Lopoints and Photos
Answered
Since I have not received a reasonable answer in the forum, I am contacting the helpdesk. Recently, when I click on the icon of a Lopoint, I get the message "Add photo of location", screenshot attached, which is annoying. How can I switch this off please?
The same question
You cannot deactivate the message yourself. The developers want photos to be added to the POIs whenever possible and advertise this.
You can only try to convince them that the message bothers you (and others). Perhaps they will then remove it or change it to a more discreet message.

Hi Hartmut,
the announcement is only displayed when tapping on a LoPoint in your vicinity - not when you tap a LoPoint everywhere. We only encourage the Locus Map community to participate in photo mapping this way.

Sorry Michal Stupka, I didn't know that.
But the vicinity seems to be very large. Not to say global. I get the announcement at every LoPoint, even more than 600 km away....

Offline or online does not matter. But for Points 700 km away from my actual place the message is shown

I've already taken a few pictures. Maybe that's why I haven't reported anything else. Just take a few pictures. Rest area, drinking water, shelter. That will help others.

I think this is (relatively) new. Otherwise I would have noticed it earlier.
V 4.26.3
Even in the current MyLib test version on my old device, the message appears with every LoPoint.

On my Smartphones with Android 14 the message appears on my tablet with Android 12 not, locus 4.26.3 running on both.

Hi all,
the prompt to add a photo to all LoPoints is present on some apps only due to A/B testing of the feature. Sorry if it causes any inconvenience. We'll remove the option in the next app version, nevertheless, some other variant of A/B testing will be presented.
