Re: [Loadstone] definition of turning circle
[quoted lines by Shawn Kirkpatrick on 2017/08/24 at 14:07 -0700] >circles? I think those are where cars go around until they can turn >on to the street they want. A turning circle is a widened round area at the end of a dead-end road that one can easily turn around within. A round-about is a full circle ring road, i.e. there's a non-road center, that's used instead of a traffic light. All of the roads for the intersection enter/leave the outer edge of the ring road. You enter the round-about and then turn in the direction that's the same as the side of the roead you're on - so to the right in North America, to the left in the UK, etc - such that you aren't crossing any traffic within the round-about. You then continue around the round-about until you get to the road you want to be on, and turn onto it. If you're just going to the next road then you stay in the outer lane whereas if you're going further than the next road then you drive in one of the inner lanes. A round-about lets you drive through a busy intersection without stopping. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | http://Mielke.cc/ Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | http://Mielke.cc/bible/ EMail: d...@mielke.cc | Canada K2A 1H7 | The Bible is the very Word of God. ___ Loadstone mailing list Loadstone@loadstone-gps.com http://lists.loadstone-gps.com/listinfo/loadstone
Re: [Loadstone] definition of turning circle
I can't say for sure, maybe these are round abouts or traffic circles? I think those are where cars go around until they can turn on to the street they want. Maybe they're something completely different. The website http://www.openstreetmap.org has wiki entries for all these point tags that can show up. There are around 1200 of these tags and I couldn't begin to tell you the definition of some of them. Loadstone includes these for completeness assuming someone, somewhere, knows what they are.

Re: [Loadstone] Feature Suggestion
This setting is actually part of the iOS location framework and can be a bit confusing. Some of the functions in this framework can wake an app up even if it's been killed with the app switcher. I've never been a fan of apps that kind of sort of keep running even after being killed so Loadstone doesn't use any of these functions. When Loadstone is running it's running, using the locations system to the best of it's abilities. When you kill Loadstone with the task switcher it's dead, not running at all. This is why we only need the two location settings, never, which really doesn't make much sence, and always, since that's what you'd want when Loadstone is running. Loadstone will of course keep running if it's switched to the background. Basically, if Loadstone is in the list of apps in the app switcher it's running, if it's not there then it's completely stopped.

Quite a few other programs allow you to set locations to when you are using the app. Are there any plans to add this option? Doing so is not critical in my opinion.
