Navigation instructions (and TTS) in Czech again.

The truncated text issue is not *completely* solved. There's a village called Shillingford St George near Exeter that beats the system sometimes. But I can live with that.

And neither have I found any broken text with the new beta. Well done.
More details regarding the spoken Czech bug: I had App Language set to Default system, and that gave me all the dialogues in English, fine. I started navigating and Locus gave me directions in spoken Czech. When I minimised Locus, the text directions in the notifications were also in Czech. (OK, maybe it wasn't Czech but it looked like it, with your special characters.) When I checked the TTS setting, the TTS language was Czech (Czechia). That comes top of the list, which may be why it is preferred. My setting in Locus Pro is simply English and the app picks up my choice in Android settings of English (United Kingdom). In the beta it doesn't do that. I've been forced to choose English (United States), the only available English variant.
Neither, by the way, does Locus beta seem to pick up the Android system settings for speech rate (and possibly other settings). Locus now speaks directions very rapidly in an American accent.
There is one factor which may possibly be relevant: I'm away from home and working on mobile data not WiFi and Android is set to only download TTS data on WiFi.

The beta spoke to me in Czech (again)!
The reason appears to be that  the English option has disappeared in Locus both for system language and TTS, and been replaced by English US.
Google TTS knows I want UK English but Locus doesn't even offer the option.

"share" from which app? Just tried quite test from Google Maps and seems to work ok for me.

The app was Wild Guide to SW England...
But the behaviour was clearly different for beta and Pro, and clearly reproduceable.

Edit: When I try to share a location from Google maps to Locus beta, Locus crashes.

There seems to be a difference between Pro and beta when I share a location to the app and a point is already highlighted.
In beta a new dropped pin point appears, the centre of the map moves to it then immediately moves to a position near the previously highlighted point.
In Pro, the centre of the map always seems to move to the new point, which is what I would want.

Magnifying the text of offline maps seems to increase the likelihood of labels being truncated.  I usually do 150% where it's fairly noticeable, and at 200% it's quite noticeable.

The larger and hence longer the text, the more likely it is to cross a tile boundary, and so the more likely it is to be truncated.

New beta did not show summary of changes on first run. I missed that.

The download in the first post has been updated with a minor bugfix to properly display hiking nodes in countries where they are used.
In this version of the theme, dotted and dashed lines now scale properly for Mapsforge maps, as they always did for LoMaps, thanks to Locus implementing parts of Mapsforge v5.

A follow up comment: if the locale decimal separator is a comma, then the pull down selection "WGS (x°x.x')" in the screen grab really ought to reflect that also.

Graphhopper offline fails, as with previous beta.

Graphhopper offline works for me in Locus Pro but not in the latest beta. I get an orange toast. T: Problem with the service.

I found the layer transparency UX genuinely confusing. At 0% the layer is fully transparent (fine). The label "transparent" appears at the right hand end of the slider (bad), which made me think that the right hand end was the 100% transparent end of the slider.
The reverse is true regarding the label "opaque" appearing at the 0% end of the slider when the slider is at 100%.
Just put these labels at the appropriate end of the slider when they appear, please.

"Active items" - how can I make that item appear again? I turned it on in the options, loaded my tracks, points and Lomaps POI. Blue tab bottom left does not appear.

It only works with KML/KMZ files from the Map Items screen rather than tracks, points and Locus POIs. The tab doesn't appear if there are no active KML/KMZ items. Is that it?
