Locus Map / Re: Re: [APP] - version 4.36.+...
Last post by Graf Geo - October 02, 2026, 21:12:42One more comment on this change
add: (SILVER) the track detail shows the photos taken during the recording on the map, a tap opens the photo
The thumbnails can also be a nuisance: I have tracks for which I've taken a great many photos. When I click on the track, I sometimes see a string of thumbnails overlapping the track line. This makes it hard to follow and you can no longer properly see the track's route. What's more, the thumbnails also overlap points that I created during the recording.
Disabling geotagged media doesn't help either. When you highlight the track, the thumbnails are always displayed.
It would therefore be useful and important to be able to disable the display of thumbnails on the track you've clicked on.

Last post by Graf Geo - October 01, 2026, 20:51:47Hi Menion, thanks for the update.
Hmm... add: (SILVER) the track detail shows the photos taken during the recording on the map, a tap opens the photo
As these photos are inevitably always located directly on or next to the track, clicking on the thumbnail on the map often brings up the selection dialogue, offering a choice between the track and the photo. However, as the track is already highlighted when the track details are opened, this makes no sense. Only when I zoom in significantly can I click on the photo thumbnail on its own and open it directly.
Something else that strikes me as inconsistent: I click on a track. The track line is highlighted, the thumbnails are displayed and the track info panel opens. If I open a photo and then close it again, the track is no longer highlighted, but the track info panel remains open.
add: (SILVER) long press a photo in the track detail, or use "Show on map" in the photo gallery, to center the map on the place it was taken
It doesn't work perfectly either. When I click on 'Show on map', the tracking panel opens and covers the map completely or for the most part. The map is centred on the photo, but that's not much help if it's covered up. When I close the tracking panel, the thumbnails disappear too...

The option to deactivate screen lock when locus is running, is activating by itself many times.

Maybe you want to support high-quality svg icons too? Pitstopper.net optionally (can) adds besides png also svg icons in the gpz root. The wpt gpx extension contains icon background color and icon position, by a hsxx (type Locus) notation. Find a gpz file with svg icons (a mix with png is possible). With such "multiple choice, or svg or png, svg should take preference. htps://pitstopper.net/staging/poi-icons.html

Last post by Menion - October 01, 2026, 16:55:28There is no need for it. App grabs the list of friends directly from the geocaching.com web.

Last post by Pcmann - October 01, 2026, 16:09:28Hi Menion,
In the new version of Locus, the option to define a list of friends' names that was under the username used on Geocaching.com has somehow disappeared in the Geocaching settings. Could you please bring it back? Thank you.
