In case you were not aware: Sharing routes from #strava with non strava users is not possible. They will not let you view the route, download #GPX, edit (a copy), nothing. The only flow allowed is to register to do even the most basic things. So please before sharing, make sure that the other person actually has strava account. Or use any other service that does not put basic things behind login. #Locus #LocusMap

Biked around for almost two hours (not non-stop) with a route I made in Locus Map. I've paid for 3 months Premium to see if this app is worth it for me. So far I do like it. Big bonus is to be able to attach pictures to that POI. And the route planner is also sweet with easily calculating the routes on the fly when I add a POI somewhere in there. I still am trying to figure out some details. Like, how do I actually 'start' a planned route and tell the map that I am on that leg now? Not sure if that's possible but it seems to me like it should. When I track my trip, afterwards it has a section for waypoints (from the planned route I presume), but it's empty because I just tracked my trip straightaway, since I don't know how to do it from the planned route's POV. I'm sure I'll figure it out someday (or you can tell me if you know! :D), this is the first trip I took with the track recording and that went fairly well. I simply followed the planned route by looking at the map regularly and going to its next POI. I'm sure there'll be more trips in the near future, I really liked it. A big downside is that the website is fairly bad to terribad. I hope the photos can sync over to another Android device as the website won't even show those. #LocusMap
