Coordinates grid

See screenshot.


The coordinates are always covered by the right-hand panel.


It should offset to the left, like the lower coords offset upwards, to miss the panel.


Or the cordinates should switch with the left-handed option, so the coords are always opposite to the side panel.


The workaround is to switch left-handed on because the side panel moves, but the coords don't.

When in route planner the lower coordinates are also covered by the itinerary panel. IMO this issue is a 'problem' not an 'idea'

You are right, the itenerary in particular completely hides the coordinates. We'll check if it's possible to improve it.

Hello Goosien,

thanks for the bug report. App currently compute borders in the center of the screen. In your case, small help > add one or two items into the side functions panel 😊.

In route planner, this is even worst, agree. Here UI components are ignored completely.

Solve it correctly is a little more complicated and I personally consider this as a minor problem, where solution would take a more time and degrade performance a little (app will have to precompute exact positions and test UI sizes multiple-times for every draw).

So sorry, this won't be fixed for now.

If the performance deteriorates, you should leave it as it is. You can still read it, and you can move the card a little to read it.

For the route planner part of this..... the better solution IMO would be as described in :

https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/36812-map-cursor-coordinates-display-in-android-route-planner

i.e. option to show the coordinates of map-center in top-panel as is done already in the main map screen. It seems odd that can be done in main map but not route planner map.

Actually, for me, as I use the Web Planner mostly for route planning then refine in the android app (adding via-points mainly) more important is accurate coordinates shown in the Web Planner URL, but that's a different story.

IMO coordinates are a fundamental/vital piece of information for any map, whether digital or paper, more so when out in the wild, but also for planning purposes, especially as a means of communicating location with others.
