Thank you for this idea. I would call it "get closest POI"
Navigation commands could be difficult because Locus API rely on requesting information, we have to check POI distance regularly. I could implement a "search the closest POI filtered by something" Then you could make the following POIs:
Tasker would look like this execute every 5 minutes:
But there is one small problem, if you travel 2000m in 5 minutes you may never get close to 1000m range:
If checks run at 11:00 and 11:05 you will never below 1000m and miss your tasker notification.
Would this help for your navigation and audio training?
@homipc would a solution based on "get POI near to current position" be good enough for you? Then I would like to implement something like this.
I did start to create a feature which finds point near to current location.
It will have radius and name filter. And to prevent duplicate notification it will have an option to exclude a list of point ids.
For NAVIGATION you can set up how many notifications will get calculated on a track https://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings#advanced_settings. If medium does create to many commands and low not enough, then you need to look at POI Alert
For BIKE AUDIO TRAINING You can use POI Alert for your points: https://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:functions:poi_alert
GEOCACHING you can use POI Alert or try increasing notification frequency https://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:functions:guidance#target_notifications
@homipc Is there anything which could be improved there? It would be quite easy to get points near current location over api to do anything with them.
From offered actions is more wanted "Start navigation to:" for me. But even more I'd like action: "warning on POI". I often use POI in different situations: 1) NAVIGATION: I need only some navigation command (not all navigation), where is important change direction etc. 2) BIKE AUDIO TRAINING: now Locus allows only time or distance warnings, but I need warning in the exact location. I set POI in this location and I obtain text to speach warning. 3) GEOCACHING etc. Thanks for this the exact location. Homi
