Re: [APP] - version 4.36.+ ( 09/2026 )

@Tapio: Hmm, that probably depends not only on the display size but also on how you've organised the sections. For me, only the track title appears. It's always shown in full, regardless of the number of lines. Only the heading appears for my next section (Statistics). I've moved the photos further down the page. So it works quite well for me.

For the last few releases I note the Track Recording panel is displayed full-screen, so the bottom Android home/ back/ task buttons are inaccessible. I now have to swipe up from bottom of screen to tap the Back button.

And despite my previous comment that the map no longer rotates while saving the track, I have today still seen it rotate. Maybe I misinterpret this bug in 4.36.1.2 release notes?

One more thought regarding the new 'Track photos on map' feature:

Edit: Never mind – Tapio reminded me that what I was going to suggest is already possible. ☺️

[Tapio]

@Graf Geo when you single click on the track panels title, it should do what you want. The difference to versions before is: when you subsequently clicked on tracks on the map, it stayed in the minimized state.

The problem with cache icons in Locus maps persists even in the new version of Locus.

Hi menion,
https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/37173-geocaching-title-of-images
This post is marked as "completed."

In my opinion, not everything is quite right yet.
Example:  https://coord.info/GCBJ5HV
You wrote:
#One page for all images: it has separate sections for Listing, Spoilers, and Logs. Buttons at the top jump straight to each section. #
The "Spoilers" section is missing, and when you load the spoilers with the Offlinizer, the images appear in the "Listing" section.


And
#No accidental spoilers: each spoiler stays hidden until you tap it. #
For me, the spoiler images are immediately visible.

Question: How can you tell in Locus, while viewing the Listing, that the original contains images or spoilers via links?
A note in the section header would be helpful so you can load them with the Offlinizer if needed.

spoiler images > thanks! I was checking the url and one parameter received from the geocaching.com, but not the title of images. Improved.

Hi Menion, fixed. Thank you

Version 4.36.1.3 (16.10.2026)

• add: a shared "My live location" link opens in Locus Map and shows your friend moving on the map with their trail and message, until you unfollow them
• chg: offline LoMaps have a new look at low zoom levels with country names, seas and main roads, and new administrative borders (needs an update of offline LoMaps), topic
• chg: night mode draws offline LoMaps with their own dark map style instead of inverted colours
• fix: in night mode, the area beyond the edge of offline LoMaps is dark instead of light
• add: (SILVER) Shimano e-bikes now also report remaining range and odometer, topic
• fix: (SILVER) the assist mode of a Shimano e-bike stays visible while walking the bike, topic
• add: (SILVER) the Images page of a geocache tells when and how GC Offlinizer saved its images
• chg: (SILVER) GC Offlinizer no longer saves smileys and icons of geocaching.com, topic
• fix: spoiler images of a geocache show under Spoilers, collapsed, and in the same order as on geocaching.com
• chg: a long press on Recalculate in the navigation menu only chooses the profile for later recalculations, a tap recalculates with it
• chg: a track without a known profile is recalculated as a touring bike by default instead of a car
• chg: the local map server keeps the same address between restarts, so a saved link or a scanned QR code keeps working
• chg: the local map server is listed under Set up and can be placed on the Functions panel, instead of only in Expert settings
• fix: the local map server keeps up while you pan around the map in a web browser, instead of slowing down until the map stops filling in
• chg: uploading a track to OpenStreetMap offers only "Identifiable" and "Trackable" visibility, as OpenStreetMap no longer has "Public" and "Private"
• fix: the back arrow in the top bar works with a tap again, not only a long press
• fix: the app starts much faster with thousands of visible points whose icon is unknown, e.g. points imported from a GPX file
• fix: the track chart no longer crashes the app on a long track with a long pause when time is on the horizontal axis
• fix: a pinned chart in the track detail no longer leaves an empty space below it when the device's animations are turned off
• fix: on a device where Google Play payments are unavailable, the Premium screen opens and redeeming a voucher no longer crashes the app
• fix: Back on an error in the Premium screen no longer leaves you stuck on the error
• fix: (SILVER) a Quick bookmark with a locus-actions link works again, topic
• fix: heart rate from the watch has far fewer gaps while the watch screen is off
• fix: dragging the map on the watch no longer closes the app, a swipe from the very left edge still does
• fix: live tracking chat could crash every time the screen was opened
• fix: live tracking could fail to start when a saved unsent chat message was damaged
• fix: live tracking retries sending waiting positions on time, also when no new location comes in, e.g. indoors or in a tunnel
• fix: My live location shares the position also while location simulation runs on a track
• fix: the detail of a live tracking user now shows when the position was last updated
• fix: the live tracking chat button on the map has the same colours as the other map buttons, and turns green when there are unread messages

[Tapio]

Pinned chart white area has gone, great! Yeah, I use a device without animations.

track rec panel > interesting. We are unable to simulate it. Have you enabled the "Full-screen"? Does any other screen do this?

@Menion I don't have Full-screen enabled. It is a relatively recent change of behavior. But with careful observation I can still see the Android bottom soft buttons displayed through the panel. BTW I would like to have Full-screen as a preset setting as well as Expert setting; sometimes it would be useful; and not just for "experts".

map rotation > this was a different fix. It was about rotation of the whole device and accidental double-save of the track in a rare case. Rotation of the map while working with the track still happens, I know.

work in progress? it's not very helpful for the map to rotate while in the track saving panel
