Locus Map / Re: [APP] - version 4.33.+ ( 0...
Last post by freischneider - Today at 06:58:20I think the option to choose your own frame color is a bit over the top. Very few people will actually do that.
The zoom buttons aren't really a problem, but in practice, you don't usually look at the chart that closely when you're on the go. The people I know always do that later, on the couch or at a café.

Last post by Andrew Heard - Today at 00:11:351209 & 1210 APK files have same signature, ending 307FC53. Expected? I can't see any other difference between the 2 files. Solid Explorer doesn't show exact #bytes.

like the improved charts.
track line style:
currently we don't have a line style which marks the track points of a recorded track or? My track is partially precise maybe due to the used profile-settings. I always see the track-line but never its points with markers as line-style-option. Would love to see this improvement, currently it's always a guess to identify the line-vertices and don't want to switch to the trackpoint-panel.
smoother charts:
as you mentioned, smoothing signals is about filtering and a typical topic in signal processing. Often moving average or Savitzky-Golay-filtering is used, eg. https://de.mathworks.com/help/signal/ug/signal-smoothing.html. Don't know if it makes sense to use some on-the-fly-processing or to add some simplified representatives.
But maybe you already used this in the past in LM.
Maybe a button or a setting-option is useful to generally switch to smoother charts. I personally prefer smoother charts, "noisy" is always somewhat disgusting.
idea: make the white chart-background transparent to see the map

Last post by Ulrich Kiermayr - Yesterday at 22:49:20Quote from: WildWortWechsel on Yesterday at 22:23:19thanks for the great job you have done. The two finger zooming of the chart is great. Nevertheless, "gestures" are a nice weather respectively an indoor feature always causing trouble outdoors: Rain on the display, gloves when its cold etc. makes it very difficult to use gestures. Insofar I support Graf Geos suggestion of additional zooming buttons like before.
Since I use Locus as a bike computer/Navi I second this idea to have buttons.
Greetings Ulrich

Hi Menion,
thanks for the great job you have done. The two finger zooming of the chart is great. Nevertheless, "gestures" are a nice weather respectively an indoor feature always causing trouble outdoors: Rain on the display, gloves when its cold etc. makes it very difficult to use gestures. Insofar I support Graf Geos suggestion of additional zooming buttons like before.
I also like the new way of the "framing of a selected track". Is it possible to select the frame color? All my tracks have defined colors. So I could find a "perfect" frame color for them. Would be really helpful.

Last post by Graf Geo - Yesterday at 20:29:22@Gerhard57:
You're right. The blank chart is from a track I apparently created using a faulty earlier version, which caused me several problems.
All the other planned routes display the charts correctly.
Although I really don't understand the gaps in the planned routes - yes, they appear where shaping points have been set, but that's pointless, isn't it?
In recorded tracks, the gaps are where we actually took breaks.

gap in chart at via point.

Last post by Gerhard57 - Yesterday at 19:52:57Quote from: Graf Geo on Yesterday at 18:54:32@Gerhard57: The gaps are stops/pauses. I think that's good; you can spot them quickly on the graph. Of course, they only make sense for speed and pace, which is why they're only shown there. Not on the elevation graph. That works.
How is the time gap value to be recognized as stop/pause? Can it be set by user? Or marked by a icon?

@Mick FU: I much prefer this now. Previously, selected tracks were highlighted in complementary colours, which (depending on the colour) wasn't always ideal or easy to see.
Although I've just noticed that this might not be ideal for framed lines either, as a light line with a dark border now gets a white border and isn't highlighted as well. So there's still room for improvement here too.
@everyone/Locus Team: another suggestion for improving the new chart overview. When you zoom in on the chart – which apparently can only be done with two fingers – the position marker can no longer be moved. Only the chart moves. The marker can then only be positioned by clicking on the chart, which isn't very precise.
For zooming, additional plus/minus buttons would be useful (as before).
