Route planner Jumping back to gps-position
Closed
I used yesterday the routeplanner of 3.36.2 the first time with running GPS. I observed a behavior, I did not in former versions the last few weeks since I use Locus.
If I am adding shape, no go points the map jumps back to the gps-position. This is very annoying, if one add such points many kms away from the gps-position.
In the former versions of Locus it was possible in the routeplanner to explore another region of the map, because the map did not jump back to the gps-position. Now it not possible.
I did not change the settings.
The same problem 
Hi Stephan,
try to turn off automatic holding of map screen center position - long tap the centering button on the main screen bottom left corner > uncheck "hold map center". Does it help?

Hi Michal,
I have to test this. But your suggestions changes the settings, which I did not have to change before the change to 3.36.
There are other odd changes in the routeplanner. Before 3.36.2 there was a white "-" sign and a blue "+"-sign, if one had setted no point yet. Now both signs are blue.
After starting the navigation in the routeplanner, there route is in the beginning is white and there are big arrows in the screen.
After starting the navigation there are shown

Hi Stephan,
1) actually, you don't have to change your "hold map center" settings - just uncenter your map (tap the blue centering button so that it changes its color to grey)
2) I've compared lastest route planner version with screenshots in the Manual that were made a few months ago and they seem the same to me... see https://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:tracks:planning
3) honestly, I don't know how to simulate this - I tested it on two devices and both with the same result - navigation line purple and normal-sized arrows...

He Michal,
1. This was a misunderstanding of mine. I thought you talked about the button in the main screen.
2.) I have made screenshots of older version and newest version before setting the first point. Do you see the difference?
The new coloring is a little bit confusing, because one never know, is there a route, did I set a point by mistake or can I do really the first point.
3.) After reinstalling the app (See ticket: Can not install Pro version [#16150]) I will test with real GPS on weekend.

Hi Stephan,
1) you understood it correctly - I was writing about the centering button on the main screen. Nevertheless, I tested it right now and even if "hold map center" is ON and centering is active, in route planner the position doesn't switch back to the actual position...
2) I can see the difference, interesting, I never noticed the "-" button used to be greyed :) However, as nobody else has reported this as disadvantage, I think the main developer won't deal with it.
Awaiting further results of your testing

This odd arrows are still exist in the first time
after starting the navigation.

Hi Stephan,
the big arrow occurs randomly or after some particular step/action?

Hi Stephan,
regarding the big white arrow - please check Locus settings > navigation > route width if the value is not exaggerated.

Thanks Stephan for send backup of your settings. I tried to restore it on own device and, unfortunately, all works correctly for me.
I'm a little lost now. I expect you want to use this feature, so may I prepare for you special test version that will print us some additional information into the text file?

I have tried yesterday another device with another Android. Same issue. Repeatable. Starting Navigation of a planned route in routeplanner. Version 3.36.2. The former version on this device did not show this artefacts.
Important, it do not happen with GPS-simulation, only with a real GPS-fix.

Thanks for additional comments Stephan and Michael,
interesting. I was playing with it maybe an hour, tried many variations and this issue with the big white arrow still never happen. As you both wrote, not a big problem, but I'll keep watching it ... thanks.

Hello. I was searching PROBLEMS section and found this one, which is very similar to mine.
I am planning a trip. And when I need to take a look at geocache listing, I need to exit the planner amd open the cache. But when I quit the planner, it snaps me to position where my map was, not where I was looking through the planner. WITHOUT gps running.
It is a problem, because when I plan the track, I move with it and by the time I need to exit planner and look at listing, I am often far away from my original position on the map. But it snaps me back to original position.
