Honestly, I don't use LoPoints as the whole UI-experience gives me more stress than something of use.
But LoPoints-rework is already on top of 2do IIRC.

Nevertheless, using new MF4-maps and LoPoints-offline and going for 'Points around' and doing this twice seems to give me doubled results, the icons are slightly different with outline and shadow and without.

edit: doubled entries are given if additionally the eye in menu is enabled. Btw would expect to have points not shown at all if eye is disabled
edit2: might be due to other .dB available in other folders

beta 4.14.2.4

do you use OAM ? I also had double points because OAM also places the points database in the automatic DL. You get then LoPoi and OAM Poi displayed. OAM Poi but unfortunately you can not hide. It goes only with database delete. But you have to do that again with every update.
Here the user interface would have to be extended to be able to show and hide OAM Poi.

hmm nice main menu in display. And what you suggest? With Locus Map 4 you may hide everything except "Copyright" button. But this one will be in the next app version semi-transparent, so at least a little smaller problem.

I don't know a perfect solution... but Locus is responsible for destroying amoled displays for a long time now. It has by definition by far the longest screen on time at the brightest setting of any app. Putting some more thoughts into this is overdue.

Auto hiding the menu bars is obvious... but what about other elements? Like track recording icon? GPS icon? Scale?

Maybe a little transparency for these (80%?) could help, without causing too much usability trouble? A better but more complex solution might be to shift the whole UI around SLIGHTLY by a few pixels every day. Half a millimeter or something is hardly recognizable but will go a long way in protecting displays.

I think they are exaggerating a bit here. Why do they always have the screen on ? Normally they are hiking or biking and look at the path. On Locus you look only if you need information. So the screen can stay off 70% of the time.

Die Karten auf meinem S10 laufen weder mit LM3 (Pro) noch LM4 (Free) flüssig. Update gibt's nur 1 mal die Sekunde, dementsprechend sieht's halt auf. Fährste 100 ist man dann eben schon fast 28 m weiter.

Okay ich spreche nur von fahrradfahren und wandern. Locus ist auch nur für diese Aktivitäten optimiert. Für das Auto nimmt man besten Google Maps.

Ich hatte früher auch ein S8 und Locus ging mit LM3 sehr gut. Aber ich habe bemerkt damit das S8 die letzten jahre immer langsamer wurde. Locus habe ich schon länger nicht mehr drauf.
Habe seit 2,5 Jahren ein Redmi Note 10 Pro und habe LM4 drauf. Da läuft alles super. Und der Akku hält 2 Tage.

Klicke oben links auf dein Profil und dann auf Profile Details. Ganz unten kannst du dein Gerät eintragen. Ich habe noch weitere Infos in die Signatur gemacht.

I have from time to time also paths where according to the map are not accessible. Sometimes it is also wrong. But a change arrives too late at the router.
I always switch to manual here. I have it on long press on routing profile.
If I need turn-by-turn directions at this point, I make a via out of the shaping and give it an appropriate name. This is then announced.

i wish here. The route planner manually detects and automatically generates a turn-by-turn indication based on the angle.

I wanted to try it too. But officially only apps from the Amazon App Store work. And Locus is not in there. I read that you can also run the Play Store. But this is not official and is only for people who know it.

Can I also save the files as a ZIP ? Or can Locus not read them then. I have saved them internally.
If ZIP goes, must then all ZIP be or does it also go as ZIP and unpacked mixed.
Since then I have each unzipped and then pushed to the phone. But is a lot of work. And it also takes until they are moved via USB. For quick and practical tips I am grateful.

trackpoint view - heh, probably because of two lines caused by the long track name right? . Hmm, thanks.

Just tested --> yes because of 2 lines. With one line it is good.

I wanted to have only one app for all outdoor activities and not different ones and every time I have to think how to do it in this app.
Here was only Locus Map that covered everything. and after 6 years I am of the opinion that there is no better in this area.
For car navigation use Google Maps, in this area is simply the better choice.
When I go hiking or .... I choose a parking place in Locus Map and then select Google Maps for navigation.

Dann am besten mal im Helpdesk melden. Oder im Beta Forum zu dem Beitrag. Ich denke auch es sollte die Möglichkeit geben das Wetter abzuwählen. Noch besser wäre zu wählen was in der unteren Leiste ist und in welcher Reihenfolge.

Tipp: durch langes drücken auf das Routingprofil kannst du schnell umschalten zwischen zB. MTB und manuell.

das sind die grünen Dreiecke im Routenplaner. https://docs.locusmap.app/de/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:tracks:planning

Steht was in den Versions Hinweisen ? Es haben schon einige gemeldet. Da wird nächste Woche eine Antwort kommen.
