Hi Peter,
thanks for downloading Locus Map.
Readability in the sunshine – that’s a common problem of all digital displays..:(
Gloves – special gloves with touchscreen-friendly finger pads are available and recommended.
Route thickness – can be reconfigured as you say – best to set the route width for the whole folder where you store your routes. See the manual: https://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:tracks:management.
If you have any other questions please contact us best at help.locusmap.eu.

So far I have used locus only on one group ride yesterday, about 120 Miles in Southern California. The good: I could import the .kmz file the day before and I had it on the phone during the ride. As mentioned in the article above I also had my phone mounted on a RAM mount. The not so good: I had a hard time reading the map. For one it is pretty bright sunlight here and my Samasung S5 had bit of a hard time to compete. The mentioned issue with operation wearing gloves is another for me so far unresolved issue. Taking the glove off to tap the screen is no fun, albeit was necessary only rarely. The last thing is that the route as marked was hard to recognize due to the thin line which I thought can be reconfigured, but I am still looking for how to get this accomplished :-(. All in all I am looking forward to more test rides and I am very close to switching to the full version.
