The summer is in full swing and we are publishing a brand new version of your most favourite app. Again, it contains tens of fixes and small improvements, but also a few major enhancements we developed according to your ideas:

More accurate trip planning with new estimated time box

When you plan a trip, a workout route or a bike ride, you usually tell Locus a few facts - what activity you are going to do on the route and what particular places you need to visit. Locus measures the length of the planned route, shows its elevation chart and calculated elevation gain so you can imagine what your trip will look like. Now, it can show your how long it will take!

The estimated time box you can find in the bottom bar of the Route planner:

The time is calculated by a new algorithm delivered by our routing partners GraphHopper and BRouter, interpolated with your average speed of selected activity.

New clear and simple Live Tracking manager

We are going on improving our real time location sharing service - Live Tracking. As we had hinted last time, we've been preparing a brand new screen of Live Tracking manager:

Now you can:

• clearly distinguish among your defined Live Tracking profiles
• simply start and stop them
• see how many active people are in selected rooms
• quickly enter livetracking chat in selected rooms

Simple Locus Store log in without contacts permission

Many of you have wondered why on Earth Locus needs contacts permission. Locus doesn't need to know your contacts - it just needed your Google or Facebook account e-mail for Locus Store identification. Nevertheless, Android has this permission in a bulk with contacts so we spent hours explaining that it is not our fault.

Hurray, Locus doesn't need to know your email any longer, nor does it need the "contacts permission".

Login to Locus Store is now processed directly by Google or Facebook:

Enjoy your summer adventures with the new Locus Map!
