Themes - Dashboards & Custom screens / Re: Are those values available in dashboards during navigation?

« on: January 22, 2020, 05:56:59 »

I think I figured it out on my own!

You only have to start the navigation and then additionally enable the tracking.
After that the described values should be available.

Can somebody confirm this please or is there another way?

It is as you say. If you use recording related values, a "-"is displayed if you are not recording.
So, some dashboards only make sense in a specific context.
Keep in mind you can a) define the use of dashboard per profile and b) auto exec. a profile on routing. Also you can trigger the execution of a profile from outside via the intent mechanism.

My dashboard while routing and recording is attached. It has the information you talked about.

I rarely use map rotation and if I do, mostly for one use case:

If i am at a complicated junction, eg with many tracks and I am not sure which is the right track to go. Having the map in same rotation as the real world helps for understanding.

I very rarely turn it on while walking. In any case, rotation centered around me.

I have no 100% opinion on this, but turning gps on if user turns rotation on feels like too much. I'd expect it to rotate around map center, whatever the use case may be. I'd leave it as it is, but I admit I always see the "options are good" side of things. Does not go well with Menions goal to streamline the Locus Monster.

Aber wie mach ich meine Menu (links oben) wieder komplett?

Gar nicht, dieser Fehler ist aber behoben und in der neuen Beta nicht mehr vorhanden.

So einen Logikfehler habe ich in einem anderen Fenster auch mal gesehen und gemeldet. Bei den Pieptönen bei Abweichen von der Strecke. Irgendwie was seltenes. Ich persönlich nutze die Parkfunktion nicht....

Saturo, bei Dir piept es, obwohl wie im Anhang eingestellt?

Genau, die Alpha tummelt sich im Beta-branch herum und wird entsprechend mit der Beta vom Play Store überschrieben.

Wobei ich mich schon öfter gefragt habe, nach welchem Algo brouter-web die 3 alternativen Routen berechnet und ob das evtl. auch im brouter in Locus nutzbar wäre.
Also ob es da evtl. ein Flag gibt oder ob mehr Aufwand dahintersteckt...

Letztlich aber bestimme ich lieber, wo es langgeht.

[DE] - deutschsprachiger Forumsbereich / Re: Tracks ganzer Ordner oder Gruppen ein und ausblenden

« on: January 05, 2020, 15:06:59 »

Korrekt. Für Ordner das Symbol antippen (viele kennen diesen wichtigen Umschalter gar nicht, Freischneider ist ja nun auch kein Neuling), für Gruppen gibt es keine Möglichkeit, und alle Punkte/Tracks kann man ausblenden via Hauptmenü oben rechts im Datenmanager.

Bei mir geht es um das Gleiche, es ist schon echt praktisch, wenn man schnell nachsehen kann, wo man schon war. Und dann sind da hunderte von Tracks, die ich geplant habe und wovon ich letztlich 10% tatsächlich gelaufen bin.

Hmm, I've just created two new presets and set to first to disable shading

You need to switch between two different shadings. I have attached all necessary files... Shading and profile files.

Menion, I have map shading with colored elevation in my profiles. After changing profile the map shading does not change. Does change/refresh on zooming map.

Menion, idea. If no panel is left on double tap, ie all set to hidden, because user wishes so (flexibility is good 😊) or if user didn't know: in order to prevent support question and in order to help user you could display the window as attached. ie on no bar + double tap.

Any plans for the top bar? To me it would be much more interesting if it could host all functions plus the stuff it already displays. At least, it could be split, there's a wasted right half.
When displaying battery, the old 2 lines of text were a better layout if you have a notch like I have. The text didn't go into the notch area, but now it does. I have attached the old bar and how it worked well eg with my Mate 20 X notch.

@luxcalor
- for hiding the right panel exists "Presets", so suggest to use them to modify the style of the main screen.

Hmmm, like Lux I also think it would be logical and flexible to just let the user fully hide each panel he wishes. Why should there be exceptions?
The only "problem" I see is, if all are set to hidden, double tap will do nothing.

When using the "main menu" - or whatever we call it...

Some functions (eg altitude manager, live chat) on exit return to the main menu,
Some finish the main menu as well.

@tapio
And what is a problem with the screenshots? Order of items in function panels? They start from the main menu to right and then to the top along the right side.

Yes, and in the config screen they start from top to bottom. It's OK, I can live with it.

Many users, - relatives - including my wife, only use what they see directly.
E. g. if there is a core functionality inside a menu, submenu or wherever, they never use it or know about the existence of it.
Have already experienced it. In an ebook reader, they may never change font. Never change a wordwrap setting. My wife even never changed the ipads brightness.
If they turn wifi off, "internet is broken since a couple of days". Quote of my father-in-law.

I'm usually rather speechless. I think it is quite common that nobody looks what an app/the os is capable of.

imo the worst case user == average case user.

"Configurable number of items in main menu" what is it then?

Also, see attachment. Contents of screenshots are in reverse order. I use map screen content.
