Upload POI directly in OSM
Declined
With Locus I can easily upload tracks to OSM after login to my account, unfortunately it seems I cannot upload POIs directly to OSM which would be very nice. Maybe this might be an interesting feature for upcoming updates.
I like this idea 
I think that's what OSM blocks. I wanted to do that once before. I uploaded a point from my PC and it didn't work either.
When I'm on the road, I always have a track recording running. You can add track points via the recording panel. These are then embedded in the track at the corresponding points. When you upload this track to OSM, these points are displayed at the location with the specified name.
I have saved texts that I often need as favorites in “New Points (Quick)”. This is located in the bottom bar. A quick click on it and my track point is created.
For example, road, path, gravel, grass, parking lot, grade 1, etc. – everything I often need.
On my bike, I have a small remote control that I use to trigger a Tasker action. I just say “grass” or “parking lot” and a number (number of parking spaces).

Hi guys,
correct me if I'm wrong, but upload of GPX files to OSM server is made for tracks, not for points.
What we have in mind for quite a long time is a simple tool, something like "Quick add point" method, for adding points from Locus Map to OSM. Hope it won't stay just in our heads 😊.

Hi guys, thanks for your help and the workaround.
Actually something like a"add point to OSM" button is exactly what I was asking for. I used this button pretty frequently in osmand and was looking for a similar option in Locus. Good to know that it's on your agenda...
Cheers, Steffen
