Automatic orientation at start of navigation

Not a Problem

Since the last update (version 4), the automatic orientation no longer works when starting navigation.
Only by double-clicking the centering button, North Orientation - Actual Orientation, does the actual direction display again.

Hi,

please check if you have a preset linked to navigation (Locus settings > Navigation > Link to preset). If yes, then remove the link or change the linked preset configuration so that it has map rotation turned ON.

Thanks - rotation is always on. Alignment used to be automatic, now it's on GPS.

So please select the "automatic change" so that hardware compass is used when standing still and GPS is used when in movement.

That's how it was set up before... and yet the problem described still occurred.

Please create a backup of your settings and share it for a test. Thanks.

Thanks. I can see that in the "gravel" preset, which is linked to navigation, you have auto-change set for the map rotation with the threshold speed of 2 km/h. This is too low - the app considers this speed as a standstill due to possible GPS deviations. Change it to 3.5 km/h, and the hardware compass will engage.

Also, in your general settings, you have "orientation via GPS" set for the map rotation—this setup doesn't rotate the map when standing still because the GPS only calculates the direction according to movement. Unless you use Locus Map in the car, use the auto-change with a threshold speed of 3.5 km/h. Use "orientation by GPS" to avoid the phone's compass's interference with the car electronics in a car only.
