Hi,

you're right. However - firstly, we are planning to reduce their number, select only the most used, and change their naming in order to improve their comprehensiveness.

Superb Wolfgang! Thank you very much, the image has been added to German manual.

Hi Wolfgang,

okay, but there's a problem - it's quite difficult to make it happen when all our Gplay accounts are registered in Czech rep. Will you please provide a screenshot of the page with EUR values? I'll gladly add it to the manual. Many thanks!

And if anybody from U.S. reads this - will you please make a screenshot of Locus Store > Purchase Locoins with USD values and post it here? Many thanks, will be much appreciated!

Hi,

go to settings > sensors > orientation filter and set some heavier filter - the compass movement will be slower but less jerky.

As for Glonass - it depends on the device GPS unit - Locus Map accepts its data and if it sends Glonass data, Locus Map receives and processes them.

Hi,

I would check these settings:
- settings > navigation > voice (watch for TTS - it doesn't have to be functional for all languages - testing recommended)
- settings > navigation > advanced > strict route navigation OFF (if you miss some of the points due to e.g. poor GPS signal, navigation will direct you to the missed point and won't continue in navigating along the route)
- navigation > advanced >number of commands > medium or high (depends what you need)

If you prefer guidance along a track, check following:
- settings > guidance > set next trackpoint distance
- _"_ > set notification of the next direction change ON > set sound/beep/TTS...
- _"_ > advanced > strict route guidance OFF, number of alerts medium or high, notify on every trackpoint OFF

If all this is done and voice or alerts don't work, send me GPX of your route at pr@asamm.com I'll test it

dobrý den,

ano, řešení je stále obdobné. Zatím nedisponujeme synchronizací dat přes cloud jako Google Řešení je popsáno zde: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=cz:manual:faq:move_to_new_device_sd_card.

Co se týče SD karty, nový Android sice poněkud uvolnil politiku zákazu zápisu aplikací na SD kartu, ale stále to ještě není ono (a nejspíš už ani nebude). Lze přesunout pouze adresář zálohování, vektorových map a SRTM (výškových) dat. Více informací zde: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=cz:manual:faq:use_sdcard_on_kitkat#zmeny_v_androidu_50

For me the new sorting option is much better than the previous one. Now I clearly see my purchased LoMaps in one "L" folder sorted by states. Other maps are in two MAPS directories, one for vector maps, other for rasters. One thing I would appreciate - either merge these two MAPS directories in one - OR rename the vector MAPS to MAPSVECTOR (the first option preferred).

old sorting vers new sorting in my case:

Thanks KaHeMu for your help... Silvermapper, I think you've hit the point, however let me summarize how to backup your Locus Map data to a PC:

• Locus > More > Backup > select whether to backup settings or all data (incl. points, tracks...)
• Copy your backup file stored in Locus directory/Backup to PC - via Dropbox, USB cable etc.
• Maps have to be saved separately, they are not part of the backup process

When restoring data or moving to another device, make sure the device is registered under the same Google play account. Copy the backup file to Locus/backup directory, tap Menu >Backup > Restore and select your backup file

Dobrý den,
Vše o exportu tras naleznete zde: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=cz:manual:user_guide:tracks:export.
Trasy se při exportu z tabletu nemažou, zůstávají stále v paměti. Pokud byste je chtěl mazat, musíte k tomu využít opět správce tras, viz http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=cz:manual:user_guide:tracks:management#spodni_lista_seznamu_tras.

Hi silvermapper again
Time to target and Distance to target values are available in Navigation along a route. Time to target is calculated according to your current speed and is very approximate. Recommended procedure when you get to the spot from where you want to hike:

• select the track to follow (in tracks tab or on map of Locus)
• open the navigation menu
• select Navigation - three new fields appear in the upper part of the screen - a field with distance and shape of the next turn and two customizable fields that can display Distance to target and Time to target

More about navigation along a route here: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:along-route

I added information that the button is hidden when no 3rd app is installed. Thanks for the remark!

Hi silvermapper,
the "grey box" shows the distance to the next turn in case your position is on the navigation route. If it's not, there's the question mark. Similarly, the distance is "incorrect" as Locus Map measures it from your actual position and navigation line might be narrower in places that are closer to your actual position than the starting point of the route.

However, seeing your questions, there's the question 0709 has implied - if you need Locus Map to make a route for you from a point A to point B (via points C, D, etc.), it's much better to use the "Add new route & measure" function. "Navigate to" is good for navigation from your actual position and the change of the starting point position is just additional.

ahoj, tak časové údaje asi nedoplníme, ale mohl bys pomocí funkce "Přidat trasu & měření" zbytek trasy naklikat přímo do mapy a pak trasy spojit. Více o funkci je zde: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=cz:manual:user_guide:tracks:planning, trasy spojíš tak, že si je ve složce Trasy označíš a z menu vpravo dole zvolíš "spojit".

hi Willy,

you're absolutely right. However, Silvermapper asked about Navigate to function and we tried to find out where was the trouble. Perhaps we were successful

Auto recalculate can be ON before start. But if you 1) calculate the route, 2) switch auto recalculation ON, then the current position overrides the planned start point.
