Geocaches with corrected coordinated: show Original Coords on map too

Not sure. Maybe more intuitive, on second side isn't better to see at top what is more important?

c.s.g, balloni55, what you think? I'm sure you all search for caches more then me ... thanks.

you're right, important Cacheinfos at first sight.

On the other side if Locus would put them just above or below to the coorected coords on very top, then no "importang first-sight space" is lost, cause the top area with the Corrected coordinates ins't displayed too when opening a Cache's waypoint. Just if people scroll up for cooordinates. In this case it's cool to have all "info regarding coordinates" together and not splitted across the tab.

i agree with sonny´s "optimation"

e.g.

additional questions:

- "display on map" is only temporary or stored as last used

- are both displayed icons identically? or is the corrected one the new "solved icon" from GS ? or this one

@menion: For me this feature in Locus is not neccessary at all. I have my original coordinates and a more detailed comment about the original coordinates stored in a child waypoint in GSAK for the corresponding geocaches. Therefore I have the information of original coordinates already in a way that is sufficient for me when I import that gpx file to Locus on tab "WEGPUNKTE"..

For me it is only importand that "display on map" can be disabled for all geocaches.

On the other hand displaying the original coordinates below the current coordinates makes sense for me.

And about the icon:. It would be nice, if this icon can be configured like the other icons described here in chapter Geocaching icons if the user do not like the default icon for the original coordinates.

Or (maybe better) use the original icon for that cache type and place the little puzzle symbol from ballonis post in the left upper corner. Not only mystery caches can have coorected coordinates. Therefore the ? icon does not probably match for the actual cache type .

c.s.g.

Thanks for a feedback guys, appreciate it.

I agree it should be somewhere close to coordinates in the end. "Original coordinates" aren't usually visible and when they are, we may expect that user already know everything about cache and coordinates are more important then before.

Consider as improved.

Balloni to your questions. Displayed point is only temporary. I believe you wants to use it in that moment, so there is no need to store it permanently. And when you need, you may add it manually ;).

For "original location" point, I've choose quite simple blue icon with "down arrow" to make it different. I think it does not worth invest more time into it ;).

Thanks for a feedback.

I tested it in Betaversion. Cool, works ok!

Would it be possible to connect the new icon on the map also with a line to the Cacheicon, like the other waypoints? Thats a good optical help in cache-dense regions.

Hello sonny,

I was thinking about same ... to make this work, it will need to create this "original coordinates" point as an extra waypoint.

Hmm to make this work, maybe it should be easier instead of display some unknown point on the map, allows to create a new waypoint from these original coordinates? When you create a new waypoint, there is an option to choose (three dot menu) a "projection from ... ", so maybe rather create option here? What you think.

I think that's to complicated for the use out in the field.

Either Locus can automatically connect the point with a line to the Cacheicon or otherwise the Orig-Coords icon stays free on the map like now.

Maybe it is possible to add the Orig-coords icon as temporary extra waypoint? Just in the case the user is clicking onto "Display on map" within the Listing?

But if the automatic line connection doesn't work, it's no problem too. most important is that Icon is on the map :-)

Oki, thanks for a feedback. Then please consider this as a final solution for now. Something like temporary attached waypoint etc. to force Locus Map to connect both points is quite complicated for now. Thanks for understanding.

Not sure if this is the right place for this question but it is to do with corrected coordinates. I used to download PQs from geocaching.com into Locus and a little red blob appeared to show the coords were corrected. I now don't get any indication and it is very difficult to differentiate between caches with or without corrected coordinates. Has this been changed?

As far as I know, only caches refreshing via the API contains info about original and corrected coordinates.

Pocketqueries only one pair of coordinates wheter the original for unsolved mysteries or the corrected for solved mysteries when doing the correction on geocaching.com. But there is no flag in the gpx file if the coordinates are the original or the corrected ones.

Look also here and here.

I am waiting for this feature from groundspeak for several years now. But because I am using GSAK for creating the gpx files for Locus, Locus recognized solved mysteries without any problems.
