    Nope, the player needs to get to a certain distance from the location before it can be shown again.

    Wow, the app gets more better the more I understand it.

    I was wondering how I could measure nearly exact distances so that e.g. I can set a point 50m before and another 50m behind a bridge.

    Just now I noticed that in the right column "Closest Locations" you can see how far away a certain location is.

    So I set a New Location in the middle under the bridge. The resulting point has the same coordinates of course. Now I walk back until I see in Closest Locations a 50m distance to this point and add these coordinates to the location. If I now erase the first point by unselecting Custom Radius and clicking on the small X, the Location itself keeps it's coordinates so that I still can measure the second point on the opposite side in the same way ! Don't Save before measuring the second point, otherwise the deleted point won't show up in the Closest Location List any more.

    To erase a point, there must be at least two points in a location. So if you made a mistake and want to change a point to a different coordinate, you first have to create the new point and then you are able to erase the first wrong one.

    Locations can't be erased (yet?) but there's a workaround. You can open the exported file with the windows editor or, much better with Notepad++ which is free of charge. As you can see, this is very structured:

    Every Location ist started and finished with </PointOfInterest>. If I erase the marked section, the London Paddington location is erased in the app after I save this file and import it. Of course you must obey the Golden Rule: Always make a backup of the file before editing something!

    Of course you can also edit all values that you normally edit in the app.

    Question for the author: Is it possible to add ready-made presets for the arrangement of data displayed on the screen? Maybe I'm stupid, but I still haven't managed to get the display to appear in the upper right corner. Why not add pre-made center/corner locations + fine-tuning options for those who need custom locations?

    You can delete, the button might need a better position though...

    Also points and location can have a collored ribbon in you're in range of the point

    This should do it.. I honestly don't think it could by much simplier then horizontal - right, vertical - top. Just don't forget to click apply below ;)
