Bernard Thanks for your quick response, actually I'm not going to install an older version of Locus because to get the latest France ign maps I finally created a new rmap file with MOBAC which better than my original files more fluid and faster loaded by the application so everything is ok for the cards no need to worry about files that are already outdated. As for my segond post it was about displaying the distance being recorded and no the speed but I found thanks to you by insisting in the parameters dashboard and the editor whose functions I had not fully understood. thank you again for the interest you have brought to my messages and can only recommend your application to all my hiker friends. Regards. Bernard
