Geocaching tools - draw line does not show up on map
Solved
Seems like i`m unable to use the draw line feature of the geocaching tools. They simply don`t show up on the map.
Here`s what i do:
- Open the geocaching tools.
- Select the tool to draw a line
- Start and endpoint are already filled with coordinates of map center, so i change one of them
- I hit the ok button
But nothing shows up on the map. I tried various times with different coordinates, large and small distance, different colors and transparencies. Nothing worked. The draw circle tool on the other hand works. Any ideas?
The same problem 
I made exactly the same experience! I tried everything just as Sascha (circels are working, Lines I can`t draw - no matter how hard I try)
Tested on my HTC One X recently but also on my older Gingerbread device already back in April 2012 - so this doesn`t seem to be a bug that was recently introduced (I didn`t knew this forum back then to report it)
(Or maybe I`m just to stupid ^^)

I found the reason!
I tested with Locus 2.5.1 on Motorola Defy+ (Android 2.3.6, not rooted) with different kinds of selecting endpoints for the lines:
-Select from Map
-Use Contact address
-Favourite POI
-Projection
-GPS
Used function from Menu->GC Tools->Draw line
and
Select GC Tool from right panel
At my tests, lines allways worked.
Wait, I did one more Test and found the bug:
If you directly try to change the endpoints coordinates, it will not take effect.
Try use the edit button, input the changes, confirm and it will work.
@menion: Do we really need the edit button or could we in future use direct editing?

You`re right. When i change the coordinates with the edit button the line shows up.

Thank you for indetifying the bug!!
I think now that we know it, it would be easy to fix =)
btw: how do you draw lines from/to certain points? Is the anonter way that to open geocaching tools and input the coordinates manually?

from/to certain points I choose from map, where I can see the points.
To do this: Choose new and select a method.

thanks Druki, issue found and fixed, so edit button will not be needed (anyway it`s useful in case you want to set coordinates in different format)

thank you! Didn`t know about it!
Maybe the caption "new" was a little bit deceiving to me :-D
