Hi,

Under settings -> Navigation -> Navigation data source , I have selected GraphHopper. In the configuration options for GraphHopper for car there is an option which seems to be quite confusing about what is actually does:

Checkbox: Avoid highways
Description: Avoid roads with limited access (highways)

For me this does not make sense. A highway is not a road limited access, infact, just the opposite! Could someone explain to me what this checkbox really means?

Many thanks,
KnightAzul

Hi,
Could anyone tell me where has the confirm on exit option gone, which was under the miscellaneous section of the settings? I can't find it anywhere in settings, and would like to unset that option.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,

I also deinstalled Locus and then reinstalled and it still went back to that very same map position while Locus was trying to get a GPS fix. Like you say, it looks like the system function "getLastKnownLocation" is returning some weird cached value for some reason.

I installed some other map apps. I removed Google Maps a long time ago
And by doing this is it somehow seemed to reset the cache for "getLastKnownLocation" and now it seems to be working fine again.

I'll keep an eye out to see if it happens again!

Thanks,

Hi,

Perhaps I didn't explain myself so well. I can get a GPS fix (in Locus and other apps), it takes a few seconds as always. But...

My problems are:

* After starting the Locus app the last GPS fix field (on the GPS screen) is always empty. Even if I got a GPX fix in Locus a few moments before. It is like exiting out of Locus means that it forgets any previous GPS fixes.

* 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.

The second problem is the one which affects me most.

Hi,

After starting the Locus app the last GPS fix field (on the GPS screen) is always empty. This is even after exiting out of the app with a successful GPS fix, just for a few seconds, and then opening it again. It would be better to remember the last GPS fix on exiting the app, and use this on starting the app again?

The result right now is that every time that I go into the Locus app and ask for a GPS fix (icon at the bottom left) it moves the map to the same position (no idea why that same position in particular - I don't remember ever setting this position as being something special - but I guess corresponds to an empty last GPS fix field), no where near where I am, until it gets a GPS fix.

I have the latest Pro version 3.18.6 from Google Play installed.

Thanks for any help!

Hi,
I was happy with the basic map app Locus Pro version 1.x and didn't see any need to update! However, I wanted to check out the navigation functionality and this forced me to upgrade  
Thanks for the reply and great app!

Hi,
I have just upgraded Locus Pro from version 1.something to the latest version: 2.6.3. I noticed that on startup two things happen which did not happen before:

1) It seems that every time starting there is some popup window being shown very briefly before the main application starts up. It disappears too quickly for me to be able to read it. What is this?

2) On startup I get the "Network enabled" popup which I guess means that positioning by network is enabled and then when I exit I get the "Network disabled" popup. Is this affecting any general Android setting?

Thanks,
KnightAzul
