Automatic orientation at start of navigation

olliz shared this problem 7 months ago
Not a Problem

Since the last update (version 4), the automatic orientation no longer works when starting navigation.
Only by double-clicking the centering button, North Orientation - Actual Orientation, does the actual direction display again.

Hi,

please check if you have a preset linked to navigation (Locus settings > Navigation > Link to preset). If yes, then remove the link or change the linked preset configuration so that it has map rotation turned ON.

Thanks - rotation is always on. Alignment used to be automatic, now it's on GPS.

So please select the "automatic change" so that hardware compass is used when standing still and GPS is used when in movement.

That's how it was set up before... and yet the problem described still occurred.

Please create a backup of your settings and share it for a test. Thanks.

Thanks. I can see that in the "gravel" preset, which is linked to navigation, you have auto-change set for the map rotation with the threshold speed of 2 km/h. This is too low - the app considers this speed as a standstill due to possible GPS deviations. Change it to 3.5 km/h, and the hardware compass will engage.

Also, in your general settings, you have "orientation via GPS" set for the map rotation—this setup doesn't rotate the map when standing still because the GPS only calculates the direction according to movement. Unless you use Locus Map in the car, use the auto-change with a threshold speed of 3.5 km/h. Use "orientation by GPS" to avoid the phone's compass's interference with the car electronics in a car only.

Unfortunately not for me!

I use LM in my car and on my motorcycle. When I start navigation, the map remains in the direction it was in when navigation started (not north, not in the direction of travel, but sporadically somehow). Even when moving! Independent of the setting in alignment mode and even with automatic alignment up to 3.6 km/h using the compass in the device. Only when you tap the compass icon to orient the map north and then tap the compass icon again to switch back to “in the direction of travel” is the orientation correct.

According to Michal Stupka's explanation above, the map should be aligned in the direction of travel at least while driving, even if GPS is selected for map orientation! However, this is not the case (with no setting for orientation)!

Hi,

in a car or motorcycle (or in any other environment possibly interfering with the sensors of the phone) it is recommended to have:

- orientation via GPS ON

- map rotation ON:

Try "Auto-Change" or "Hardware-Compass" on a Bike.

I've also never had a problem with a hardware compass in my car....
