Note the model Samsung Gear S.
It would be great if the route that is running on the phone was duplicated at the smartwatch. The smartwatch has a large enough screen to navigate on foot or by bike. In this case, the smartwatch has water resistance, easy to clip onto the handlebars of the bike and they do not attract the attention of criminal elements, in contrast to the phone.
I like this idea 
I would realy like to see a wear support in locus. There are a few things I could imagine:
* start, stop and pause a track recording
* bring some GPS information on to the watch.
* Compas
* show navigation information
*** bring the map on the watch, the active one probably with track etc if also shown on the phone....***
Thanks for considering....
Some stuff like compas is allready on the watch, but not much else.

Here an inspiration of an other app how this could work: http://www.viewranger.com/en-gb/about-us/media-centre/2014/06/26/viewranger-offers-active-navigation-through-android-wear

I registered just to add my vote to support wear. Locus is a great app. I would love to have start track recording and if possible show the current screen on the phone centered by GPS location.I make custom trail maps with Google earth and would love to be able to see this on my watch. I would also like to be able to hit a button on the watch to save a location on the hike so I can keep moving and label it at the end of the hike. Thanks for considering adding these functions. Keep up the great work!

LIke Chon suggested, any information on the watch has a lot of added value. Having the track recording (and sports) information there would make a seperate sports watch obsolete. The Sony SW3 even has GPS on board....

From my point of view - most useful info on the watch is navigation screen with arrow to selected POI. Its easier to stare to the watch rather than cell phone during move. :)
Peter had good point with competitive app for Locus - they handled integration with Android Wear quite right. I can start the app and track recording directly from the watch and see all related info on my wrist.
As a owner of Moto 360, I would be happy beta tester of this future features in Locus. :) And as for the development for Android Wear - its just lighter version of Android 4.4., so adding few screens there shouldn't be complicated. :)

And one more thing for consideration:
New Android Wear users are in the similar situation when whole android platform started - they desperately seeks new apps which supports this new platform because number of apps is really limited. And when new app go out - it usualy gets big promo for the free. ;) Just check how it looks in android wear category in Google Play..

Thanks guys for a feedback, appreciate it.
I may say, that we have support for wearables devices already in road plan and it's definitely something, we plan to work on since new year. Precise dates are anyway in starts :)

Android Wear support is cool, you could navigate on your smartwatch and your phone is still in your pocket!

Thanks for working on this! I changed from suunto ambit to android wear, hoping that you (Locus) someday will bring those features for wear that suunto ambit2 has. I know it cant be soon, but I gladly give feedback for the development. So first two things:
1. Configurable screens: http://www.suunto.com/Global/ProductImages/Suunto-Ambit2/Suunto-Ambit2-Silver/ss019650000_gallery_3.png?epslanguage=en
Yo can set any screens you want and put any of the values you want from at least 20 of choosable values. Those are Time ( time, chrono, total time) Speed (speed km/h, speed: pace) Altitude (elevation, gain elevation)
2. Show route on map in 3 scalable view. I like this feature very much, and Locus has the best possiblities to provide this screen. I would really like, not just a line, but with colorful map. So please take this in priority.
http://gearpatrol.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/suunto-ambit2-s-tested-gear-patrol-lead-full.jpg
So after starting a navigation, these cards would come up, plus a start, stop navigation cards.
I hope this post helps you

Hey Menion,
Are there anny news about a Android Wear Version? / Companion?
For me it will be VERRY interesting, I wait to buy my smatwatch until Locus for Android Wear is on the market.
Will maps be shown on the watch? (a must for me)
Thanks,
Manfred

Hello guys,
I do mountain biking, and I use Locus Map in every ride I do, but in two different ways:
You know that every rider likes to have a cyclo computer, and since when just tracking I put my phone on my backpack, should be very usefull if I can use a wearable to show my track basic stats (track distance, speed, etc.)
In older version of locus I was able to do it with a cheap Sony LiveView device, using the Google My Tracks recording profile, but this device was not so stable, and Locus does not support it anymore.
There is some device that I can use today with locus, or are they all in pending list? (wahoo rflkt, android wear, pebble, etc.)
Anyway, thank you for such a good app!
PS: There are other apps like endomondo that support some wearables, but I like to have all my tracks in the same place, because later will be easier to select and follow a track, without having to search it in different systems. All tracks will be allways on my phone.

I have just bought Sony Smartwatch 3 (which is based on Android Wear), and was disapointed to find out there is no support for Locus. I love the way I can use Google Maps. Also, I use GPS Essentials, which allows to see GPS dashboard on the watch, as well as start and stop recording track, adding a waypoint from the watch.

Hi Menion,
I understand the idea of prioritization based on surveys and market volume.
They often make sense but I experienced that these surveys are often very biased. I am in the marketing business and we consulted a lot of startups.
Just some ideas:
Maybe you just asked Locus users, then you miss the possible new users of Locus which you did not ask.
There are other marketing arguments for example I identify the following important groups of potential customers for this Locus smartwatch functionality:
Actual Viewranger users who use Viewranger because the need the smartwatch functionality but would prefer Locus if it would offer these features.
They just spent (a lot of) money to get a gadget they might not need sooooo necessary. These users are willing to spend more money to give their smartwatches more sense, features and add-ons to play with. (Although they might not be hardcore geocachers or outdoor enthusiasts)
These users are early adopters and often they are strong evangelists for products they like. They area a species which are used by their friends in recommending the best-coolest-most efficient technology. They are your most important word of mouth advertising source. You will not lose them, because you invested a lot to get these customers and it is difficult to get them back. These loyal customers will get disloyal to Locus and search for alternative programs which offer the functionality they need. Then they will be an evangelist for your competitor. :(
Just some ideas,
Best regards,
Manfred

Good day Manfred,
thank you for your professional clarification of a problem. Nice reading and agree with most of things. In time you wrote this post, I was anyway already working on some basic add-on for Wear devices ;).
Yesterday was released a new version of Locus 3.12.0 required for a full compatible work with this small add-on and well ... here it is ready for testing: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Nr4CT8osmteEg0RUNhNVVITUk/view?usp=sharing
Do not expect extra features, just a static map and control of track recording like in previous add-on for SmartWatches2. At least something to start with ;). Enjoy it and let me know ...

How can i test it, i installed the apk on my phone,
Butin locus nothing is visible,
Is it only android wear native? Or should it also work on pebble (which has limited android wear support i beleive).
What do i need to install on my watch?
Thanks for al your efforts.

I have downloaded and tested (Nexus5 + LG Watch R): The locus map icon installed and it appears on the applications list on the watch. When I try to start it, it says: "Warning Periodic updates are not enabled. "
I cant go further from this point.

Ive found the answer and enabled the periodic update at locus. IT WORK BRILLIANT!! Almost exactly i need. Thank you! Request: Need further data on the display by track recording: pace instead of speed.
Otherwise, almost perfect for the first deploy! :)

One important aspect: This watchface is very nice, but it would be important to have a "battery saving" watchface. LIke with black baground, B/W icons, etc. This is importand, while beeing outdoors with the watch.

Hi,
the new apk works fine with Sony z1 compact Android 5.x and Sony watch 3. It is unbelieveable what I can see on the watch especialy compared to the komoot display I see on the watch.
Great job!

HI,
it would be good to have the posibility to see the Dashbord Data on the Android Wear device. I checked it only the landscape data is show not the dashboard. On the Mobile phone the landscape data and the dashboard is shown on same time.

Hi
Great to see Locus moving toward Android Wear!
On Sony Smartwatch 3 currently a lot of space is occupied with the blue bar. Probably an easy improvement :-)

Hi,Can someone tell me how much battery time you can get with a smartwatch 3 and locus with the screen allways on?
When following a track with guidance, it's possible to see it on the watch also?

Hi guys, thanks for opinions. I'll consider them precisely once developing on this add-on will continue.
Luís, I'm not sure how long, anyway because watches has still a huge problem with power for a single day, I'm worried that using Locus on watches permanently enabled, is pure madness for now :).

I would love to see GPS coordinate on the watch (speed, distance, also would be nice). As an overlay, on a separate screen, or instead of the blue bar mentioned above by Luis.
Also, I am lacking zooming control (e.g. like for Google Maps on the watch).

Pebble (the old ones) can now be upgraded to pebble Time software, also having basic support for android wear.
I will test asap if the app now works on my pebble (steel)
______________________________________________
To bad, because you cant pair the Pebble in the Android Wear app, the sending of the app still does not work.

I just got a relatively cheap sony smartwatch 3 (very little used - from an iphone user - yay) to play with.
The apk from above works - mostly - when paired with my Galaxy S5. However, I experience (relatively frequent) random crashes of the Locus wear app ("Locus has stopped - OK" followed by an automatic restart of the app). Viewing and track recording works great, customizable dashboards to display some parameters like (track-)time, battery %, heart rate from BT4 belt... would make it perfect as a running/biking/mountaineering companion. The blue bars at the top and bottom (probably due to the square design of the watch - it looks much less prominent on the round ones) could be used for the parameters (I know I am using Locus, no need to tell me twice :))
Ambient mode is working well too on this watch - saves some precious battery life while still allowing navigation with the watch. For day trips locus has to be only turned on infrequently, it drains the battery pretty quickly.
I am really looking forward to this becoming a standard feature of Locus.
Phone: stock android 5.0

Ok but as I understand it is a add on to an application on the phone. Is there a chance for even a mini app on the same watch. Recording GPS and guidance to Geocache most would be needed. Sending the GPX file to your device.

Hello Menion,
is there any chance to build a new version which does not show the blue lines at the top and bottom (see http://help.locusmap.eu/attachments/3087). On Sony SW3 it is a kind of frustrating to lose half of the screen size.
Thanks for the new feature,
Nils

Take a look at MapAppTopo, there is half a solution. Pitty though that it does not show routes, only tracks. One advantage with that app is that you do not have to bring the phone. The maps are downloaded to the watch.

Hi!
I installed this addon on my Asus Zenwatch 2 and it usually works fine. My only problems are the "Contacting Locus Maps" message appearing sometimes instead of the map and a quite slow update interval of my position on the map.
Another nice addition to the addon would be to possibility to add the compass view to the smartwatch. You could then use the map on your phone for precise navigation and the compass on your watch for a quick view of the distance an the direction.
Greetings

Hello,
Is Sony SW2 is always supported any issues? I bought sw specifically for Locus and I have a problem.
The watch displays the message "Periodic updates are not enabled."
I have the latest version of Locus Pro. Is it possible to do something about it?

Hi, on my Samsung Gear Live this addon works fine, thank you for it! My only problem is if I switches on the periodic updates on the phone (Nexus 5) the Locus app always shows about 10 testing points on the map and these points sometimes hide my track on the watch. Any idea to disable they?

This is great news! The only thing that I would change is that i wish the icon on the watch also opened the locus application on the phone, as now I need to pull out my phone.. open the app and then start the recording. Either way this is great work! Thank you!

I really hope this is still under development. For people who track runs as well as hiking and other activities it's a real shame to have to use another app to track runs with a smartwatch – I'd rather that app be locus for many reasons. It'd be a great start to just be able to create a dashboard similar to Ghostracer's and use the watch's GPS.

Good evening people,
interesting news for "developers", not so interesting for others (you not need to read further).
Firstly, be nice on me :). Because I'm slob on some tasks, like documentation etc. , Locus API is not in best condition (mainly documentation). Anyway "Locus Map - add-on Wearables" in current state (little bit improved after today testing) is now published on GitHub repository here.
This topic serve to users to be informed about news about app itself, so please do not continue with discussion here, rather use bug tracker on GitHub or feel free to open separate topic in Locus Forum, which is better suitable for discussions. Thanks for understanding.
Also small warning ... whole developing on Android Wear seems to me quite breakneck, so expect problems with running this project. Feel free to ask me, I'll write necessary documentation on the fly as will be needed.
Good evening people,
interesting news for "developers", not so interesting for others (you not need to read further).

Hello Locus team,
I am frequent Locus user for my mountain bike trip. However
I always find very annoying to have to pull out my phone any time I need to
check whether I am on the right track. Having Locus on smart watch seems to be perfect
solution. I am about to purchase Samsung Gear S3 but if I understand correctly,
Locus will not work on Tizen system. If that is the case, is there any chance
you develop Locus version for Samsung Gear S3? I believe this product will be
great success for Samsung and therefore there will be increasing demand for
such Locus version. At least limited functionality (to display gpx track on a map
with actual position) would be sufficient.
Thanks in advance for considering my request.

I use locus for all my outdoor activities, it works great, and now with my sony smartwatch3 the only thing I need is a compass on the wear screen (also in "light-off" mode) to quick check the right turn. it would be fantastic.
thanks

This enables you to use normal android widgets on a watch, so you can use the normal locus widget.

a radar on wrist with location and distance to target, target can be set on wrist or phone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.runar.wearcompass
quite a good compass, also has a bearing feature.
What would be great if the above 2 apps could be linked to the poi point in locus.

Do you have any news about Android Wear? I have Locus Map 3.24.1 Andorid 6.0.1 and Moto 360 Sport 1.5. When I run locus on watch is waiting for maps and data. If I got to menu I clicked on maps. I don't receive custom raster map. Can you help me with this problem?

Hello all
I run a test with this apk and got the error "Problem - invalid image preview".
I assume that this is a problem with my phone. But I have no idea what the problem is.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
new beta version of Wear for Locus Map (i.e. add-on for Android Wear) has just been released for testing.
For more information please see and follow this topic on our forum :)

The beta version of Wear is working well for me (TicWatch S).
I've added a couple of ideas in the helpdesk here, I hope it's the correct location of them (or should I use the forum?).

Hey there; first, thanks for the wear support, it is important to me.
But I have an issue, I am unable to pan through the map. In the description it says it allows browsing, but all I can is zoom in and out, not to scroll to the sides. Do I need to allow something in settings? I've "Enable periodic updates for addons" and "Locus map as a service" marked.
Second, is there a possibility to have the location updated by the watch app itself? Now if I exit the main phone app and open it only on my watch, the location is shown where it was locked the last time. It is possible to refresh it by opening the google maps app on the watch, and then return to Locus, but it would be great if it would do that itself.

Wouldit be possible to also mirror the compass screen of locus. I use an LG G Watch which has a compass. The bearing feature of the main locus app compass is something I use a lot. Currently I have to use a seperate app called bearing to get this feature

I currently use an old Samsung S3 as a bike computer (no SIM card) mounted on my handlebars.
Is it possible to use that old phone instead of a smart watch running the "Wear For Locus" app, with my expensive, new Android phone tucked safely away in my backpack?

Wear for Locus Map add-on has already been implemented months ago. We are still dedicated to continue supporting and extending the functionality of this add-on (although we haven't been very active with its development lately).
There have also been quite a few new ideas and questions regarding the add-on here at the help desk over the time. Because of this I am closing this idea as completed while new ideas or question will be continued to be handled individually under Wearables category.
Best Regards
Milan

Short question:
From the current news regarding Wear OS. Is it possible to use only the watch to record track and HR standalone with the locus app for Wear OS or is it 'just' some kind of remote and I need my phone running locus, too?
I'm missing info regarding the inter-processing between locus on phone and locus on watch...?
