Hi there Locusts,
I would like to know whether the Android Wear add-on works without being connected to the smartphone? I.e. using the watch GPS while the phone remains at home? I can't seem to figure this out...
If not, is this something that will be implemented?
Sorry but I have no use looking at a watch when the phone with a big screen is in my pocket. But when running it would be super useful to leave the phone at home!
I'm currently using Ghostracer and tbh I'd like to get rid of that and have only one integrated app.
Thanks for the help and thank you for getting this far with the app and add-on!
I like this idea 
Wtedy byłaby to najlepsza aplikacja :-) na świecie.

Hello guys,
I agree that this feature would be really nice, but it is not planned for now, or at least not in the short-term, since it is not so easy to implement.
So, please, if you are interested in this feature, definitely add a vote here to let us know that this feature is really wanted.

Oh, how I wish to be able to have all my locus lovings on phone and watch, but would be able to leave phone at home when running 🏃 :-)

I want to use Gear S3 stand-alone and load GPX files to follow a route when running. I also would like a base map in the background

stand alone app with offline map in my Galaxy Watch Active 2 is something I would be happy to pay for

The feature would be best when running, in line and others where I'm light. Other sports and activities do not think they are so demanding in weight with or without a phone. I have LG SPORT watches equipped with all sensors, but for the necessity of transferring data with my mobile phone, I have to have a phone with me when running in unknown space. It bothers ...

I paid for the app thinking that I can transfer the route from phote to my garmin vivoactive 4 and just use the watch while cylcing.. turns out my phone needs to be navigating the entire time, consuming battery.. now i'm disappointed.

ja, bitte Stand alone entwickeln. Es macht ja keinen Sinn eine Sportuhr zusammen mit den Smartphone zu benutzen. Dann brauche ich die Uhr nicht, sondern zeichne wie bisher meine sportlichen Aktivitäten weiterhin mit Locus Pro auf!!

I think being able to download the map material for an area or gpx track would increase the device speed a lot. I sometimes need to wait for some seconds until the map is updated when I pick up my watch.
Also beging able to just download the gpx track would help without map material.

Stacilo by uz jenom videt mapu a aktualni pozici na hodinkach - to by bylo nadhera! Mejte se moc hezky! Zdravim, Jürgen.
Hodinky mají vlastní GPS, několik GB paměť atd., je to tato příležitost, šetřit akumulátor mobilního telefonu za důležitější věci, když se chodí přes přírodu celý den, nebo nechat telefon doma, když se jezdí jenom kousek na kole.
Byli byste jediní na světě, který to nabízí! Existuje mnoho dotazů!
V oblasti silničních map to dokáže pouze HereWeGo! Byli byste jediní v oblasti turistických map!
Proč mají dnes hodinky vlastní GPS a spoustu GB paměti? Baterii pro svůj mobilní telefon můžete ušetřit pro důležitější aplikace (nouzová volání?), když chodíte den nebo víc přírodou. Telefon byste mohli nechat doma, když jenom krátce jezdíte kolem.
Potřebuji pouze navigaci na hodinkách samostatně bez mobilního telefonu.

Hey here is Georg, I agree - just for a short run I dont need my smartphone or actually dont wanna take anything with me. Just record with my galaxy - watch the route. this feature would be great and to transfer later to the mobile and watch it in detail. georg

A wear os app similar to garmin fenix / epic (offline topo maps, rotating map navigation, sport data fields) would be a unique selling point.

I would love to be able to use my watch's own compass instead of the phone's because I usually keep my phone in a place where its compass is not accurate.

I would love offline maps but offering more features for geocaching — like Locus for Garmin watches — would be at the top of my wish list.

I'm using Locus on my phone since forever and am also paying for the subscription since v4.
But using the WearOS App on my Pixel Watch (v1) for running is really frustrating.
First of all it's unstable/buggy
- I sometimes have to reboot the watch so I can press the record button again
- sometimes the tracking just stops all of sudden
Please consider doing a standalone app. I think the issues above are rooted in the unstable connection to the phone.
And of course, keeping the phone at home during running would be a huge plus.
I don't think the standalone app needs to have more features than the current one. It just needs to be stable and sync the new tracks to the phone and use the watch's sensors during tracking.
I checked out Ghostracer which also has a separate Wear OS App that seems to do just that.

It's just that their main phone app lacks lot of other stuff I like about Locus.
I currently have no idea how other comparable apps compete in that regard but I fear I need to check them out once after my subscribption runs out.
