Keep watch screen on when in map view
Gathering feedback
I think it would be better to keep the screen always on when Locus Map for Android Wear is in map view or either use the ambient mode with a convenient refresh rate of the map.
Hello,
it would be possible to add some kind of user settings to dynamically enable/disable "screen always on" behavior. But I think this setting does not even let the watch dim the screen so it is really battery intensive, so it might not be such a great idea but it is definitely doable.
Regarding the ambinet mode - the mode is already implemented and should be working for users who have Always-on screen enabled in system settings. The screen is allowed to dim but stays always on and receives update. As far as I know overriding system settings and force ambient mode is not possible if a user has it disabled in system settings.
If the ambient mode is not working for you or anybody reading this even though it is enabled through "Always-on screen" in display system settings then please report it as a bug as it should be working.
