Still the same joeloc .

@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.

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?

"Quick drawing" in the Route Planner options.

could you share your Tasker profile anyway, please?

I removed unrelated parts and added in some configurability. If you have questions, best is you create a topic in Tasker forum then. Feel free to ask.
Important, this requires the Locus Tasker plugin, see Play Store.

or other ideas? It's annoying when data is lost. Thanks.

Exactly the same happened to me... and same ideas years ago. I went for Tasker, check Status of LM via Tasker plugin and beep.

But now as you mention it, I'm not sure if my task worked the last times haha, need to check my infrastructure...

However... core action is "Beep" and "Request sensors and stats", you need %is_track_rec_recording" and check if it matches true.

But an "Alive beep" is a good thing, for the serious LM user, pls suggest it! A beep would not necessarily make aware of LM failure, but also Android. In my case the recording stopped because of an Android hard restart. Yes, should be added to the trainer. "isRunning" and "isRecording" beep.

First trackpoint of a planned track: confirmed.

Fixed in newest version.

Menion, please notice. The bottom command bar in point mode is barely shown. This is independent from using fullscreen mode.

Falls es Wole um den Social-Krams geht, also hier Touren von anderen Leuten, das sehe ich nicht und das wäre ja auch nicht Locus' Ausrichtung.

Because someone has to write and maintain it more or less for free.

I tell you my workflow if I'm on Android:

- Have a theme xml outside of the themes zip distrib.
- 2: Edit theme xml with QuickEdit+.
- Copy into the zip with Totalcmd
- Switch to Locus, press map content button, press my theme, again my theme (now it's reloaded and applied)
- GOTO 2 if change necessary

Beware, every slight syntax error results in map not being displayed. Just eg when you make mistakes on webservers, eg Perl, - http 500

If file resides on PC I pull it with Totalcmd Android/SMB to my phone.

No. The Hike & Bike theme is not configurable in that regard.

Rundenzeiten: Das hat LM nicht eingebaut. Ich sehe da auch keine realistische Frickel-Lösung.

LM3 sagt, es benutzt [sd]/Locus/ (wundert mich bei Android 14) und Du sagst, das existiert nicht? Da wäre dann etwas faul.

I am not testing it, also no experience with notification interception. Just compare with this one, don't waste actions, don't create unnecessary global variables.
For super simple profile tasks of no value use anonymous tasks (are created if you don't name the profiles task). They just belong to a profile and don't appear in your task list.

The notification profile passes many local variables %eventprm into the entry task.

@Tapio maybe a little Tasker demo project to share?

Sure, demo task. Please test the icon part as Menion suggested, haven't done yet. Also haven't tested the map move commands.

Menion, would a database path attribute be possible, so we could directly implant points into the database? Would open up for great possibilities.

https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8kdDIMDeveQcQfRglam%2Fah1mTW%2FWcg05FZ39c0i1q%2F77iY3E7cIwxCkXqJTaTA%3D&id=Task%3ALM4RndPoints_DataIntent

This new intent is super interesting, a hidden gem? but I can't make it do anything. Nothing happens in LM.
If this method would allow for putting stuff directly into the db, that would be gold.
