FAQ
- To input location name on those device which doesn't support keyboard input (e.g. vivoactive):
|- Tap up/down side of screen to change current character (limited to small chars, numbers and a few spec symbols)
|- Tap left/right side of screen to move to prev/next character
|- Default location name for adding current location is yyMMddhhmm, where yy is current year, MM - month, dd - day, hh - hour, mm - minute
|- If you don't want to change default name, just tap 15 times on the right side (location name is limited up to 10 symbols), spaces on the start/end will be truncated
|- If future I'll develop more convenient way of input, but the main idea will be creating waypoints in the future mobile app
- If location is closer than 20m it shows circle instead of arrow and vibrates
- If distance filter is enabled, it shows only near locations with defined radius (if gps found)
- Use update gps interval settings to reduce battery using (based on different devices battery use tesing)
- Manual update interval hits gps only after pressing Start button in Location view (vibrates)
- Delete All removes all locations of current type
- Reset deletes all locations and resets settings to default
- You can check all locations count in About view
----------------------------------------
Plans
- Release for all other devices (already implemented, needs more testing on real devices).
- Mobile Android & iOS app-companion (the main key feature). Planned functionality:
|- Adding location from OSM map
|- Search by coordinates, type, address
|- Import from other apps (e.g. Google Maps) and gpx tracks

Donation
- If you like app you can support project (which I'm implementing in the gaps of free time) with donation to bitcoin wallet 3DrK1Hi6bn35qdBo1ZVVswASp77hT6fudy or MoneyBookers [email protected]
- I'll be very appreciated for any support, it will speed up developing next versions and mobile app
----------------------------------------
Notes & bugs
- May crash if locations count is near limit (lack of memory, will be optimised in next versions)
