Thanks

The manual changes (almost) every day
-> http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manu...
If there were downloadable doku files -> too many outdated files spread the www

So -2 from my side

Thank you for the Link. Your graphic is exactly what I have been doing as I cannot get the JS script to run within my browser. Downloaded and unzipped the script, installed " Execute JS" plug-in in my FireFox browser, run the Open ExecuteJS tool in the browser and frustration..bang bang bang . Reread the information on the JS script page at least ten times and cannot get past the Installation instructions title line...bang bang bang..
Thanks anyway..

link from berkley was not on script that you may run in your firefox. It's link to script that have to be installed to DokuWiki site (site where is manual page) and I need to define pages that will be in the end exported to PDF file.

Anyway as gynta wrote, manual is not yet complete, quite a lot of pages change often and it will take some time till Locus will be in quiet, stable and not-to-fast-changing state. So I really suggest to test and play directly with locus, ask and search here for solution for troubles and read manual online ... for now

I have been going through all of the options that I can find and most are very intuitive to use. I am a person that is compelled to look at all of the menu options and develop an understanding of them. I prefer to have the printed manual in front of me and so I can follow along with the explanation as I use the device or software. I have a problem in leaving a screen switching to an on-line manual and then going back to the screen.
Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to retain information read from a computer and require a physical print in my hands for full comprehension. In talking with friends I find that there are many people like me in that respect.

I hike in remote areas where data reception is rarely available and on-line help is a moot issue. So hopefully a PDF will eventually be available to load into the phone for reference when needed and I can have my little booklet in my backpack. :-}

I do appreciate the assistance given by all in this thread.
Locus Pro is a good app and your continual support to it is appreciated.
Thanks again.

ok understand. because you created this topic, you'll be notified when here will be any changes. I understand that complete PDF manual should come handy, so I'll try create one (and post about it here), once wiki will be at least from 90% complete ...

Thank you , It was a suggestion and I now understand the complexity of the situation. I would prefer that you spend your time working the app itself and on some of the very beneficial requests by the other users. That is more important.
Best regards....
PS: Really appreciate the Custom Screen, DashBoard and DashBoard Editor features.
