Hi,


we are sorry for the trouble, there isn`t an option for editing of look of the track line in the app.


In every way, thank you for your idea. If you want, you can create a topic for this theme here, on Get satisfaction. The number of votes can decided, if the function will be in the Locus or not.


I will add my vote to your idea ;)

I really hope you are not going to try and read street names on a small phone screen while driving :)

hehe, i use it mostly for hiking or before i go by car somewhere. But on 4 Zoll display and good zoom level it would be really possible to read the streetnames.


ad Hana: Thank you for the answer! I was spending plenty of time in searching the options and now i know it is not possible. I will start a topic.


mabe you can help me one more time: for geocaching i wanted to use a satellite map with good resolution, but the only one i have is from mapQuest. How or where can i get good satellite or hybrid maps (Austria)

Does this mean I can now make navigation tracks transparent??


In the latest version of locus I can see how to make them thinner, but not how to make them transparent (which would be very useful). Am I missing something?


Thanks

yes you can. When you tap on "set color" preference, you should be able to select transparency with bottom slider. Anyway I discovered today that on smaller phones, transparency slider is not visible in landscape mode, so try to rotate your phone for this case. This should work ...

Ah.... silly me! - I thought that was just for changing lightness/darkness, and didn`t even bother trying it


Many thanks!
