Hello

when using the navigation from locus, I missed very much a fast switch to keep the display on all the time.
I use locus navi mostly in the car where I have power access, so I don't need to save battery.
If the display fades off, which is normal in normal use, the navigation is interrupted and I need manually to switch it on again. While driving this is not the safest thing ;)

Isnt it possible to introduce a fast switch to keep the display on all the time or switch back to automatic when navi is over?

At the moment I use a fast switch for this with Widgetsoid, which is not too handy but better than going all through the OS settings.

Thanks.

Hi franc,
the switch you need is here:
http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manual:settings:global Always screen on/Only when guiding – the screen remains lit up only when guiding/navigation feature is running

in this case it's even better than a quick switch, because this switch does automatically what you need.
