update livetracking with gps tracker devices rather than gps location of teh android device.

locus is simply the specific app to open geo url
the process is done by tasker.

This is a huge disadvantage with all round watches
a phone like ticwris max might be more suitable.
I tried it with an emulator at the correct resolution and that seemed to work ( 640x480 for the max)

Bluestacks emulator works great as well

also scrcpy which is usb cable screen mirroring is a great way to control phone from PC

Also anydesk works as well, which is similar to teamviewer

and motorola phones should be getting something like dex soon

Just FYI, beta seems to be working and syncing fine using bluestacks, for those people who want to try it without risking their phone install. 

Thanks gynta for your excellent project

one of the main reasons ive been using c-me rather than native locus live tracking is the tasker integration, as I can make a quick upload of a single gps position very quickly from a single one line tasker task.
so i generally do this once an hour during the day.

Then my wife has my kml file as a map item,    job done,
just had a look at the c-me website, my position is there as of 40 minutes ago, but the google maps is grey and has a development purposes only watermark, but to be honest this doesnt matter at all.
I also have a 300 pt snail trail of my travels viewing from the webpage, which i dont think current locus livetracking has.

So it would be great if gynta kept c-me up....but i understand if its time to take it down....
Many Thanks

Working for me

actually looks like this gcam versions is fine without configs....

Black with green text...

14hrs a day gps for multiple days is too much for just the internal battery of smartphone

I would advise a few battery packs like
https://www.amazon.co.uk/VOOE-solar-power-bank/dp/B07V7XSVBJ/ref=sr_1_23?crid=3MZMKUCNUOYIG&dchild=1&keywords=solar+battery+charger&qid=1608661551&quartzVehicle=29-405&replacementKeywords=solar+battery&sprefix=solar+battery%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-23

i suspect its the battery saver causing issues as it will kill a lot of services to eek out a bit more battery

Im currently using GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya_V3.0.apk
which i got from
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1485/
get the config to go with motoG8 power as well

the telephoto on G8 is great, with digital zoom on the telephoto, im using it like a small monocular, and comparing quality, when using digital zoom, its about the same a my small plastiic clip on 8x monocular due to less lens distortion,    so telephotos on smartphones are great for outdoor use!!
while pizel phones have computational advantage for the end result, i like having good telephoto in the live view.

 meant for how many hours at a time do you want to use GPS

ie is for a 4 hour hike?
or is it more liek 24 hours.
only got phone in september so havent used it out much.

in normal every day use i often find the G8 lasts about 3-4 days between recharging.

Yes that was my post about Gcam,    i find the lens on G8power great, especiallycompared to otehr budget phones
did a test compared to 64mp on xiaomi note 9 pro, and found G8 to be better, especially using zoom.

the gcam app I only really use for night mode and astrophotography.  the stock camera app seems better for otehr modes.

the G9 power doesnt look as good- no telephoto.

might get motorola zoom one v2 if one comes out.  telephoto, standard and wide angle all in one phone is great for outdoors use.

I use it all the time and I will use always ;-)
Why do You ask me about it ?

BTW : I found Your probably post here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gcam-mod.4066783/page-3 about gcam in Motorola. Did You installed gcam apk for G8 Power for foto camera ?
