Hi.

I can not find the MOB function in Locus Pro. Very useful to add temp. cordinates. Is there any or is it missing. I miss it.

Hi,

unfortunatelly there isn't any MOB feature. But as gynta wrote you can subtitute with feature Add quick new point. This feature anable to define the name, folder and icon of new point that will be saved when this feature is pressed. You can add Quick new point into the right panel so it's always available.

Please see:

I have found the quick poi. It is useful but not as MOB. Should come with next upgrade, I suggest ;-)

Don't think so ;-)

Can you explain what you need exactly? Tell us how should it work? What should a MOBfuntion do?

Drop a waypoint on the map and immediately see it on the map so you can navigate right back. In Locus, you can use QuickPOI but (as far as I know) you then have to open the points, navigate to the folder you put the new point into, then open its info window, then touch the map icon in the lower left. Very cumbersome and slow, especially under pressure.

Just a MOB function. Emergency or superquick saving a poi.

I agree. It is really missing.

Hi guys,


1. I still so no clear description, what it MOB! So I don't know, what you want

2. I can't imagine something faster then "Quick point" (if you just need to quickly add points), or directly "Guide to" button on right panel.

I have placed the quick button on the right panel. Works fine
