Recording: GPS not disabled when screen off or locus map minimized
Not a Problem
I want to stop recording when display is off or locus map is minimized.
In Settings, I have:
GPS and Location> disable when hidden: ON; track recording:OFF; guidance:OFFgps auto-off:OFF.
in My recording profile> record when gps is off:OFF
But when I minimize locus map, gps stays ON.
Only when not in recording mode, does it behave as expected: gps ON when locus map is on screen, OFF otherwise. So it looks like the recording task keeps the gps awake.
Locus Map pro - S5 Neo - 6.0.1
The same problem 
It's by concept. When recording, you need GPS, so it doesn't switch off.

Thanks for the reply, Uatschitchun. I guess I misinterpreted the setting 'Track recording: Keep GPS on when the track recording is paused and screen off': it only applies when recording is on PAUSE + screen OFF, right? - but what is the use case?
I want to use recording as follows: screen OFF: GPS OFF and no recording - screen ON: GPS ON and recording on. This way I get a track along the day connecting with straight lines a serie of (usually single) points recorded each time I quickly check the map. Main reason: battery saving.
I can achieve this differently, though: with GPS auto-off set to ON + a rather high GPS update interval eg 36000s + Keep auto-off enabled set to OFF, I get points recorded only when looking at the map, and GPS if off the rest of the time.
So I guess the ticket can be closed :-)
