Hi Menion!

Would it be possible to add a list of closest POIs within the alert range? Or at least the closest one, please.
Like:
"{POIalert_name}"
"{POIalert_distance}"
"{POIalert_bearing}"

The list option could have 5 closest POIs ("{POIalert_name_1}" etc)

This would be useful at least for Geocahing, when serching for closeby caches. Unless you decide to implement this as a part of POI alert, which would be even greater!

I had a slightly different problem today. I was using Locus just for a backup map, with GPS on and screen turned off. Suddenly I became popular and received two phone calls. After both calls the GPS was turned off in Locus!? The system GPS switch was on, but Locus had decided, that GPS should be turned off. I used the setting "Turn off GPS when display is off".
Not a big problem, unless you are recording.

OK, I tried it.
Separate file causes that the waypoints are shown always, without any connection to the original geocache. Maybe I did something wrong?
So I modified my "PQ" generator to place all waypoints immediately after the geocache, this works as I wanted. (After I cleared the cache, apparently some old waypoints were still haunting me).

I'm happy! It is hard to think of new improvements; maybe you could make my battery last longer

One more idea. The entry for a projection (degrees and meters) starts out with "0.0" in both fields.
Almost always I have to delete (backspace) at least the the last zero and the point.
Couldn't the field be empty by default. This would have the extra bonus, that then you can also see the units (degrees and meters).

OK, thanks!

I tried the testing version and it does show the additional waypoints (child waypoint).
But there is a catch, I don't know if it is your problem or mine?
If the child waypoint immediately follows the actual geocahce, it works fine. It will be included as a waypoint in the geocache listing.

BUT if the child waypoint is somewhere else in the file, it will be shown as a separate point and has no connection to the actual geocache. I was hoping that a waypoint S12ZXXX would be automagically connected to a geocache GC2ZXXX.

Would it work, if the child waypoints were in a separate file?

I need these kind of points for example for solved mystery caches. If others do not complain, then it is my fault and I have to collect my child waypoints and place them immediately after the 'parent' geocache.

You're wellcome!
I have a bit unrelated questions:
1) I lost the place where I can find the latest testing versions
2) If I uninstall Locus Free, will the cached maps, POIs still remain?

Hi Menion!

Has something been changed with additional waypoints in 1.9.6?
Yesterday I was testing my GPX files and got extra the waypoints. With the new release I cannot get them The first POI info box shows "Waypoints 0". And the geocache box does not show them.


If I have a large GPX file (~1000 geocahces) does it matter where the extra waypoints are in the file?
And how is a waypoint (e.g. PA12345) connected to a geocache (GC12345)? I guess you take away the prefix 'PA', replace it with 'GC' and have the connection?
Are there any requirements on the prefix 'PA'; can it be any two characters?

Even this simple GPX file does not show the additional parking and trailhead points. It was loaded directly from geocaching.com (Send to GPS).

About the html=true/false. This is chosen by the geocache owner when (s)he writes the short and long descriptions. So both are possible.

Thanks!
1.9.6 works correctly

A minor problem with POI grouping, which is a nice feature that enables to see the map behind thousands of caches.
I turn the grouping on, works fine. Then I exit Locus.
When I start Locus the next time POI grouping does not work. I go to settings and POI grouping is checked! So I toggle it off/on and it works.

May I ask for a bit of tuning:
When rotating map is not in use, the map center should be in the center of the display.
Only with rotating map the center should be shifted.
Thanks!

There might be a compromise!
I'm sometimes forgetful, so I programmed for my own app (not Android) a short circular buffer about 30 minutes. This way I have 30 minutes of time from the start of the hike to remember to switch on recording (to a file). There should be an option to take all points from the circular buffer OR to start the recording from the current position.

Try the testing version from  Versions

žádný problém!
I really don't know more than ANO/NE in czech  But Google translate seems to work well.
Cheers, stebu
