Zoom in doesn't work with BarButtons controller
Hi, I've been using Locus for a while now to navigate while riding my motorcycle. So far I'm loving it. I wanted to upgrade to use "BarButtons", a bluetooth device that has physical buttons, to be able to make changes on the fly. It is nothing more than a bluetooth keyboard, that sends button presses to the phone. After enabling the "Use hardware controllers" option, the arrow keys now move the map around, "c" is used for centering and "-" zooms out.
The only thing, that doesn't work is the "+" key to zoom in. I've tested this with 2 phones and 2 different keyboards and I can't zoom in with any combination. When I enter the search box in the app, the "+" shows up just fine when I press the corresponding button, it just doesn't zoom in in the map. The Software buttons to zoom in and out work fine too.
Is this a bug or am I using the wrong key to try to zoom in?
The same problem 
You should take a look at the Barbutton site.
I had the same issue.

There is a description how to setup Locus with Barbuttons.
You need 81 for Android.

Hi guys,
what value is missing in the "Zoom in" setup? As I see, by default, value should be "81|24|s70". s70 is correct, it means "KEYCODE_EQUALS" + "shift" key. So you missed value 70 right?
It may be easier to add "BarButtons" as another option in the setup. Anyway glad you've solved it.

I just verfied it with my second phone. Yes, I need to add the keycode "70" to the list or else it doesn't work.
When I started to look into the problem, I was searching in the docs about hardware buttons to use in the app. In Menu > Settings > Maps > Map control I found the reference to the +/- keys for zooming, but there was no meantion about the hidden "expert settings" menu, where you are able to rebind the keys. Maybe mention it on the "map control" docs page?
Thanks for the help.

Hi guys,
so in the next Locus Map 4 version will be a little improved selection dialog for controllers:
If there will be any suggestions to different default mapping, please let me know.
I'll also contact a BarButtons developer about this topic.
