Add Bicycle UI
It would be great to have special bicycle profile which would have specified in settings buttons size/position.
When I cycle having my mobile in bicycle phone bag attached to the bicycle then it gets shaky sometimes. This makes hard to hit standard buttons (especially GPS tracking in left bottom corner).
Bicycle UI could also offer other features or enhancements for cyclist.
For example auto restore GPS tracking. When you ride new track you often check map to see if you're not lost or which path to take on crossroads. Once you start moving manually map to check upcoming track details the GPS tracking is off and doesn't turn back on. There should be setting to enable that and define in seconds when tracking should be restored after releasing finger off the screen.
Thanks!

The same question
Hi Marcin,
all this is possible in Locus right now:
- upper and right panels content is editable - you can add/remove any function buttons there (http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:functions:panel)
- big track recording controls can be placed on-screen with the "Dashboard" feature. Besides various cyclocomputer-like parameters (actual speed, distance, elevation gain, heart rat, pedaling cadence... (http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:tools:dashboards)
- third issue is probably caused by "Hold map center" turned off. Long-tap the centering button in the bottom-left corner until a popup with "Hold map center" checkbox appears. Check it. Now the map cursor will return to your position always after 5 seconds.
As all your requests are already available, I'm changing this idea to a question.
