Yes, I can see that; colours have their pros and cons. It works quite well on the elevation profile. When I colour-code the route, I always add a black outline so that it's easy to make out.

Ultimately, you'll never find colours that are the best solution for everyone. It's just the same when it comes to highlighting routes.

I don't like the new colors for the track in "Colored Gradient." I'm having trouble following the course of the track. The colors are very pale. With the old colors, I could see the track much more clearly, and I could spot steep sections much more easily. They stood out right away.

@hoschilo
nice one! Every sensor value has own parameter that defines how long the value is valid. In the case of a bike battery, it is 15 minutes, but most of the sensors are valid for 5 seconds.

minimising on title tap > heh, we tested if anyone noticed it. A small complication, but we will look at it.

Hi Menion,

thank you!

- problem with trails > what exactly is the problem? Not clear from screenshots. A partially missing line is probably a small graphical problem in the used library. Hard to solve, sorry.

Parts of the hiking trails are missing or the lines are not complete drawn. No problem for me.

missing buttons > does it happen everytime or are you able to describe to me a steps that lead to this state?

Every time with the same recorded track, but not with every recorded track. See the screenshots: both are recorded. One shows the buttons, the other not when clicking on it.

Hi Menion, I know, but as you said, there were no changes, same here, from one day to the next, these interrupts occured, without changing the configuration. My wife used an earlier version, no interrupts.

But of course, I'll check again.

Locus Map 4.34.1.3
AI-generated news...


This update sharpens day-to-day track recording and the elevation chart, and opens Locus up to more sensor hardware. Track recording gains a single, clearer "Movement detection" control, the elevation chart shows where you are on the route and gets a reworked slope palette with a built-in colour legend, and community sensor adapters can now advertise their hardware by BLE service UUID for more reliable e-bike connections. A batch of fixes restores third-party routing, guidance arrows, and login, and hardens the image map calibrator.

What's new

• Movement detection — auto-pause and "record only when moving" are now one setting: record continuously, drop points while stopped, or auto-pause.
  
• Position on the elevation chart (Premium) — a blue dot shows your current GNSS position on the chart when you're within 100 m of the track.
  
• Reworked slope colouring (Premium) — tuned palette so gentle slopes are no longer washed out and steep sections stand out; the colour fill now sits beneath the chart lines so they stay crisp.
  
• Colour legend (Premium) — tap the question-mark next to "Line style" to see what the active track colouring means.
  
• Wider sensor support (Premium) — adapter apps can declare their hardware by advertised BLE service UUID, giving e-bike and vendor-protocol devices reliable, low-power scanning.
  
• "Last points" quick toggle — My library search can now show your most recently saved points. (topic)
  

Smaller improvements

• Track chart pinch-zoom now goes all the way down to 1 km / 1 minute on any track length (Premium).
• Tapping the track chart now also shows the distance or time at that point, not just the values. (topic)
  
• Alternative-route de-duplication (Premium). (topic)
  
• OpenTopoMap moved to its new server and now shows more detail (zoom level 17).

Bug fixes

• Fixed the user profile screen getting stuck on loading after signing in with Google / Facebook / email.
• Third-party routing add-ons appear in the routing-source list and work reliably again.
• Track guidance again shows directional arrows along the route.
• "Record only when moving" no longer drops valid points when GPS speed dips briefly while you're nearly still.
• Fixed a rare track-recording widget crash on app start.
• Opening recording-profile settings from the home-screen widget — Back now returns straight to your launcher. (topic)
  
• Image map calibrator (Premium): KMZ export no longer fails with "Process unsuccessful" on common image sizes; the export can be cancelled mid-process, failures now show the real cause with a Retry button, and the map picker centres on the estimated location when adding the 4th+ point. (topic)
  
• Image map calibrator (Premium): no longer crashes when a selected photo can't be copied, and shows a clear message when an image fails to load.

All Features, Search Box, enter some letters: The window can only be left if I delete the entered letters. It's an older issue.

Hi Menion,

great job! Thank you!

BTW, the lower buttons still not visible sometimes. But now I can see the "head" of the buttons at the lower screenframe.

Have a nice weekend!

Edit: I guess, I figured out why the lower buttons sometimes gone. It seems to depend on the length of the title. One line - buttons visible. Two lines - buttons not visible.

[Graf Geo]

Thanks, fine!

Two first questions:

Slope colouring now in all charts, also speed and pace - intended?

Where can I find the legend: question-mark next to "Line style"?
Can't see the question-mark.

Have a nice weekend!

[TrulloF]

Crash when using external routing addon after cold start is gone. Nice work!

sometimes the value of the y axis right is missing. See screenshot
