You were able to use SD card for point/track database before?? Rooted device? Android 4.1 or 4.2?
Otherwise Locus Map is unable to write into database placed on SD card!

this was on a Android 5.1 device. update 3.32.2 send, no more startup errors anymore!

thank you!

Hmm even with the latest version? And checkbox at the bottom with "Don't ask" make no difference, you always see the exactly same screen?

I couldn't use my locus database on the sdcard anymore, had to switch to the internal (I'm guessing at this point) before I could select "do not ask again".

I'm guessing it could be related to startup from sdcard ?

Hello,
does this happen also with update 3.32.1 (published maybe two hours ago)?

yes in most recent also. I unmounted my sdcard and rebooted a few times to see if it was a sdcard issue. I'll try again this evening.

I haven't changed the location of locus or it's directories since several updates ago. now, locus complains my filesystem is read only. the only way to fix this is to go into device administrators section and disallow then allow locus. then it will start normally.

this only started happening with the last two updates.

happens anytime I try to export a long track. this track is created from a LOT of tracks that were merged into one (using locus merge function) , ending with 7,500+ miles of tracks to display.

it will crash /hang when trying to display that merged track, or exporting. I can see the statistics, but that is all.

any hints/help ?

(the reason for merging all these tracks is because I'm trying to find a away report ALL of my tracks to get a running total)

I have a large database (100+mb) of tracks and waypoints. I would love to be able to export ALL of them, from all the sub directories, into similarly named directories. there are times I want to wipe out the database and start new, but expiring all the tracks would be very time consuming.

ohgood, thanks, you are correct with tap on map. Will be fixed in next version.
What you mean by left/right panning? When you "tap and hold" on the map, you are not able to switch to right "statistics" tab?

thanks Menion. no, the statistics still work when swiped left/right to access those panels. it's the small map preview in the screenshot that no longer moves around as it used to. previously it would move left/right and I think up/down when it was dragged. now, no movement happens.

when viewing a track information, touching the map preview at the top no longer allowed for left/right panning, nor does touching it once return to the main map with track centered as it used to.





this is locus 3.31.0

hey guys, you really need to rethink the "older versions" thing !   currently the GPS issues are bad, accuracy is gone, turning on/off GPS in locus settings does nothing to the actual GPS usage, and I'm seeing BIG battery drains in both the recent beta and pro versions.

I'm going to have to tell people that "updating is bad, don't do it right now" and that never sounds good. :-(

the Duraforce (4.5"), Duraforce xd (5.7") and Duraforce pro have been very good for me.

here are two mounts I've used on motorcycles doing hard Enduro , that work very very well.

and one that is even better

the Duraforce do not need cases.

The Duraforce reviews on Amazon don't look too good. What's the screen visibility like on sunny days?

It's about average as far as smartphones go. It's NOT a transflective display, so I won't be screaming with high visibility, but I use it on my bicycle and motorcycle in full sunlight without issue. It's tough enough to handle hugging trees several times each weekend on enduro mode, and dropped into a fire (twice!), along with some creek skipping. :-)

thank you @menion, geotagged photos layer is working nicely again now :-)

I was just prepping a tutorial for how to use it and realized it had issues, so I posted here. Now to get started on that youtube tutorial again :-)

I've added both internal and external dcim directories to locus , but no images are showing when I enable the photo option in layers.

Is it broken in 3.29.1 ?

Thank you !

This is while planning more does, not moving. The buttons touch areas are so small and the border area touch for "more info" surrounds it, so it usually registers a press as "more info" instead of just "view"

using the points near me button, the "turn on eyeball" area of touch is so small that I often instead select the "show info" pane.

could you increase the area of the "turn on eyeball" so that turning on several waypoints was an easier process, and fewer accidental options would happen?
