I rather like the initialisation phase, which took me by surprise!

Hello menion
thanks vor new Beta V 3.29.2.2
please open my eyes, i can not imagine the need for some track icons:

- bouldering > vertically upwards ?
- ski jumping > straight down
- diving > perfect sat reception
- tennis > artfull sewing pattern

if these icons are available for Poi icons, i would understand

[menion]

Thanks John, glad you like it .

@balloni55
Icons are mainly usable for a folders, so I was thinking about it like a "folder with related activities". So I'm on vacation in Alps and have a week of bouldering, so I create a new folder with this icon and short trips and activities place here. Similar with others ... is it an bad idea?

Hello, menion!
I found interesting problem. I frequently use tracks and points from "map items". When I tap on such track or point, it is not possible to hide it with drop-down menu, but it would be nice.
Even more, if I made copy of map items track, storing it in internal database, then I can't hide it with drop down menu too, but recorded tracks can be hidden without any issues.
And also, when I made copy of map items point, I can hide this point from drop-down menu, and map items point is also hidden! After that I delete copied point and original point still remains hidden! I look in left "map items" menu and all points must be visible, I reset and again set visibility settings of hidden point in this menu with no luck. The only method to show this point is to unload and then load file from map items menu.

i didn´t know
for me track folder for now include tracks and for these activities/icons i can´t see any meaningful recorded or planned track.

Hello,
in route planner occasionally if I touch the screen too loong appears the "infopoint message" with Street Place etc. There is no way to make it disappear in a simple way in the case it's unwanted.
Something like swipe away should be perfect.

@alezy
sounds complicated . May I ask for better step-by-step description together with some file to test? Best to simulate on own device, thanks.

@balloni55
probably just some text not yet uploaded or translated on Crowdin.

@lor74cas
in this case, "back" button on bottom panel should help.
Same system as in Route planner is used also on main map screen, but understand, there is no such problem like tap somewhere on map to hide label, which simply start new compute.

 I'll try to improve it.

@menion, maybe video is not so complicated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQLXaOzRJj4
Test file is attached

[menion]

Very nice video, thank you!
Hiding of points and tracks in case of KML file is more complicated. I have to say that I have small mess in code that work with these files, anyway I was able to make it work at least for a tracks now.

About other issues with hiding etc. I believe I have an reason of this behavior, so consider as solved, thank you!

Support that!

Regardless, I'm all for more icons, even if some activities don't seem to make sense. But for me, most do. Point in case: Bouldering - of course the bouldering itself is probably not recorded as track. But in the mountains, you'll often have an approach, so you want a track folder with your trips to boulder spots. Makes perfect sense to me.
Having said that, I can do without tennis 

@Menion: While you're at it: Could you add some kind of icon for "Mixed" or "Undefined"? When travelling, I often have tracks where I walk, take the bus, etc. but it doesn't make much sense to cut the track into pieces. Right now, I use the Couch icon, but that doesn't really fit... Perhaps a simple question mark...

[slarti76]

One more thing about the icons:
Why are the "Locus (Track)" icons hardcoded only for tracks? Many of those would make perfect sense for folders in the Points section. Even "Tennis" would make more sense there. I don't see a good reason to restrict the user here...

[menion]

If you are interested, check this web site: https://thenounproject.com/ . There is a lot of nice icons and if find some useful that, with its style, match current style in Locus, let me know and I'll consider adding it to the list (I've purchased account to middle of March).
Why only tracks? idea is to keep the united style for track folders with simple black & white icons mostly related to activities. It is then easier to distinguish these folders from point folders.

Internal theme for Mapsforge ML/V4 maps has a misspelling
