Guidance ends after 10-15 minutes
Solved
Guidance ends after 10-15 minutes while guiding along imported GPX track. I have to manually restart guidance every 15 minutes. This happens in both Locus 4 and Classic, but NOT in OsmAnd, so I don't think it's an Android problem (using Android 13 on OnePlus 9.
Thanks.

Hello,
please, can you describe your issue in more detail?
Only guidance stops or whole Locus is ended?
Do you have Locus active during the guidance, or placed in your pocket?
Is there any error code or message?
I guess it could be related to battery optimization, so exclude Locus from all means of optimization so that the app can run in the background.
Instructions on how to do it are summed up here: https://docs.locusmap.app/doku.php?id=manual:faq:gps_lost_fix_android6 or here: https://dontkillmyapp.com/.

You must allow the background activity.
You must allow the background activity.
Yes, that fixed it. The interesting thing is that OsmAnd guidance works fine with screen off in my pocket with "Allow background activity" turned off, any idea why or how?
Anyway, thanks for your help.

I have a OnePlus 8T with Android 14. I have made all the settings required above. I still have the same problem. Guidance stops after 10-15 minutes when I have my phone in my pocket.
