If there are just few reasoable routes, such profiles can provide the same route.

Would like to see what route @menion would suggest. Certainly the one using this URL seems logical without benefit of any local knowledge.

Pula... my first visit of western countries in 1978 with my parents. Amfiteatr, Brioni, rocky coast, nice western cars..

You probably wouldn't recognise Pula now. All Istria coast is one big marina and accommodation strip ;-(

Is this the 2nd route - http://brouter.de/brouter-web/#zoom=12&lat=45.4895&lon=13.8848&layer=OpenStreetMap&lonlats=13.91192,45.5777|13.96209,45.40608&nogos=&profile=car-test&alternativeidx=0&format=geojson

Same route calculated for car-test/ fastbike. Just curious.

2. this is weird, should not happen :/. Only main menu has changed? Function panels not? (they share same settings variable).

yes even weirder, problem happens on Samsung Note 3 tablet, but correct buttons/ positions on Sony Z1.

But now after reboot of tablet it is displaying correct buttons/ positions too. hmmm

[BETA version 3.18.9.1]

New BETA version 3.18.9.1 is just uploading to Google Play.

1. I tried menu > More functions > Map items > (no items in list) > tap big + button at bottom > boom (unfortunately Locus has stopped working).

2. position & content of all 6 user buttons on main menu had changed, a little annoying

* On starting the Locus app and clicking the icon at the bottom left to get a GPS fix, while Locus is trying to get a GPS fix, the map is always moved to the same position (no idea why that same position in particular - I don't remember ever setting this position as being something special) no where near where I am, until it gets a GPS fix.

@menion recall this issue by KnightAzul has been seen before, for me at least the map used to be positioned to (0, 0) before a valid GPS fix occurred but you made some changes & I have not had problems like this for many many months.

@Siftersam try Main menu > settings > Track recording > Automatic start = No action.

@menion BTW - this setting could have blue text on Track recording settings screen indicating the current value.

Sounds like you want to disable automatic track recording. Take a look at settings > Track recording.

I agree with Arndt regards new BRouter customization.
Thanks for ability to hide the left track recording button.
Thanks for 2 new track styles and more empty space between icons in other styles. The spacing looks really good now - can see underlying road better.

I often think in Parero's principle 80:20.

Peter, Locus users are not part of the 80% of smartphone map users, those 80% simply use Google Maps and are happy with it.
This is my experience in more than 5 years using Locus and showing it to other people who are surprised what I can do with this smartphone app with the strange name (meaning of Locus in German).
But almost all of them stick with Google Maps though I show them that it misses a lot of outdoor information compared to Vector maps in Locus, route planning with brouter, ...
Locus is and should stay a Swiss Army Knife, only then it is useful in the wild.

I agree fully with Poutnic on new internal themes. I used on off last few weeks but now other than to view city names more clearly with Road theme I have given up hope. Will stick with OAM.

I would keep scenario themes as the baseline, with bunch of check-in options to tweak them,
like Elevate theme for OpenAndroMaps ( Hiking / Cycling / City, each with lot of options )

In AUSTRALIA-Tasmania more summer riding, for South Australia more winter, for top end only dry-season, each state is very different. Every culture is different. Viva la difference.

Agree with @gynta, can't see point of season-based themes.

Why, if there are season-based paper maps ? E.g. summer/winter outdoor maps for highlands or mountains.

maybe for some countries, but weird concept for others.

I disagree. Those activities don't necessarily happen just in that season. Confusing. Why not just individual activity based themes like Elements LE? Seems consistent with recording profiles, maybe.
