Add a compass screen to the watch application identical or similar to the compass screen in Locus Map.

This way we could select a POI to get a bearing to, and then once we have set off,just use the watch to guide us

Even better if watch could vibrate whenyour armispointing in the bearing direction

Thisappworks great https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.runar.wearcompass except youhavetomanually choose a location when you have already chosen one in locus....

A radar view would be good as well ( like the compass but inblack/green for night vision and just showing bearing and distance toPOI)

This would be very helpful while geocaching.

Then you would have your hands free, especially in the final search. 😎

i gave up on this, but i might use a full android watch that could run locus directly to achieve this

It seems clear to me that they're not interested in the improvement of the smartwatch app. It's a shame because the main app is so good...

i feel its more to do with wearOS being so poor, there so many different types of smartwatches, wearOS is much smaller percentage of locus users, the main app needs more support....
