just testing it and the app behave like this already. Share with me please one problematic file for test, thanks.

Attached a file here, cannot send attachment to you via pm. File is from GPSLogger Android App.

No intensive testing currently. Generate trip, interesting stuff. If I drag the map center away from point 1, Generate Trip should point to this direction already. More general, it should initially point to map center.

Menion, if I import a GPX file with no name tag inside, Locus names the track with a number (here: 1584169770280). Maybe a unix timestamp. Is that new behaviour? I think, and I prefer, it used the filename without extension before. I already name the gpx files reasonably with date/time, so I'd love to use those.

The new point screen is good stuff. I don't like that the command bar is always on top of text elements. I. e. when I drag the point information up, there's always some information behind it.

EDIT.OK I see, Zossebart has already reported and Menion confirmed it.

Thx for the update. Lovely toolbar size is back  .
Excessive word wrapping in cities, see attachment. Idk if it is because of VolUK theme or Locus. Edit: after a Locus restart not happening any more, weird. I think I have seen that behaviour some time ago.

That huge toolbar size though. In stable, I have 16 items in the vertical bar. In beta it's 13 visible items.

New beta does not start,,, attachment... I am not interested in graphhopper.

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. 

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.

- 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.

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.
