A little history of the issue here: https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/38879-showhide-active-elements-with-one-action

I tried to solve this problem directly using Tasker by pressing "input tap x y" three times. I managed to do it with just one tap, but it's terribly slow :-(

Does anyone know how to solve this problem using Tasker by directly calling Locus functions?

I'm not into those overlays.

a) Look if you can control it via sending an intent from Tasker to LM4. https://github.com/asamm/locus-api/wiki/Action-tasks-(Broadcasts)

b) Can you control them via presets (I don't think overlays are in)... Presets can be run from Tasker.

c) Tasker plugin has some more possibilities, but that is rather on the data retrieval side (from LM to Tasker)

I disagree with you. Locus's ability to create a calibrated map is simply unique. I don't know of any other phone apps with this feature.
At night, by the light of my bike's headlight, I take a photo of the sports map with my phone and within 5 minutes I'm confidently heading to the checkpoint using the linked map. :-) It's simply a miracle.

I know this document by heart. :-)

there is no such possibility

This plugin does not use Locus's internal libraries and will not solve the problem.
