remove ".0" from distance rings

The offline distance rings are great - I never checked this feature before reading 3.6 news. I have now hidden the Scale because it is almost redundant, and the small text is harder to see than the new distance ring numbers. However in all my zooming in and out, all quantities (metres, km) are integers, eg. 2.0 km, 5.0 km, so why not save some space and make the distance more readable by removing the unnecessary fraction part ".0" from each distance? I swapped to imperial yd/mi as a test and all numbers were still just integers.

Hi,


as gynta wrote, it is not a big deal :). One negative vote, but without comment, so hope this feature won't be a problem - so implemented.

Thanks Menion. Why don't I (public) see the -1 vote?


I had tried various combinations distance units and zoom in/out, but could only see integer values displayed for the distance rings. In other words the distance was always X.0.

it was me :). I put a minus, because there is no need to change the format, and I like one digit after the decimal point. However as it was already said it was very easy to change and I will certainly accept the new format. Democracy in action.

"Democracy in action" - this is very nicely said!! :)

I know it's only a minor change one way or other, so I don't care too much. There are far more important topics to discuss, but I am like a dog with a bone. But the "one digit" is always zero, so provides no information, and takes up display space.


That is a great thing with Locus - *voting* - none of the other offline Android GPS apps have anything to compare. And the developers are very engaged with the users of their app.

I like the distance rings and I prefer "2 km" instead of "2.0 km".

But something went wrong in the process.

As you can see in the attached screenshot instead of "2 km" or "2.0 km" now "20 km" is displayed.

This happens for all numbers with "km", the displayed numbers are ten times than they should be.


Locus Pro: 3.7.0

Language: German (just in case this makes a difference)

Android: 4.2.2

Ah thanks. Funny.


In different topic I was increasing amount of decimal places from one to two in this case. So instead of 2.0 km, there should be 2.00 km. But in this case, to remove decimal numbers, I used very simple method - remove ".0" text. And what you see is a result :).


Thanks, fixed.
