I just received the sensor. Briefly connect Locus to the sensor and the temperature is displayed immediately. This works even faster and better than with the Garmin sensor and ANT under LM Classic. Thank you both for the tips.

Hello Menion, hello Andrew,

I have now received a reply from the supplier. Shipping costs of $35 are due for delivery to Germany. The sensor is therefore still very expensive.

When googling I got u. a. found the following sensor: "Brifit Thermometer Hygrometer". This sensor looks exactly like the WS 07.

At Amazon, this sensor costs only €13.59. I will test it once to check whether both sensors are really identical. Maybe I'll turn to you again with a question.

I just see that the back of the sensor also says WS07 (see picture). So it does appear to be the same sensor.

HDOP and VDOP may be problematic as well to be true. These values are not equal to "accuracy". It describes the situation of satellites in the sky and if they are able to provide an accurate location. So low HDOP value does not immediately mean accurate location.

Currently, the recording service ignores the first 10 locations after GPS is enabled. So first 10 seconds of fresh "fixed" locations are ignored. Good enough in most cases. Should be interesting to watch a visible horizontal accuracy. For this, already exists settings in the recording profile. Simply enable GPS in the skyplot screen and check visible accuracy.

I'll add NTRIP officially to the next app version.

Guys, very nice comments here, thanks all. Made me laugh 

@T-mo
crash with guidance > ah, got it, thanks!

@joeloc
copyright button is a good many-years-old button and you want to remove it?  I'm worried that terms of use of (almost) all maps require visible copyright on the screen when map is used.

What do you want to do with the app UI? Even if you remove it completely, there is still a colored map so it should not help at all.

Sharing point: you are trying to share basic point stored in the app data manager? Because this works to me correctly, so there has to be something special ...

@tapio
hmm problems with Audio coach .. I'm using it almost daily and no problems noticed. They should also really change with the change of recording profile. Will have to check it ...

@Viajero Perdido
Right swipe to dismiss point > I know I know. Not so easy now  , sorry

@razvaneduard
Please check in the side panel if online or offline LoPoints are enabled.

@Andrew Heard
99% stuck in notify center > hmm. Never noticed this. Anyway, all data are downloaded correctly so it is only a visual problem right?

Rare problems with elevation at the start of recording > I know I know. As I wrote somewhere, in the app exists a mechanism to prevent this problem, but seems not to be strong enough. There are options, so I'll look at it. Fortunately, editing & remove of few starting points is working and it is not a complicated task.

@jonny.blue
hehe, it is named "Line to destination" 

And the color ... as I see, it should inherit color from the navigation line style.

Uff 

@tapio - was watching your amazing YouTube videos. It all goes very quickly & it's hard to see what's happening & why. No captions. But all sorts of clever tricks I never knew were possible. Thanks.

Thanks. I am aware of it, they're bad, but cannot invest much time. Should probably press on screen longer, there's a white spot there. I am always considering sharing, but I also know tasks are complex and people with just a bit knowledge of Tasker will need support. That's holding me back. And all sorts of error handling needed if you share stuff.
Tasker+Falcos Locus plugin+Locus = holy trinity 😁

sadly IMHO Locus is not mentioned. I have experimented with all other 6 apps (long time ago) and settled on LM as the best

It's helpful to see what the expectations are. What I take from this is URL you posted, POI are of importance for many users. With OAM poi available offline, Locus has all that's needs, but the usability could be much better. Things like "POI along the route", "POI sets" (define a set of userdef poi categories)... But Menion is aware of.
Aw and that horrible scrollscrollscroll-Add100-scrollscroll-another100... Lopoi screen.

I have created a Tasker project.
Use case:
Phone on the handlebars of the bike. Screen off. Navigation of a route. At a turn Locus turns on the screen and makes a voice announcement. I like to have a small zoom to have some overview of the surroundings. But with a navigation announcement I don't really see the details of the turn. This requires a large zoom and right after that I need the small one again.
Solution:
With voice announcement Locus zooms to zoom level 20 (Adjustable) and after 7 seconds (Adjustable) back to the old value.

It is also possible to zoom only 2 or 3 levels instead of the fixed zoom level.

You can download the project via the link.

Criticism and improvements are welcome. Improvements are always possible.

Hello menion
thanks for the new version with LoPoint photos.
My question, how should a "normal" user of Locus find this function?
Neither under the search in Locus or the knowledge base nor in the blogpost are there any hints.
I myself had to search for a long time until I found this post...
https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=7994.0

there is a small display problem with me, see SS

where do I find the NTRIP function in the official version? I am lucky to have this function saved in a preset

option to limit LoPoint photo uploading with wifi-only setting

where can i find this setting option

using 4.11 as of today

I suggest to pause latest brainstorming on presets for some releases and updated features, until new calls possible, probably Menion and team save existing links, ideas and comments to some MS OneNote or alike. BR

There is more options on how to improve Presets. I'm still playing in my mind with two
- remember state before applying preset and allow restoring the previous state (already used in the navigation!)
- change the whole concept that you will be always in one active! preset (profile) and will just switch between them

I don't think the second option is a great idea: If implemented like that, every change of a setting *must* also change the active preset. That's definitely not what I want: If e.g. I change the map theme, I still want the original preset theme when I next activate it.
Only solution to this, I think would be that every change puts you in "unsaved preset", which you then can save, or discard when activating another preset. That would actually be cool, but I image it being rather complicated to implement.
Currently, I'm very happy with the existing system.

I have a simple request.
When searching for a address using online google just use online google

Jokes apart.
I noticed for quite a while the search is a bit stupid.
I'm normally copy contact info from a Website and search in Locus. The chance is high to get many results which has not much to do with the search or often I get no result at all.

Just as an example.
I searched for:
"Hotel Linger
Naunweg 21
I-39057 Girlan an der Weinstraße"
It finds nothing.

Now I have a tasker task to use Google Geocoding Api to search for the content in clipboard. Here it finds the location without any problem.
I even have not to deal with multiple useless result. At least for me it finds almost always what I was looking for.

I guess there were special request which over complicates the search algorithmen in Locus. Maybe it's a good idea to add a "simple search" toggle to just use the normal google/bing/.... approach.

I'm just not sure if I want to spend quite a lot of time with the second option (that I like more) ...

@arnor
discussed in a separate topic, weird anyway

@baegas
hmm, finally, amazing! Thanks for the patience.
More info about current GNSS status is already done in Locus GIS. I'll think about how to bring these values to Locus Map as well. Well, firstly we have to internally confirm, that NTRIP support should be added to Locus Map 

@Andrew Heard
eh 1500m jump, that is not nice  . Well, the app already skips the first few locations to avoid these problems. But I also noticed almost everytime, that the first few points have a higher elevation than it should be. Oki, thanks for the push, I'll at least look it ...

@luce
- "Navigation menu" > thanks, got it
- Empty screens > hmm, it seems to work correctly for me. Hope it was just a temporary problem of "older" version
- "Screen off, alt. version" > as I see, I was not touching this function since January. Sorry, no idea ..
- align of the side panel > thanks, fixed

Ok guys, I agree with you.
Added display of hw=path with bicycle=yes,public,allowed,designated,official,permissive to the Velo layer.
Check if everything is displayed for you.

also "Easy Tracks ^" (hw=track with tracktype=1,2) is enabled by default.

As for hw=track with tracktype = 3 and below, I'm not sure if it should be added to this layer...

Updated code, no release - here https://github.com/IgorMagellan/Tiramisu
(in the desktop version, click the Code button, select Download zip)

I think Saturo is right, the Tiramisu Velo Theme has to be changed to also show highway=path + bicycle=designated at least.

In OSM, a path is any way which is not meant for motorized traffic. This must not necessarily be a small path in the woods.
See OSM Wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dpath -> "Usage as a universal Tag"

It's also used for combined foot- and cycleways. Both of Saturos examples seem to be such combined ways (note that he changed the tagging to highway=cycleway in the meantime, which might be incorrect).

You can find many of such ways:

http://overpass-turbo.eu/?Q=way%0A%20%20%5Bhighway%3Dpath%5D%0A%20%20%5Bbicycle%3Ddesignated%5D%0A%20%20%5Bfoot%3Ddesignated%5D%0A%20%20(%7B%7Bbbox%7D%7D)%3B%0A(._%3B%3E%3B)%3B%0Aout%3B&C=49.7204;11.08559;14

If there is no cycle route going over it, these ways are invisible in Tiramisu Velo, although perfectly suitable for bikes.

Could you explain me how you connent to tasker? The only way I found was with Secondary Tasker App which is very limited.

Much easier way... And you can pass %par1 and %par2 into tasks just as in "Perform Task" command:

Code Select Expand

tasker://assistantactions?task=MyTask&par1=whateverArgument&par2={mapLat},{mapLon},{mapEle}

You may be interested... I'm sharing useful GPS related stuff up on Taskernet, eg. Pluscode, Latlon format converters, or a geopos calculator.
