Hmmm, I'm quite sure I noted this once:
I don't use presets a lot and I am familiar with all settings, so I'm fine.
Though in my opinion as new user you might get easily misleading and the most important notice is only given after hitting a button: see screenshot.
IMHO this should be noted above the presets..as any already available choice will apply the pre-settings (just a limited number of all, sure) and will move you away from your current settings - whatever you are using now, and maybe you are not aware of, after applying it will not be available any more, no undo also. Tryout is a one way ticket.
So creating a new preset is a must have as 1st step..or try and error.
If it would be up to me I would check preset usage.. if applying a preset 1st time or after 3 months of inactivity here, spend a note and request confirmation.

plannings for introducing custom buttons in dashboards would improve flexibility and if so, I am with tapio, it should be possible to trigger any kind of action with it, like any other digital (UI) or hardware button would do.

@Menion: when optimizations in LoPoints and search get addressed, I suggest to also use some 2 weeks of collecting/sharing ideas, opinions, needs upfront

now I see with zoom in my screenshots above..each button has an octogonal shape in the background-layer
maybe some transparency/alpha-channel leftover or support for contrast, dunno

- cannot really see a change
- do the buttons have a 1px border of different color? Looks a bit strange, some visual effect
- compass needle - this way ok to me
- blue color of lock-symbol for centering-lock is still of low contrast and super ugly

I guess English is the only language that has reroute as own verb, most languages have 'route' as noun only and then it's the sensitive question what's up with it..a lot of possible words might even sound awkward as noone would use it that way
As long as we write locus without k everything is fine..

I always thought - what do you think - it's hard to spot what's an upper level, what is collapsed, what's expanded?

this might be on Menion's ToOptimise-List as already noted..
current LoPoint-UI is that useful to me to not use it

beta 4.8.2.1
pip: wow great, very much appreciated
some notes:
- the double-arrow-button or double-tap brings it to fullscreen,but then immediately puts it in background or whatever..same with close-button
- by design pip seems to run in a separate process, so when using android opened apps, we have to not go back to last locus-process which is pip,but the next one then

4.6.1.5 launched, still AFA version to avoid possible mess.
A11 here.
Is this the point to backup, backup backup and better go with non-AFA with beta?

honestly, being able to understand and manage the complete toolchain and generate individual maps is great.
but putting efforts being others able to do so and sharing tools and description
is absolutely master class!
Let me say thanks though I am not able to dive in the very near future (time and projects)!!

LM 4.6.0
reg. Routeplanner:
- after calculation by using the build-in routing is the ETT (estimated travel time) based on the Profile used? Would make sense, but I would prefer using another one if evaluating bike-routes, maybe one of the ETT-list, by default..
- as known 'recalculate all' tells to switch to brouter. Though I want to use graphhopper (online service) which shouldn't be really tricky at least with a simple start-end-route. Trick is to resort via itinerary back and forth, then it works    I suggest to optimize this artificial limitation and the switch-dialog..if really necessary at all, don't know
- doing this I recognised some layout flaws sometimes appearing, see screenshots..route overview at top instead of back-button or not shown at bottom

changes and scoped storage is nothing really "new"
A11 (Android) here, still Locus 4.4
why? .. .. ..too experimental

@T-mo
why you wrote "I am not always able to swipe the list away downside"? It is the most intuitive method how to dismiss bottom panel(s).

sure

@T-mo - sorry, but can you explain further, or annotate a screen cap?

sure,see pics
in case of itinerary, I asked myself how to get back..and was afraid 'top left arrow' exits Route Planner as it mostly does..swiping down isn't always possible, I tried though

Honestly I rarely use rotation..not sure though if with moved map rotation-button switchs itself off after 1x press to align north..I suppose most use-cases would be to check region ahead, view-direction, a bit left and right, maybe temporary change orientation to north,then back..so still on but view orientation changes

4.4.3.7_1044_beta
I like the new button/rotation setup . I understood that the right graphics are in creation, the current dots are only temporary..surely, dots wouldn't be useful at all.

Using RouePlanner and showing itinerary I am not always able to swipe the list away downside and thought better not use the top-left exit-arrow, as it would possibly END Route planner. Yes, it does not and behaves like swiping down and brought me back, hides the itinerary.
Is this also irritating to others?
