Pedometer / Stepcounter

berkley shared this idea 14 years ago
Gathering feedback

Hey Folks,


I was recently thinking, if anybody would use a pedometer or a step counter in Locus?


What do you think about it? It may be usefull for hikers and runners...


Just an idea, I wouldn`t use it ;)


Cheers, berkley

sorry Matthias, I think that this feature will not be implemented :)

Five years ago, I've declined this idea. In that time, it was quite complicated to make this task working, mainly because almost no device supported counting steps, so external sensors was needed.

Time has changed ... and Marek opened this topic after years. I've merged your idea here and opened this old topic again. Still just two votes, but I can imagine this idea now and mainly it's doable. Happy voting.

I start use locus, and use it when walking, but i have to use third-party pedometer for count of my steps length. It seems to me that you will get additional users if you implement a pedometer and announce as a oedometer recording tracks and counting the length of the step in different modes.

I still would love to see locus being able to make use of a phones sensors to record step count, SPM and possibly even impact

Yes, I would definitely use it. Today an average sensor in your phone is just as good as in many smartbands/smartwatches and in many cases better.

Isn't there a pedometer app already? A popular suggestion with 23 votes but it doesn't sound much related to the core focus of GPS/ mapping.

A lot of people use this information for various reasons and various purposes, even if they use regular sport apps like Strava or MapMyRun. Having this info on hand in one application, which is already all about logging and tracking, can be very useful. Following your logic one could say that ability to show speed is not much related to the core focus of mapping and yet lots of people need it.

Hi there

Is there any progress to implementing a step (aka stride) counter in Locus Maps for Android? Locus Lite for IoS has one so why can't there be one in the Android app too? It would be extremely useful. Thanks. Adam.

Hi all

I also would underline this request and would very appreciate, if this add-on could be initiated :)

I also use an Android device, on which a step counter works on another app, but I definetely prefer Locus! Please do not disappoint us ;)

Thanks.

Hi there,

For my walking and hiking activities, I use Locus Map exclusively (for maps, recording, planning, geocaching, etc.). It would be great if you could add an internal phone step counter (pedometer), similar to what the Strava app has.

This year, Strava’s walking and hiking challenges are based on steps, and it would be awesome to avoid running two apps simultaneously to record my activities.

Please consider adding this feature. Thank you in advance!

Step challenges are taking over the world and it would be great to have this functionality right in LM. I use LM exclusively for hiking. It would be perfect to display the step in the dashboard above the map using the phone's sensors. Please don't let us down.
