Troubles & Questions / Locus draining my battery
November 04, 2012, 10:34:48
Hi all.

Long time Locus Pro user and upgraded to 2.7.2 as 2.6.x seemed to be causing Locus crashes.

Anyway, used Locus to log for about 3 hours yesterday and it crashed again.

The main problem I had though was Locus seemed to completely drain my battery.  This is strange because no other versions of Locus have ever given me battery troubles before but for some reason, yesterday it really did run down my battery quite severely.

I'll put a few photos on here to show the battery use as I'm sure something isnt right with that amount of power drain.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

1. I know you can change the colour of a navigation route to whatever colour you like... but is it possible the change the colour of the tiny arrows within that navigation route too please?  If a route is set to purple or another dark colour etc etc it is very difficult indeed to see which way the tiny arrows are pointing as they are always black.  If on the purple coloured route they could be changed to white for example then it would be alot easier to see the arrows and it would also make the route differentiate from standard road colours too.

2.Allow dimmed highlights seems to dim the screen after a period of time, but it would be great if the screen lit up again each time a guided waypoint or navigation instruction was read out.

Hope these 2 are possible.
Thanks in advance.
regards.

Long time Locus fan here.  Bought Pro version around July 2011.

Running low on phone space now so have moved Locus Pro to the SD card (16gb Speed 4)

Everything works fine except the voices whenn navigating somewhere occur a lot later than they should.

For example... driving at a steady 30mph I will make a left turn but only get the audible voice announcement to make that turn about 30 seconds after I've actually turned.

I understand everything is running from the memory card so will be slower but nothing else seems to suffer this lag... only the spoken voices.

Does menion or anybody else have any advice about this or is it simply a case of me moving the app back to the phone so it runs smoother?

Thanks in advance.
