Home positioning

Hi, I wanted to ask if there's any possibility to quickly set screen centralized on "home" POI. Currently I have my home point created under Favourites folder in POI management screen but setting screen to this point is quite time consuming. Need to go to POI mgmt, then need to open folder which takes some time (what's strange this folder containts only 15 points, but I have also other folders with thousaunds of points in there - can it have impact?) and once the lsit of POIs in that folder is visible, I need to choose the one that is my home location and on the detail screen I can click on map icon - then the map is located there. Is it possible to have one icon somewhere on the screen, which clicked would automatically move th center of the mpa to that point??


That would be useful as for geocaching I have a lof of POIs categorized in separate folders per state (voivodeship in Poland) but I show only the ones which are of some distance from my home location - and that is read from the location of the cursor on the map. So whenever I want to manage them (e.g. after new import of caches from gpx file) first I need to do described actions to centralize on home, and then fiter in folders per distance to show new caches etc. Also when I'm in terrain navigating and then I stop Locus, after getting back home the map is still where GPS was turned on before - and for POIs management which I;m doing at home, Neither I want to turn on GPS, nor it will bring any result as it does not work in the building.


Thank's for your help.

Good day Kipcior,

required functionality is not possible in Locus Map.

In next version will be one improvement = tap on point icon in list of points will immediately display point on the map and center map on it. So few steps less and mainly no need to load point detail.


Also one option should be to use "Search > move to" function, which opens dialog with various location sources. In this dialog, you may define custom places/locations, so this may be also fast method how to transfer map center to certain location.


Hope this was helpful for You.
