Different distances for POI alert
Dear Locus Team,
I use Locus maps for many years, but one feature I hardly miss is a more variable distance for POI proximity Warnings.
To explain: I use the POI alert to warn for obstacles during regattas. With the same distance for all POI warnings I have too less time to react or, if i choose a bigger distance, I only get a "X Points near" message.
In GPX Files from Garmin-Handheld GPS for example they use a "proximity" flag in the WaypointExtension for that (See Example below).
It could be one possibility to use the same flag "if exist" it uses the distance.
Otherwise you might add an distance field to the selection of the folder which should be announced.
For other usecases it might be interresting to get an anouncement of some sights quite near to it but want to get warned for the restaurant you want to visit before you just missed it ;-)
Example waypoint with proximity distance:
<wpt lat="53.018581531941891" lon="5.479056816548109">
