Possible to define own, combined, functions from right panel?

I have now been using Locus for quite a while and find myself clicking through a series of button pushes each and every time I go out for geocaching. Some examples:

- Select cache, look at hint

- Select cache, look at logs

- Select cache, open Notes, edit Notes (to send my notes over whatsapp to others asking for help)

- Select cache, update cache, look at logs

- Select cache, navigate to cache using GPS Status


So, is it possible to automate these?, based on the following:

- Apply the custom combined function on the cache that is in focus/center on map (so I do not have to select it)

- Apply it on the version of the cache as stored in sqlite (so it does not ask when also G4L picks up same cache)


Having such customizations would speed up the use of Locus a lot. Maybe it is already possible, then just point me to the manual. Tnx!

Good day R50,


unfortunately no such options exists in Locus.

OK. So now I maybe could start to ask for such customizability. But would such 'macros' be feasible at all? Does it match the present SW architecture of Locus, so it could be added? I wonder, am I the first one to ask for something like this?

Architecture of whole Locus is quite flexible. So if there isn't any limitation because of Android or my skills (which is not this case), it may be possible.


On second side, my previous answer was so short, because I can imagine usage of these features, but I can also imagine complexity of creating some really universal and flexible tool for such tasks.


So I have to unfortunately for You say, that such feature is far beyond from what I currently plan to do in next months. Anyway creating idea is always possible.
