Ich kann den von mir beschriebenen Bug in Deinen Screenshots nicht sehen. Fehlalarm. Sieht so aus, als verwirrten Dich Shaping Points (weiß nicht, wie sie in der Übersetzung heißen).

"Held back" - why, where? Is that in your phantasy? Otherwise be more precise.

Da musst Du Dich an die Tastatursoftware wenden, nicht an Locus.

I can't remember, was there a benefit of 3 over 2? If not I'd go for less complexity: 2.
Because. The typical Google obstacles, e.g. secondary app can lose permissions.

Porting old Tasker infrastructure to a new Android is simply a disaster. There's helpers, but you still resolve permission issue no. 8541 weeks after the installation.
I wanted to make a Tasker install and create some rather simple automation (vol, wifi etc.) for my overage relatives. Failed after my limited time of 45 minutes. Sigh. Oh I'm offtopic.

1 and 2 is what I use. Quick Bookmarks (2) usually if related to map center position, "Run task" list (1) for the others. I recommend to create a Project "LocusUI" in Tasker and in the Plugin filter for LocusUI/.*

Zossebart, you can have max. 2 direct toolbar entries. This is solution 1. But they will just have the Tasker icon.

Another flexible way would be to have a (semi transparent) Tasker Scene on top. But scenes aren't fun to create at all.

We have a Tasker forum btw. https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?board=66.0

Hmmm strange, you're right, maybe an input problem in my prior testing.

I agree. Plus: it should also be possible to use Lopoints this way. I only need to short click btw.

I cannot confirm this. Works as usual for me.

Yes, will observe closer, now it works. I also clicked a search result in the general search, nothing happened.

I cannot create and save points to db. Click on "Save", nothing happens, can only cancel.

Yes, I have reported it some time ago, it makes no sense displaying categories the user did not ask for.

Hi,

this is for the lulz, I use quite some techniques so you can learn from the task. Requires LM4.

Task creates random temporary points at map center in different ways.

Howto:
1. Import Task
2. Create a Quick Bookmark with in LM4, URL scheme see below code box.
3. Use that quick bookmark, in the dialogue, change values.

Have fun. Action no. 23, the JS code to calculate newpos from oldpos+dir+distance is the meat of it. "earth_radius" is for my area. Not too important.

Code Select Expand

Create random points in Locus Map 4 beta, at map center

Prerequisites:
Add it to Locus Map "Quick bookmarks"
URL Scheme:
tasker://assistantactions?task=RelPositionRND&par1={mapLat},{mapLon}

ARGS:
Number of points
Direction
Direction_range (30° means +/- 15°)
Distance_min
Distance_max
Relative from last point
Relative from last direction

Examples:
50 points in a circle, 100m radius
50, 0, 360, 0, 100, false, false

50 points in a half circle west, 100m radius
50, 270, 180, 0, 100, false, false

50 points at border of circle, 100m
50, 0, 360, 100, 100, false, false

20 subsequent points straight to the east
20, 90, 0, 100, 100, true, false

20 subsequent points straight to the somewhere
20, x, 0, 100, 100, true, false

20 subsequent points somewhat to the east
20, 90, 45, 100, 100, true, false

50 subsequent points to the east, but losing track
20, 90, 60, 100, 100, true, true

@menion - where is the "straight face" emoji? you could have been a diplomat instead of a master programmer ;-)

Developers must be some tough species. You start with some idea, generously share ("could be useful for others"), add heaps of features, some of which you don't personally need... 10 years ago you thought "it's pretty complete", a year ago someone asked for feature 451441552, quote: "this is an absolute must-have, otherwise your app is garbage", yesterday Google broke something, tomorrow they tell you feature 45523645985 and 7458868.869022 are quintessential. Someone wishes you biblical plagues for not implementing things.

And then there's my sweet fellow germans, who always want a written documentation and write walls of text how things should be done. By others. From my experience, russians are also strong in that department.

Yeah, Menion behaves professional. Haha, there's dev comments on the Play Store, where devs, ok small devs, answer heat with heat 😁

</enduselesswalloftext>

And now Menion, give us more statistical tools, automatic pause waypoints, auto track to route alignment, all the algorithmical stuff, otherwise the app is invalid. Biblical plagues.

In route planner. Choose planning mode and disable checkbox "include navigation commands".

I've gone into route planner and I can't see planning mode!

Drawing mode. The big blue button.

I searched how to create the alternative route, then noticed, it was already there. Barely visible! But nice experiment. What parameters does it change to get a different result?
