Troubles & Questions / Re: Adding POI in planning mod...

Last post by Manuel - September 06, 2024, 12:43:13

With the normal POIs, the address is adopted if you have the corresponding LoMap with address database installed. The name of the POI is actually not, but that's what LoPoints are for. So I don't see such a great need.

I disagree that there is no "great" need. This might be the case for you, but not for everyone. There is definitely a need for me and there is also zero drawbacks to this functionality. There will be no one who pressed on a POI then adds it to a route and not wanting the name. And these people could just clear the name afterwards. Much easier than vice versa.     
LM knows the name of the POI, it shows it. There is simply no reason not to use it if you add it to the route. Depending on the maps used the POI might also not be in the LoPoints. 

That said, I don't use LoMaps. I also never used LoPoints. I enabled them now (awful interface for selection, BTW) and it works fine. That doesn't change my opinion that the name should be transferred to the route marker.

Leider habe ich es noch nicht geschafft, im Sensormanager während der Fahrt bei Bedarf wieder die Bluetoothverbindung hinzubekommen.

Soweit ich das richtig beobachtet habe, wird beim Trennen von BT das Radar abgeschaltet um Akku zu sparen. Also wenn Du z.b. die APP beendest, trennst Du damit auch die BT Verbindung und das Radar deaktiviert sich damit.
Das Herstellen der BT-Verbindung wird dann nur durch Einschalten des Radar initiiert - wenn im Sensormanager der Sensor verbunden war, sonst muss man (zumindest ich bei meiner Konfig) die Verbindung manuell starten.

Aber ich sehe da auch kein Problem wegen der Leiste, die nimmt eh so wenig Platz ein ....

Hallo Oliver,
das Problem habe ich nicht. Das Symbol bleibt auch bei Ein-/Ausschalten erhalten.

Ich fände es aber besser, wenn nicht nur der Ton ausgeschaltet werden könnte, sondern über den Sensormanager die Bluetooth-Verbindung beendet und wieder gestartet werden könnte. Dann könnte wieder der gesamte Kartenschirm genutzt werden.

Nur das Tonausschalten zeigt ja bei Radwegen neben der Straße immer noch sinnloserweise die sich nähernden Fahrzeuge.

Leider habe ich es noch nicht geschafft, im Sensormanager während der Fahrt bei Bedarf wieder die Bluetoothverbindung hinzubekommen.

Tasker / Re: Tasker task trigger in men...

Last post by Tapio - September 05, 2024, 14:24:45

1 and 2 is what I use. Quick Bookmarks (2) usually if related to map center position, "Run task" list (1) for the others. I recommend to create a Project "LocusUI" in Tasker and in the Plugin filter for LocusUI/.*

Zossebart, you can have max. 2 direct toolbar entries. This is solution 1. But they will just have the Tasker icon.

Another flexible way would be to have a (semi transparent) Tasker Scene on top. But scenes aren't fun to create at all.

We have a Tasker forum btw. https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?board=66.0

Tasker / Re: Tasker task trigger in men...

Haven't seen anything about app factory problems in Android 14 but I dont use myself so don't know. Have you tried the obvious things like rebooting and/or recreating the app ? 
However, if stuck then you could try these alternatives.

1/ Install Locus/Tasker plugin.
Run plugin app; Settings;   Ensure "Run Task From Functions" enabled. Set Regex to match just your tasker task. (format "Projectname/Taskname"  - Default Project is named "Base")
Locus: configure menu; Add Function - add "Run task" from "Add-ons" section.
One tap needed to run, provided Regex matches just one task else it shows a selection list.

2/ Quick BookMark
URL    tasker://assistantactions?task=YourTaskName&par1=YourValue1&par2=YourValue2
Two taps needed to run.

3/ Tasker secondary app.
Tasker: Preferences/ActionTab - ensure "Secondary App Enabled" set. Create profile using "Secondary App Opened" event and map to your task.
Locus: configure menu; Add app - Tasker Secondary.   
One tap needed to run.

There might well be other ways. (e.g if Locus can trigger app shortcuts or send user defined Intents then Tasker can react to those and map to Tasker task)

As for the rounded corners, while it would be a cosmetic enhancement, there seems to be no current functionality to modify them or make those adjustments.

Yeah, I also thought about quick bookmarks (although I haven't tested it yet), but it's not possible to place one specific bookmark in the menu bar, is it?
I need this button right at my fingertips, I can't handle it on the bike otherwise.

Troubles & Questions / Locus4-app on Chromebook

Last post by arnor - September 04, 2024, 22:13:47

I am considering buying a Chromebook. I am curious about experiences with the Android Locus4 app on a Chromebook. Every now and then I read about problems that usually turn out to be solvable. Most apps give problems now and then; I can live with that. I like to read about experiences with Locus in terms of image, memory, etc. In other words, what should I pay particular attention to?

Nachdem Google/Android dem selben Wahnsinn anheimgefallen ist wie vor Jahren iOS (und Android 14 ist die bisher schlimmste von allen Versionen), nämlich die Eigentümer der Geräte zu behindern, sollte man - wann immer möglich - /Android/data meiden wie die Pest für wichtige Daten (App-Interna und sensible Daten können dort gerne liegen; macht sogar Sinn). Aber Karten, Datenbanken, Konfigurationen etc. ...: die gute Nachricht ist, dass Locus erlaubt den Verzeichnisbaum /Android/media als Wurzelverzeichnis zu nutzen. Inkl. Umzugsservice innerhalb der App (da sollte man in der Tat nicht selber fummeln). Settings - Backup&filesystem - File system manager - Set the main directory.

Das ersetzt nicht freischneiders Rat für eine Backup-Konfiguration!
