Tracks/Routes in Locus Map are managed in Tracks tab of the Data Manager. In default settings, the Tracks tab can be accessed from:

• Main menu > Tracks

For even quicker access you can add “Tracks” button to the Function panel at the top or right edge of the display.

Tracks Tab displays all tracks and routes in a structure of folders and groups of folders. Each folder line consists of an icon, a folder name, number of visible/stored tracks and and action menu button.

Tapping it visualizes all tracks in the folder on the map. Re-tapping hides them all. If you previously displayed only some tracks from the folder, tapping offers to display your previous selection or all tracks.

Tapping it unfolds a list of tracks/routes in the folder.

• Edit - here you can insert folder into a group if there is any created and edit folder icon, name and style of included tracks on map
• Import - adds new tracks into the folder by importing them
• Export - exports all tracks in the folder, see more in Tracks Export
• Delete - deletes whole folder

Each group line contains the group name and number of folders allocated in it.

• Track recording - switches to the maps screen and launches the track recording dashboard. Pressing start begins to record the track from your current GPS position. More about track recording >>
• Add new route & measure - switches to the map screen and launches additional control panel for inserting route waypoints, calculating routes, settings etc. More about Route drawing >>
• Add new folder - tracks in Locus Map are stored in folders to group more tracks of the same kind in one place. Folders can be handled as one object and some operations can be performed only on tracks in one folder. Sorting them, filtering them, changing their style etc.
  
  • Icon & Name - here the folder icon and name is set. There is a wide selection of Locus and Garmin styled icons available for precise distinguishing of folders.
  • Style on map - sets the behavior of this folder tracks information labels on the map
    • Global settings - the track labels behavior submits global settings made in Map Objects Features

• Edit on map - adds another bottom panel with editing controls. More about track editing and route drawing here >>
• Navigation/guidance - opens another dialog offering two ways of guiding along the track:
  • Navigation - turns the track into a route, generates voice commands and starts turn-by-turn navigation. Navigation may require internet connection depending on selected router.. More about navigation >>
  • Guidance - turns the track into a route and starts simple guiding along it (no voice navigation). More about route guidance >>
• Hide - makes the track invisible on map

Tapping the track label or track line in the Manager launches the Track Detail Screen:

The track/route detail screen is divided into a few sections:

• top panel with the track name

Each track/route in Locus has its color, pattern, width and other parameters. These parameters can be set in several levels:

Color, transparency and width of all tracks and routes in the app is by default set globally - you can change these settings in Settings > Maps > Points & Tracks > Track color and transparency, Tracks width

These settings can be overridden by following:

Tracks and routes stored in one folder in the Track/route manager can have unified style settings. These settings can be edited in the folder action menu:



Track folder style settings offer all options of styling line available in Locus. Besides the color, transparency or width there is the mode of the line that can be just simple or can visualize various dynamic values, like altitude, speed, cadence or heart rate in variable colors of the light spectrum:

All colors are defined relatively to min/max values. E.g. minimal speed is blue, maximal speed is red,other values are interpolated. The line style offers a vast range of patterns:

If you do not want to change the track/route style by folder settings, you can leave the global settings:

Style of recorded tracks can be set according to used recording profile.

This style offers also changing the line mode:

Recording profile style can be overwritten by style of the folder where you store your recorded tracks unless it is switched off in the folder style edit dialog:

Style of individual tracks or routes can be edited in the track/route detail screen edit dialog:


To activate individual settings you have to switch off the folder settings:

It is possible to change individual style of multiple tracks/routes:

• open a folder with tracks/routes you want to edit
• multi-select tracks for editing
• tap the tool menu from the bottom bar and select Change style
