@tapio - suggestion - given your theme is for cyclists, optionally display bike parking as POI? Attached is map around OSM node https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6804728475. Maybe I have missed a theme setting? Online LM route planner correctly displays the bike park @ https://web.locusmap.app/en/?lat=-42.883736&lng=147.333798&z=19&map=hikeBike (although it is tiny, nearly invisible), as does online bikerouter @ https://brouter.m11n.de/#map=19/-42.88322/147.33309/standard.

Menion footer, for example @ https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=8684.msg74180#msg74180

"Error when nav points are close" > better error is of course better , but I need to simulate it to set up and verify the correct error message.

@Menion - as reported I tried to reproduce too without luck, sorry

"Font size" > I hoped it would be possible to temporarily reduce the size of the font for the whole tablet.

it didn't even occur to me to try

This is the default size? We talk about your Tab A7??

yes default size on Tab A7

it's specific and due to the way the mappers have drawn the bridge

@Tapio - that's OK - it was kind of you to attempt. Is there some problem with how the bridge ways are described? It was me that added the north side footpath/ cycleway, with some nervousness, being alongside a major highway, but maybe it can be improved.

I could of course export to gpx and rebuild it

@Tapio or Cloud Sync, then delete on device, then Cloud Sync... if you dare. Quite slow too, of course. I have done this once & it worked but still feels risky.

Unfortunately I still have issues with that test bridge. Theme displayed on  dashboard at top/left corner. All relevant theme tick boxes are ticked.

thanks Karl - the Christmas edition!

Is there a way you can put all the points in a folder by some sort-order so you don't have to do a free-text-search each time? That would save some tapping time.

Error message in the "Navigate to" screen > in the error is clearly visible that the computed route is a one-point only line. How you did this?  . Start and end locations are identical?

@Menion I was experimenting with https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=8701.msg74100#msg74100 checking #steps to navigate on a tablet. There is no GPS signal. Just desk exercise. The steps were as per my post. It is quite possible the Start and end locations were close, certainly on the same screen. But I have tried to reproduce without luck. I guess if that is an issue a more user friendly error could be displayed though.

Error during sync > hmm, incident ID is required here. Could you reduce the font size a little so the ID will be visible?

How to reduce font size just of that one error screen? There was no incident ID I could scroll or drag up from bottom. That screen capture is the whole tablet screen with default Android font heights.

I refer to last stored method for reaching the point (car/bike/etc - I always use car).

@preferlocus - I selected the Fast car first time, then for each further navigation the Fast car was still selected. Is this different for you? It's hard to imagine how the # steps could be reduced for an ad-hoc list of points except to have all points in a single ordered folder rather than needing a free-text search.

• While commenting @ https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=8701.msg74100#msg74100 I got this sort-of-error a couple of times when the blue navigate icon is tapped

• While doing a Cloud Sync I got this error, which would have been helpful except there is no point mentioning an "incident ID to include while contacting" if the ID doesn't exist

Out of interest I tried to reduce the # steps. But I couldn't...

• tap on Points button in side panel (configured)
• tap on magnifying glass
• enter search title
• tap on magnifying glass
• scroll & tap on result
• tap on navigate button
• tap on Navigate To button
• tap on navigate button

but if you are moving between 50 points (50 parcels) how is using "last stored point" useful?

Hi, in the Locus news I have seen there's a fancy startup animation. Not here. Is the startup supposed to look like mine?

@tapio - animation only on devices where Android version >= X.

Thanks @freischneider. I've just set it up. I had tried it ~2020 but wasn't working so well. Now both wired USB and Wifi TCPIP methods are working very nicely.

for others:

• extract ZIP to C:\Program Files\scrcpy
• connect phone to PC
• scrcpy-console.bat
• or with phone also connected over Wifi
• scrcpy --tcpip

@alf - thanks for your report. I gave up on Bluestacks a long time ago. It is a memory hog. Certainly with *only* 8GB RAM it sometimes won't start. I'll give Remix a go, because for many desk/ office tasks it's much better using a PC with mouse & keyboard than a small screen device. Does Locus have documentation on the various Windows options? It would be useful for others if Remix is added to the list of options.

BUT does Remix still exist/ still evolving? The jide.com website appears dead, so is this option also a deadend?
