Done!

Hi,

I have the latest Locus Map Pro version 3.49.1 and was wondering when/if the dark mode will be available?

(Sorry if this is a repeat topic: I hijacked: https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=7166.0 to ask the same question as it seemed related)

Thanks,

Hi,

I have a Samsung A41 with Android 10 (October 2020 patch level) and Locus Pro 3.39.1 installed.
When I select "POI Alert" and in the "NOTIFICATION" section I try to "Select Sound" then Locus seems to crash internally and the system app "SecSoundPicker" reports a crash. Locus takes me directly back to map screen after that and no sound is configured for the POI Alerts.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks for any help!

This is really interesting. The dark mode is not available in the Locus Map Pro version.

Aren't you using something special on your device? Something that tries to force dark mode for the apps that even does not support it?

Thanks for all the info and getting it working again for me!

I used a template with <cooPart> which was in providers.xml from version 1.somthing of Locus Map many many years ago

I have now changed it to:

   <provider id="10020" type="0" visible="true" required="true" background="-1">
      <name>Google</name>
      <mode>Map</mode>
      <url><![CDATA[http://mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=m&hl=en&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}]]></url>
      <zoomPart>{z}-8</zoomPart>
      <zoomMin>8</zoomMin>
      <zoomMax>26</zoomMax>
      <tileSize>256</tileSize>
      <countries>World</countries>
   </provider>

And now it works fine with both v3.37.2 and v3.38 onwards. Great! Thanks!

Just one question: why would the new setting in v3.38:
Maps -> Advanced features -> Optimize raster map resolution

have an affect on this map provider. It looks much better with Optimize raster map resolution disabled. I thought that this map provider simply provided tiles and they are not in raster format.

Hi,

I have been using custom maps for years with Locus Maps Pro with the same settings, but since v3.38 onwards I am getting "unknown problem" and no map shows on the screen. I have cleared the map cache and it does not help. My custom maps defined in providers.xml worked fine right up until v3.37.2, and I have not changed anything:

   <provider id="10020" type="0" visible="true" required="true" background="-1">
      <name>Google</name>
      <mode>Map</mode>
      <url><![CDATA[http://mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=m&hl=en&{c}]]></url>
      <cooPart><![CDATA[x={x}&y={y}&z={z}]]></cooPart>
      <zoomPart>{z}-8</zoomPart>
      <zoomMin>8</zoomMin>
      <zoomMax>26</zoomMax>
      <tileSize>256</tileSize>
      <countries>World</countries>
   </provider>

If I roll back to version v3.37.2 it works again.
Thanks for any help!

Perfectly clear now. Many thanks for the explanation!

Hi,

The navigation "out of route" notification sound has the option to set "Text to speech" but I am not able to configure any text here.

A general test text can be set for "Text to speech" in the menu Language & units -> Text-to-speech -> Test phrase. Is this where I should be setting the text for the "out of route" notification sound? And does the general test text configured here apply for any other notification sounds?

It would seem more logical to put the option to configure the text under the navigation "out of route" menu.

Thanks,
KnightAzul

Hi,
Yes, that would explain it!
Just one more thing to fully understand, if during those 60 seconds a new GPS location is obtained, is the position acquired notification sound played when that new GPS location is obtained?
Thanks,
KnightAzul

I think I might be able to answer my own question!

It turns out that the "out of route" notification for navigation by default has exactly the same notification sound (1 beep) that I configured for the GPS position acquired notification sound. Therefore I could not tell the difference between the two events.

I have changed this now and hopefully all will be well!

Hi,

For me as it currently stands:
Description: Avoid roads with limited access (highways)

This is not an option that I have normally seen in navigators, usually there is an option like "avoid unpaved roads and roads with limited access", which is similar text but means something different, hence my confusion.

KnightAzul

Hi,

I have enabled both GPS position acquired (1 beep) and GPS lost (5 beeps) notification sounds in the GPS & sensors settings. But the GPS lost notification sound does not seem to be working as expected.

Sometimes I notice that once the GPS position has been acquired I get the GPS position acquired notification sound, then after some time, I hear the GPS position acquired notification sound again. However, inbetween I did not get the GPS lost notification sound. This does not happen all the time. On other occasions I do get the GPS lost notification sound.

Some possible explanations:

* The GPS position was lost, I didn't get the GPS position lost notification sound, and now I am getting the GPS position acquired notification sound. This would be a bug.

* The GPS position acquired notification sound depends on the accuracy of the GPS rather than the GPS position actually being lost. If the GPS accuracy falls below a threshold then the GPS is not registered as lost, and when the accuracy improves I get the GPS position acquired notification sound again

* There is a timer before triggering the GPS lost notification sound, and my GPS is reconnecting before that timer has expired

Thanks for any explanation!

Hi,
Thanks for the information. Perhaps as a suggestion to make it more clearer it could be?

Checkbox: Avoid highways
Description: Avoid roads which are restricted to motor vehicles only (highways)
