Locus Free no guidance notification

Bartek z. shared this problem 7 years ago
Not a Problem

Hi, I do own a Locus Pro, but wanted give my wife a chance to guide our bike trip this weekend. So she installed Locus Free. At first I was surprised how many functions I grown accustomed to are disabled (Pro only) but well, OK, no regrets.

Offline maps + Brouter work as expected. Guidance works on prepared tracks, but...


guidance notifications are not happening. The screen does not turn on (ok, this is also a Pro feature) but there are no sound/vibrations either which are available.


The phone has stock firmware, Locus is selected as Administrator, the Stamina feature was disabled. Locus had GPS fix and was showing current position. Guidance was enabled with 1 beep on 100m distance.

Is this a bug and notifications should also be marked as Pro?

Good day Bartek,


there should be no limitations on notification during guidance in Locus Map Free.


So we are talking about guidance along the track. You setup notification on next direction change ( Set notification on next direction change ) or "Out of route" notification? Because you wrote about "1 beep on 100 m" I just want to be sure that you setup notification on guidance along the track and not for notification on a single point.

Hi Menion,


Silly me. Of course I did enable the wrong guidance section!

Must pay more attention to reading section headers...


Thanks and sorry for trouble!
