@Andrew Heard
I'm not saying Bluestack is bad. If I'm correct, Michal use it all the time (maybe NOX now). Anyway because of some weird problems with virtualization, it simply refuses to work on my PC. So I use some hacked version of WSA that works unofficially also in Czech. And at least on my PC, it works really well.

I'm only a user of WSA that worked on the first time, so I do not know how to solve some install issues on your device, sorry.

@tapio
a) interesting problem with generated points. Does it happen always? You simply created track from shaping points, click "Save" and this is the result?? 

The remaining "Back to search" should be fixed in the next Beta.

@freischneider
right, as @luce suggested, transparency should be the way.
And thanks for pointing to missing buttons in the route planner. The part of the route planner will change during next weeks, so I'll keep this in my mind.

Yes. But just in this case - must have been related to the prior search. But I wasn't able to reproduce. So it seems rare.

New beta crashes on every launch.

[Menion]

How is it possible, you so quickly noticed new Beta version? 

And thanks for the report. Version fixed and re-uploaded. I was completely changing background system how the app comunicate with the Locus Store (for upcomming changes) and minor issue was undetected.

It was coincidence that I discovered it so quickly. Now it works thanks

Transparency helps here. Unfortunately, the colors are then no longer as strong. But for this case I can live with it. The solution with the long click to fade in and out would be better for me.
During navigation I have the thick pink line and here the function would be helpful from time to time.
here again the idea: https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=8445.msg72667#msg72667

@Viajero Perdido
captions - that would be nice but maybe later
forest areas - I see the next maps will contain fores/wood from ZL=9

[Tapio]

Suggestion: Blue background also for points and tracks, if at least one is shown. White if 0 or temp. hidden. Helps orienteering of the eye.

How about only displaying the pattern, e. g. arrows? This is what I do.  Arrows in slope colour.

Distance circles get hidden when I turn on GPS. Bug?

It creates waypoints on any shaping point. Nav commands is ON, Brouter classic. Also exist after saving.

Not for me. Describe what you do exactly.

Create a route with route planner. Add shaping points. Brouter profile is Locus-reroute. Maybe it's related to the recent BRouter update which came via Play Store?
EDIT: Doesn't happen with Lorouter.
And I remember the problem happened in the past as well, might be more than a year ago.

Right.

As the Brouter now generates and u-turns and does support the export of Via and Shaping Points in the gpx file.
By this so both the Via Points and the Shaping points information is not lost and are so fully recoverable.

Locus supports this but Locus disguises the Shaping Points as Locus 'silent Via Points" that are so not announced.

See a navigation waypoint listing example in the gpx export by Locus as attached.
The extra info can be noticed in the Locus extension. See pass_place_silent



Solution ?
Locus could optimally offer extra NEW a 'discrete Icon for these Silent Via Points.
Discrete Icon example is a Garmin sym "waypoint" represented by a mini black dot Icon.




Or rather you prefer to display no Icon maybe ?

[Tapio]

Personally, I don't want to see the shaping points on map. It has always been like this. They're just a technical necessity to build a track.

[0709]

Than I suggest ask in the helpdesk New Idea.
Unless dev takes a quick action by reading along.

Or the function in Points & tracks should also include and hide Silent Via Points.
Points & tracks > Show Navigation commands on map. (Turns & Via ? & Silent Via) 

Well this yet

An expert reports the Locus planner shaping points are shown as via points.

I myself still hardly use the Locus planner but instead the Cruiser app and desktop version.
Cruiser_Brouter exports a gpx navigation track with Via and Shaping points and U-turn support.
Locus then also converts these Shaping points to Silent Via points at the Locus gpx exports.
When you import that Locus export back then, those Silent Via points are nicely preserved.
How Locus itself suddenly produces those Silent Via points unexpectedly is beyond me.
However, if this coincides with the Brouter update, this might be the track to follow.
