WearOS zoom not working

Hi Nix,

the pinch zoom never worked on the watches but the zoom buttons should work - we've tested it without issues. Try restarting both Locus Map on the phone and the watch add-on.

Ok, seems that my connection with the phone is so laggy that the map doesn't get transferred. While zooming with the controls on the watch, Locus on the phone freezes and then the connection to the watch is lost. I can see the map beeing resized when I hit the zoom controls, just then the connection seems to terminate.

Check and make sure both Locus Map and Locus Map Watch are excluded from all means of battery optimization. Also, make sure Locus Map has the system permisson to access nearby devices. More at https://docs.locusmap.app/doku.php?id=manual:faq:bt_sleep_issues

I have all optimization disabled already as well as given all permission and excluded the app from automatic Management (Samsung S24)

Scrolling the map works without lag but the zoom seems to crash either party (watch or companion app on the phone).

I was beta tester for the app but left the beta and did a complete reinstall but still the same issue.

Have you also tried testg this issue with Locus Map 4? If yes, is it replicable?

I tested again today and now it's working. Maybe it took some time to unroll from the beta.

You can close the ticket.

Thanks for your support 👍
