Hi Jake,


update your Locus, it's been solved in the latest version. However, routes created in version 3.19 remain the same so the via points have to be removed manually.

Yeah, I just updated it. They're still there. They seem to be at the ends of all my tracks.

Just at the ends? They can be removed - tap them, open their detail window, select Delete from the bottombar menu.

Producing a manual designed track ? By quick add points ? Without help of (auto)router ?

Last (blue dot) point in track is not a Via Point but a destination (navigation) waypoint indicating end of track.

To produce a manual track without adding any navigation waypoint before track creating you should set:

In route and measure screen-> tap the "Compute route sign" -> Advanced: Unset compute instructions and confirm.

For manual creating track (without any autorouter help) tap the blue indicated "Compute route sign" until grey again.

Now start creating your manual design and save.= Without any "Via point" nor "Navigation Waypoint".

They come up as via points on the screen. THEY are on every track I've created. Can I delete them all somehow without manually doing every track?

Hi Jake,


if you have more tracks to edit you can find a few tips in this topic: http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/locus-3-19-0-how-to-hide-blue-icons-on-route-waypoints

They're back. At the starts and ends of the tracks.

That's normal, anyway, if you don't want icons there, you can have dots there. Change it in settings > maps > points&tracks > track icons > dot

When I do that it just shows dots as well as the via points. It doesn't get rid of the via points.

by saying "they're back" do you mean they weren't there before? If you created the routes in Locus 3.19 they don't disappear, you have to delete them as has been described above. In routes created in Locus 3.20 no via points aren't created automatically unless you tell Locus to add them (see http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:tracks:planning#drawing_instructions)

They disappeared when I last updated it then suddenly just came back. I have too many tracks to delete them all manually.

"suddenly just came back" - I'm sorry Jake but I can't simulate your problem, i.e. repeat it on any available device here. Nobody else reported such an issue either. Can you please share a few of your tracks here? We'll test them.

How do I do that? I created them and the via points appeared one day at every interval of each track. I got them to go away and then they suddenly showed up again, but this time only at the start and ends of tracks.
