The screen on Locus Map 4 is much darker than on Locus Map 3.
Additional finding: When the program ends, the screen briefly becomes 100% bright.
all same/ similar to LM3 for me

Hide all tracks and points.
The button in the @freischneider attachment is obscured by right side panel buttons on my phone.

There are also the Route Planner Undo/ Redo buttons if you make a mistake?

Troubles & Questions / Re: Information mode

It is quite surprising that tapping an actively recorded track doesn't display more information either. A reminder to an old suggestion here.

LM4-93 - agree with @john_percy. Double tap mostly brings up the menu after a brief flash - expected. However the response to a single tap seems to have periods when ignored, other periods when OK. Eg 10 taps+10 back in 20 seconds are OK, but then a further 10 taps are all ignored. It seems the other buttons are OK although I haven't tested thoroughly. I don't recall this in LM4-91, although hadn't noticed this problem until John's post.

That's no worries.

I was thinking that maybe it should be allowed to define what to display in the map content panel. I never need geotag photos e. g., or active elements.
and allow hiding the Map Content button from the main screen altogether to increase map space, reduce clutter. Allow alternate means for all map content panel functions by other means so equally accessible via presets, side panels, settings panel, more settings panel, quick settings (I think has already been discussed but seemed like a good opportunity  :D

LM4 933 - Nearest Points screen - working nicely. Thanks @menion.

LM4 391 Interesting only this one time for me during installation, Google Play Protect says it hasn't seen this app before & asks to scan.

On my device, I see 26 characters, so I never considered this a big problem (old Pixel 2 device with average resolution).
ahh stupid Andrew - each time I tested the change of Android settings > Display > Font & Screen Zoom, I forgot to tap Done at exit, so the settings were simply ignored. I now confirm the text height is indeed changed to reflect this setting like your video. I do agree with @0709 it should not be necessary to change this global setting for the need of one app, Locus. I think the final result of harmonizing the font, and line wrapping for consistency with the point & track lists is still a good move forward.

Your device has from time to time some weird behavior :).
just weird owner

And sorry for my English, I wanted to say enabled break of the first line to two rows
infinitely better than my Czech ;) & as @menion always remind us, no need for sorry

@Andrew Heard
For me, it works correctly, it just needs a restart.
@menion - are you saying the Description text in your points/ tracks/ nearest points lists are affected/ altered by the Android system-level displayed font size setting?

Quote from: menion on May 12, 2020, 11:01:09So two changes and we will see what your device says
See on your device too? Aren't you seeing the same issue with a longer-than-15-character point description in Nearest Points list?

Quote from: menion on May 12, 2020, 11:01:09
- enabled option to break the first line to two rows
Do you mean a user option, or just not worded how you meant? It should be automatic like the track & points lists, not an option.

@Andrew Heard
please try to fully close and re-open the app. For me, it works correctly, it just needs a restart.
@menion - a restart makes no difference - the descriptions in the Nearest Points list are always the same font size. Since my last post I have some more observations:

  • The descriptions in the track & points lists are also a fixed font size, but this is OK because the text, if any, wraps to the 2nd line.
  • The descriptions in the Nearest Points list are truncated instead of wrapped to the 2nd line. I count only 15 characters max. can be displayed per point in this list.
  • The font in the Nearest Points list is also from a different family, and appears less compact.

However that help topic was a question, not a suggestion. To be fair it was answered accurately. I *really* don't want to shorten my point descriptions just so they are more readable. For context: this limitation has come to prominence with the Nearest Points feature - I can't distinguish any of the nearest points from their truncated descriptions.

hours of work I bet, but it does look REALLY good

Just the difference between a "h" and "*". Fussy computers ;)

I had commented elsewhere how beautiful @karlchick's legend PDF was, but only downloaded your one recently. Equally impressive. Thank you. How was it produced?
