Auric, thanks for excellent description of problem! You're absolutely correct, issue is fixed, thanks!

Hi,
  in Locus is unfortunately nothing that can improve you battery. Settings for track recording only affect frequency of saving location, not time that GPS modul is enabled/disabled.

  anyway, bluetooth GPS rapidly increase time that your phone last. By my own experience, more then twice! (from normal 5hours to more then 10)

Hmm
  I'm not much sure about usefulness of just idea but widget with some useful numbers and information for track recording, sounds good. Thanks, I'll try to think about it ...

Hi,
  seems that map tiles on geoportal have very weird URL syntax. If there isn't some precise description of map server that geoportal use, I cannot help.

hi jofrey,
  thanks for your email with POI file. I did big improvement in speed when huge number of POIs is loaded and displayed.

Anyway, slowest think is actually work with database, mainly loading of POIs, but I cannot find any solution to speed up this, so later maybe!

Hi,
- Full screen when making tracks
- Full screen when recording tracks
you can enable fullscreen in settings!

- Accidental rotate map when zooming is annoying, remove rotate feature
you can disable this in settings!

- Provide bearing and distance info when making tracks, and/or provide direct numerical input facility. Eg: create a track to a poi that is 4nm away on a bearing of 243 degrees.
I think to something similar, so it's in my TODO list

- Hide stored tracks
don'understand!

- Edit tracks & categorize
you can edit style of tracks. You want to directly edit every points of tracks? I'm not sure if this is needed for something. May you explain purpose of this?

Hi jofre,
  better is to test version 0.9.16 on market About you idea .. you should already use downloading along path. Define simple path along your cost, set correct width of path and you should also avoid these unwanted map tiles.

hmm looks nice. But you have to know, I plan to do some screen with absolutely defined layout by user. I have some imaginations and possibility to show different values over map is in my plans

Hi,
  I'm not so sure but I'll try Anyway, this feature is in today published version 0.9.16. You just have to draw path manually and third button on bottom panel is what you need. Actually it's just for testing, I do not wrote much about it.

jofre, thanks for the file. As I see, with 13k points, it's so slooooow I have to do something with this ...

you're right, this is missing in locus. I have plan to increase coordinate sources for new or editing points. Actually you should obtain location from gps, map, coordinates, address, contact. I want to also increase by average gps position and projection from another point.

So, I'm not sure about time, but I'll do it

ok, fine anyway I added this "select all" also on points screen on top left button. I had to do simple "hack", just when category you're actually watching, isn't in that list what I think don't mind ...

ok, thanks guys, I'll release new version tomorrow morning if any new feedback or heavy mistake occur.

and about the size. I know, it's tax for nice graphics and growing amount of code

Hi,
  fine.
1) thanks for tests
2) may you send me for testing you camp file? I'm sure I can do some tweaks to prevent force close (hope), but I don't have so big file
3) you can disable all points in quick menu (which you can lunch on right panel on map screen). You want this functionality also on another screen?

Hi,
  yes this is correct. Locus is designed to be mapping software and gps is not needed. You should just watch map without gps (I hate google maps, that everytime I open, enable GPS). If you want GPS enabled everytime, just let GPS enabled when you quit Locus. Thanks to this, you can also simply use Bluetooth GPS. I like this way, Locus independently on system handle GPS.

  You should also use quick enabling button (hold for a long gps icon in locus top panel).

answer for you previous post. There is currently no possibility to have default lock value on all zoom levels. If you need "bigger" map, you should lock current map layer. If you need to zoom, you have to unlock, zoom, lock ...

anyway, you're right, there should be any value that allow set in settings double-scaled map for every zoom ...

new version for testing ... candidate for release, please test! thx
