@lor74cas, @Andrew Heard thank's a lot for the clarification. Now I totally understand and believe I have a good news for you. I am just working on extension of elevation chart. After that you should have distance / time toggle for x axis.

The new version does what I need good job !
Thank you

Hello,
not yet implemented. Suggest voting here to increase priority and watch progress.

Does this basic and useful function really needs votes to be implemented?

Hello,
today I tried to plan a track with the app but the route excluded the passage on a bridge which has now been reopened, this with LoRouter Offline.
I switched to LoRouter online and the bridge was transitable.

@lor74cas could you have used manual/ direct routing for the section over the bridge?

Sure I can use it, but I know it was open because I personally updated the info on OSM, for this reason I tested the routing on the bridge

Hi,
split of LoMaps into some kind of tiles and far from doable, sorry. Anyway routing data are completely independent on the LoMaps. They are in the Locus Store currently under LoMaps as it was the easiest solution. But once you have downloaded any, the best is to use automatic updates and track them separately over settings > Navigation > LoRouter offline > settings button. Here you may set how often will be data updated. 4 days guarantee really small updates (only differences) so it is recommended option.

Thank you

[The problem is that there is no notification from locus if the altitude or navigation data is updated, the notification only appears when the map is updated.]

Hello,
there are other aspects of the store that need to be improved in my opinion:
today I tried to plan a track with the app but the route excluded the passage on a bridge which has now been reopened, this with LoRouter Offline.
I switched to LoRouter online and the bridge was transitable.
So I went to the store, I only updated the navigation data and now Lorouter Offline also finds the bridge open.
The problem is that there is no notification from locus if the altitude or navigation data is updated, the notification only appears when the map is updated.
The download speed in 4G is really slow despite the little data needed, therefore notification is required, so as to avoid having to do this when perhaps you are in a hurry.
I then wonder if it is possible to divide the map files into tiles, in order to update only those that have been really modified, at least for the LocusMaps. This way your servers would be less busy, as would our smartphones.

By timestamp I mean that the tracks recorded by gps and imported into the planner have no time references. It is not possible to make simple assessments

@lor74cas - do you mean display of timestamp in the chart popup? RWGPS makes this aspect so easy. Would be great to display the timestamp at any point of the track. +1

Exactly now we have just distance and elevation, we should change then graph to toggle distance/time from start/ time of the day or for each point in the pop up we need the info of timestamp

I always prefer to use my pc than my smartphone (although unfortunately they now have huge screens) to check my tracks and it would be very convenient to do so in the planner.

Hello,
today i tried a track/guide of Rother, locus is set in Italian, the excursion is to a place in Italy, but the guide is in German. It would be advisable to filter the contents for the preferred language or for other known languages or it would be enough to put a flag of the available languages in the list of available guides, without having to see it in detail.

update to 4.4.3.12 on Android 8 appears to perform correctly

On lineage with Android 9 and root I had the same.

In the route details. Can I move the "hide" button to the bottom bar?

+1

The new separated center button is great, and so is the smooth animation!

Agreed, but: Do you like its position? I'm kind of uncomfortable with it, because it reaches into the top part. I'd prefer the compass button to be top left... maybe.

The top right is too far away. Those who switch on and off more often should have it downstairs. That only makes sense if you don't change anything. But it could be to the right of the center button. I think it's pretty good downstairs. Although that's probably just a matter of habit.
There we are again at the free place. So everyone can push it where they want it.

+1 down

@lor74cas
Search system needs a big update > big plan on the Q1/Q2 of 2022. And in the route planner? You may partially use search over menu > Add point, or the long click on the "+" button.
...

Thank you for the tip, it's what I need, I did not remember the second function of + button, I think that a different icon is needed to remember this

Hello
Is there anyone else who would like a search button in the planner?
Maybe with the results sorted by geographic proximity to the center of the screen / cursor

I agree, as some unnamed inhabitants of the unnamed continent may use Locus this way and some 15 page disclaimer should be used, like what you should not do with a  microwave oven.

I personally insert short comments in similar spirit for some my challenging (on demand) profiles for MTB, that following routes given by that profile may cause heavy fatique, injury or even death of inexperienced users.

Don't use the microwave when hiking! 

If a tool fails because it was used, where it should not be, it is not the fault of the tool.

If there is a profile for hiking and the ETA is calculated, this is a tool that any inexperienced person can consider suitable. Not everyone who uses Locus is experienced hikers, some of them may be tricked into trusting the ETA and risk getting into trouble. I hope it never happens, but if someone gets hurt or needs to ask for help because they based their hike on the Locus ETA estimate, without any warning in the app, who would legally answer?
I think a warning is needed in the app, to protect developers from possible legal action, but even more so to clarify that ETA is not an exact science, but a rough estimate.
