Show more infos in POI popup introduced in v3.4.0 or allow to customize infos
In v3.4.0 POI popup were introduced, screenshot e.g. http://www.locusmap.eu/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/news_340_pop_points.png They are cool, because I don't need any more move the map center cross onto the POI to see POI infos :) For non-geo-cashing-POIs, I only can see the name & altitude - that's even less information than the old "info on center cross-over", so not not as useful as it could be :(
=> Please show more information in the popup or enable users to customize the information displayed in the popup, e.g. the distance, folder name, description (http://help.locusmap.eu/responses/ability-to-add-description-to-the-popup), phone number, last update time, or the like. How can I do so? I didn't find anything in http://docs.locusmap.eu/
I like this idea 
So a main price for a best answer - won "gynta" with his http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/how-to-customize-poi-popup-introduced-in-v340#comment-13131 , congratulation :).
And now seriously. It's exactly as CaptKaos2 wrote at begin - main purpose of this new popup was - simple and quick overview - not an advanced features.
Anyway, I wrote every single item you want to add to this side menu, on a paper. And was thinking about every of them. And all they are by me "unimportant" (do not speed up work a lot, are used very rarely or just in certain situations etc.), I strike though.
And result that remains and that is now already done (will work in next test version):
Nothing more, sorry guys. Keep in mind - simple and useful for all! Thanks

Currently no customization is possible.
I want to keep this feature as simple as possible. Anyway if you want, improve text of question and I may change this topic to "Idea" so people may vote if more of them will be interested in this improvements.
EDIT:
Hmm maybe even better. Because mentioned topic point to popups that are currently on second row, I suggest to vote for mentioned topic. I should improve text inside to fix more new popup views.

Thanks for quick reply, changed into idea.

Sure you're welcome. So I've merged mentioned topic into this yours, as this one is more general.

Good idea, together with the full MBTiles support, Locus would become an even better solution for sharing offline thematic maps / data on the mobile.

I would like to ask this idea to be implemented for track points too. The time stamp of every track point of recorded track is one of the fundamental attribution and it should be very useful to show in popup.
Let me explain my use case.
I often want to know arrival time at certain places in the trip (for example, peaks while traversing mountains). In current Locus, there is no simple way to know time stamp of a track point of recorded track. 'Edit on map' of the track > track point's detail information screen have to be opened. It's not straightforward to invoke 'Edit on map' just only to know the time of a track point.

A couple of additions to the pop ups would make them really useful for planning caching trips.
1. In the menu - Add to folder.
2. In the information displayed, the type of the last 5 logs (smiles, frowns etc).

I agree with John, the last 5-10 logs would be very useful to instantly see if it´s likely that there is a problem with the cache.

I would like to have a pup-up action to show on map the additional waypoints of a geocache.
And after that, I would like to see the waypoint's name (description) on its pop-up.

For geocaching POIs it could be helpful to
1) update from the homepage
2) show spoiler pictures
3) show the additional waypoints
4) share with friends

My personal opinion is, the pop up as it stands has enough info for basic needs. All the items requested here are easily found by a tap on the pop up and going to the POI main page where full info is available.

My opinion on the pop up was to give some basic info that the moving the centre cross over the POI icon didn't show, maybe I'm wrong?
But for me, if that's is what it was meant to do,it achieves its task as is. I get info on Altitude, Difficulty. Terrain, Waypoints, size of cache and on the menu I can get a hint, Navigate and guide to the cache. If there would be one change that I would wish for it would be to change the trackable info for distance to the POI.
As I say this is only my opinion and this is the only place I can voice it.

All feedbacks are read, registered and because this idea has quite a growing number of votes, it will be probably "process". :). Feel free to continue in discussion. If you will be able to find some optimal solution useful for all!! , less work for me.

My 2cents:
I would like to be able to have the address in the pop-up (if entered). And the menu should include "Edit", thus saving the detour through the Details screen if you want to edit the waypoint.
Also useful would be the menu option "Center" - makes it easier to zoom in (with the buttons) exactly on a point.

in menu the item " show on diagram" is missed. this can avoid rendering the whole detail site too often.

For me "Copy to" is the one that would be most useful!!

If the menu gets too long, perhaps everything from "Edit" to "Delete" (w/o "Hide") could be put in a submenu "Manage" or something.

Oh, and I just thought of another useful submenu: Attachments
That would open a list of attachments (if any) that you could then open directly. Very useful when travelling when you attached additional info to a waypoint.
Crossing my fingers the menu can be extended :o)

Attachments: edit ->...
Not a main point.

One small improvement idea:
-I select a cache from map --> pop up
-I press on the pop-up in order to log the cache
-... log the cache
-Return to map, the pop-up is still there, I need one extra click to hide it :(
So why not hide the pop-up? This is already implemented with "Guide to"; if the cache is logged the guideing is removed.

Would love to see quick log cache button. As now im mainly going with hand held Garmin GPS for better accuracy and logging caches in locus for quick filed note upload later.
So click on icon -> log cache. Simple! And im on my way to next cache.

Hi Kristaps,
if you use settings
Map-objects&style/Tap on point/Screen
and
geocaching/Quick button/Log your visit
after two clicks you are able to select how to logg

And how about the customization? I could use the "move to" option there a lot, whereas I don't need the "navigate to" option at all. I'd love to switch them.

Hi,
Tool is very nice and useful.
Log cache function would be useful in the popup window.

Thank you for the improvement in 3.6.0. The popup is so much useful now!
You know what would make it perfect? If one of the available actions was to update cache. I know G4L handles this feature so it's a question for Arcao:
Wouldn't it be amazing if you could update the cahce directly from the map? You can see the last 5-10 logtypes now in the popup, but that's not always the current situation because the cache might be outdated. You could get a quick idea whether the cache is okay directly in the popup without the need to open the cache page.
