Troubles & Questions / Re: Only show some LoPoint cat...

Last post by seldor - November 26, 2025, 15:40:51

please check the option to highlight specified categories on the map. It does not allow to hide certain categories, but may help to see what you need to see.

Yes I found that, but this does not reduce the cluttering. Displaying all POIs is very, very cluttered in some regions (especially cities). Highlighting some is nice but then there are so many icons, the map is hard to read.
I upvoted the linked idea (thanks freischneider) and also this idea I would have proposed otherwise: https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/38378-show-only-highlighted-lopoints-on-map

I think that would be the most elegant (and easy) solution for most people having this problem. With that, only some categories could be displayed using the highligh feature without the clutter of all the remaining POIs

Yes I can change those, but that doesn't help me - When I want to see some POIs, I need them in a normal size, so that would both affect wanted and unwanted POIs, even the highlighted pois would be barely visible then.
Uder "Other POIs" I don't see anything, probably this is only for older maps or manually downloaded POI databases? I'd really like to go with LoMaps and it seems newer LoMaps have their POIs integrated differently and won't show up there?

I uninstalled Locus Map.  I then installed the Google store version and it was fine. Next I installed 4.32.2.0 auto and the purchased USGS John Thorn maps show only loading.

You are aware that you can configure poi/highlighted sizes? At least you can make the unwanted poi appear small. A lot could be done here, yes.

The old system is still in place - "Other POIs".

Troubles & Questions / Only show some LoPoint categor...

Last post by seldor - November 25, 2025, 22:06:33

Hi
I'm a long-term user of LocusMap classic and am currently evaluating the new Locus Map 4. One thing I noticed whery quickly that it appears that I can only show ALL or NONE of the LoPoints of a map. In Locus Map 3 I could selectively only show some. I usually don't want to see every church, toilet and mountain when just browsing for a restaurant or a shop.
I hoped the feature of the "highlightet points" would solve that but unfortunately, I can only have highlighted points when ALL points are enabled too, leading to a very cluttered map with irrelevant icons.
Is there a way to either show only some categories or at least only show the highlighted categories (but not all) ? When I disable LoPoints, the highlights are disabled too.
This currently makes lopoints pretty unusable for me :-(
Thanks

When I go to the map store the USGS John Thorn maps that I have purchased show a green check mark.  The maps that are available show the Locoins.  There aren't any updates available.  The recent updates don't seem to be compatible. I can't tell you the specific version because I can't downgrade to a previous version.

Thank you, Mark

Hi, I'm quite demotivated to do anything, till Google still refuses to confirm our Android Auto implementation. Sorry.

Last post by Wole - November 24, 2025, 16:33:32

Hallo zusammen,
ich möchte gern die Livetracking-Funktion nutzen.
Dazu habe ich die Gruppe Familie angelegt.

Wenn ich jetzt einen Track starte und die Livetracking-Funktion dazu schalte, wird der Track nicht mehr aufgezeichnet und auch die Geschwindigkeit wird nicht mehr angezeigt.

Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen?
