I was nearly going to write my own suggestion for this. it's really annoying. was driving yesterday in heavy traffic. each time we stopped, my navigator not a LM user, was getting upset that the map was rotating. I had an idea a long time ago, but never shared, when stopped Locus could temporarily "lock" the current GPS direction until movement recommenced. This frustration was compounded by 4 crashes. I did a report via LM this time. Nice feature. Thanks for the workaround suggestions.

Achtung, habe gerade gelesen, dass 'Wipe Cache Partition' seit dem Februar-Update wohl nicht mehr geht:

I'd actually forgotten something:  8)

On the charts, you can choose between distance or time on the x-axis.

Whilst the distance axis is always logically divided into round kilometre increments (e.g. 5–10–15 km or 50–100 km), the time axis always displays non-round increments (e.g. 1:40 hr, 3:20 hr, 5... hr or 8:20 hr, 16:40 hr, 25.00 hr). Sometimes the last value is also truncated, see screenshot.

I know that, ultimately, a round 100 minutes is shown as the non-round 1:40, but since you usually count in hours on longer trips, I find this unnecessarily inconvenient for a quick estimate. Full hours would be better (2 hr, 4 hr, 6 hr, etc.)

I gave it a go and yes, now the map keeps pointing straight ahead when I stop. 🙂

Of course, that means you have to put up with the slightly jerky map movement again; it was nicer with the "smooth" setting. Oh well, maybe both options will be available at some point.

Das ist normal (und hat keine Konsequenzen), da in der deutschen de.tts Datei so hinterlegt.
Die kannst du mit einem Texteditor selbst anpassen und "Zielführung" durch z. B. "Navigation" ersetzen. Habe ich irgendwann mal gemacht, auch wenn ich das nicht so schlimm fand.

Danke das du an dem Thema dran bleibst.
Meine Hoffnung auf ein Fix von Samsung ist eher gering.

War am Sonntag wieder in Sachen Geocaching unterwegs.
Der Weg führte über Feldwege, frei Sicht und nur Feldlage bzw. Äcker und trotzdem gab es einen Hänger.
GPS deaktivieren -> aktivieren und dann lief es wieder.
Ist aber nichts neues

Der Link Nr.1 ist interessant.
Werde mal versuchen es umzusetzten.

Danke fürs teilen der Infos

...spricht die nette Stimme immer, wenn ich im Navigationsmodus eine geplante Route starte.

Ist das richtig so bzw., falls nein, welche Konsequenzen hat das für die Routenanwendung?

Dankeschön für euere Sichtweise.

Hello,
this is because of "Smooth movement" enabled in the settings, right? Disable it for now. It will be a little better in the next app version, but still not perfect. Work in progress ...
