Hi everyone,

I always use the distance rings that are drawn around the center of the map. For some maps these rings can be a bit too thick and distract from the map content.

Is there a way to change the style of the rings? At the moment these rings are shown as dashed double lines.

I would like to show only one line per ring and reduce the thickness. Is this possible?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,

I'm trying to include geological layers provided by the GNS Science institution into Locus. The data can be used under creative commons (CC-BY 3.0).

Basic information about the provided data is given here: http://www.gns.cri.nz/Home/Our-Science/Earth-Science/Regional-Geology/Geological-Maps/1-250-000-Geological-Map-of-New-Zealand-QMAP/Digital-Data-and-Downloads

The front-end of the WMS server is found here: http://maps.gns.cri.nz/geology/web/

If I click on "WMS 1.3.0" capabilities (I do this in a standard browser) I get this XML-file: http://maps.gns.cri.nz/geology/ows?service=wms&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities

Here I can see the address http://maps.gns.cri.nz:80/geology/ows?SERVICE=WMS&

When I add this adress as a new WMS server to Locus, I can access the list of provided layers and can select a particular layer.

Unfortunately when I switch back to the main screen of Locus, instead of the actual layer data I only get the message "unbekanntes Problem" (i.e. "unknown problem") as overlay on the base map.

To me the first steps look quite promising since I can see the information about the provided layers. Am I missing something which prevents the successful integration of the layer data?

Thanks & best regards!

Hi all,

I'm using Locus Pro on two devices: A Google Nexus One and a Acer Iconia A211 tablet. On both I have installed the latest updates of Locus.

On the phone I can activate "Heading line", essentially a line or vector that indicates the current direction of movement.

Unfortunately I cannot activate this extremely useful feature within Locus installed on the Tablet. The option is shown in the settings but is shown in grey, apparently this indicates that the option is not available. I can touch this settings while trying to activate it but nothing happens.
In contrast to the phone the tablet has no compass sensor. But I think the movement indicator should not have anything to do with the orientation of the device (compass).

Can someone help me here? I would really like to use this feature and have no idea why this should not be possible on the tablet. If this is a bug I would be really, really happy for a quick fix as I'm on a trip right now and like to use the aforementioned feature.

Best regards!

Hi,

first of all, the app is the most usable and magnificent work when it comes to mobile map work!

Recently, I created some offline maps from a nautical online map source. The data contains rather schematic data (isolines for water-depths, symbols, numbers etc.). Besides the schematic maps, I created some offline maps that contain satellite images of shallow water regions. I'm using both at the same time with the overlay feature which gives a great experience of having the nautical information and the raw images from the seabed shown simultaneously.

My satellite-image map has more detail (layers) than my nautical map. Unfortunately, when I zoom in further than the most detailed layer of the nautical map, this map becomes greyed out out and I only see the other map.

The currently build in zoom-lock does not solve my problem as this really locks me to a certain layer. I would like to switch between layers while zooming (the standard behavior) but allow the enlargement of the most detailed layer rather than fading the map to grey.

My question is if it is possible, to allow further zoom for the most detailed layer of a map? Of course, this will not give more detail and result in a pixelated view, but for my use it would be very helpful.

Best regards!
