Today we have the option: "Notify when too far from track"
Fine !
But, am I too far to the right or left ??
It would be very useful if there were two different sounds.
Suggestion:
Imagine yourself sitting in front of a piano, low sound = left, high sound=right
I can already see the headlines in boat magazines:
"Locus navigating your boat through your ears" ;-)
cheers

:) thanks. I'll do some more small updates to it and release new version probably in Thursday. Then will be some more reactions

Menion, please add some intents being fired up, after there is a new guiding message. This could be captured by some external app which will make use of the messages ( for example send them to LiveView watch, and show in form of pictures representing the turning direction )
Menion, Official Rep
elmuSSo, there were already before some request on Tasker integration. This is similar right? Remind me this when this improved guiding will works fine. Then we should discuss about some specialities. I have no problem to add it into Locus, but later

Hi,
i do some tests "guiding along a track" ;-))
"Notify when switching to another point" works and i hear the TTS-voice.
If i switch to
"Notify when too far away from track"
i hear no voice if the distance to the track is more than 50 meters.
I ́ve tested it outdoor with gps and indoor moving map by hand.
What can i do?

hi guys. When you tap in dialog where you define notification on button "Play" and it works, then it should work :). Are you really in bigger distance from track then you defined as minimal for notification. Also count that you have to count orthoginal distance to nearest point on track, not distance visible along guiding line

Hi Menion, the Play button works in both English and German.
"Notify when switching to another point" works with TTS in both English and German.
"Notify when too far away from track" works with TTS in English but not in German.

Hi Menion,
"Notify when too far away from track"
i tried it also in german, french and polnish but it only works in english

Hi Menion, I see in 2.7.3.5 that you started working on this feature as there is now a balloon text displayed in parallel to the spoken instructions (though never requested I think this is a good idea!). This works in English for both notification modes. In German both text and speech still don't appear for "Notify when too far away from track".
Menion, Official Rep
tommi, ignore this .. version you test have one invalid switch inside, so it works as my debug version, not as just testing version (it's just more testing :) )
work on improvements is needed and also planned, but it not yet started

Hi !
What am I'm doing wrong ???
I make my own new track, then when I should try this exellent feuture the lady only tell my 730 meters 4 hour then I go to the other side of the track she say for example 840 meters 5 hour . No left or right ;-(
I have a HTC Wildfire 2.2.1 os and it sucks
Please tell me whats wrong because I really think this is a great option !!

Hi Hakon,
i think you select
"Notify when too far away from track" so you heare 730 meters 4 hour.
if you want to hear for example "100 meter left" you have to select
"Notify when switching to another point"
i think you select
"Notify when too far away from track" so you heare 730 meters 4 hour.
if you want to hear for example "100 meter left" you have to select
"Notify when switching to another point"
Can this be correct ??
If I want to know when I'm to far away from track I should select:
"Notify when switching to another point"
Anyway I tried "Notify when switching to another point"
But for sure, then I can here the voice when switching waypoint and not when I'm to far away from track.
Ok, I'm sitting in my sofa and simulate, but I still belive this option must work !?
What should I expect the TTL voice telling me? Meters from track and angel how get there ?
Thanks
Hakon

- "Notify..." are two different modes.
- I think it's more meters from next point on track and angel to get there.

Hi everyone in this topic,
after a 250 km tour in the Eifel near Cologne/Germany I'm thrilled with "guiding with your ears", because it works wonderfully.
But, as always, it also depends on your settings. For cycling I experimented with "Set next point" (in "Guiding) and found 80m to be best.
There's just one little thing I'd like to have changed: after having been told to turn right or left, the voice always tells you "straight", which, I think, is obvious and after repetition a little annoying. So if it would be possible to cut that out, "guiding with your ears" would be perfect!

I think this "straight" comes only once per point, doesn't it?
Did you use a recorded track for guiding or a did you create one by hand?
In the latter case I would only define points if there are turns in the course where you need instructions. Or an example for the other way round: I wouldn't create multiple points for a straight part of the course.

In guiding the notifications are obviously triggered by the change of angles to the next point, so with a small angle the notification is "bear" (right or left), with medium "turn", with the greatest "sharp", and with around 0 "straight" - and it doesn't matter, in which way the track was created. In any case, "straight" is unnecessary and distracting.

hi guys,
three things
1. nice that you use this feature and seems it works for you, good :)
2. problem with "Straight" is that exists cases, when you'll need to say this. And if I exclude this, then you should miss important information. So that's why I added this.
3. as you may see, current "definition" is really confusing. To be true, it's confusing even for me :) So I'll for sure do some GUI changes, to make it more obvious what every settings do. Till then, good luck with settings and enjoy your ride ;)

Hi Menion,
good to hear that you will work on this feature.
But the comments in the last months did not only complain about the GUI so I would appreciate that you take also these comments into account (there were several from my side (not only the one with the a bit artifical though correct gpx).
