Devices / Re: Locus running on Ticwris Max?
March 21, 2022, 11:31:29
Hello,
I do not want to accuse anyone, but only to make a consideration:
I am perplexed when I see devices of this type when almost all of us have an old smartphone in some drawer that no longer use and could be used for these experiments. We can make our contribution to the environment by reusing what we no longer use instead of buying objects that tomorrow will be technological waste to be disposed of.
The toy seems to me too big to be used on the wrist, too small (in my opinion) to be used as a navigator.

Put the Sd into a card reader of a pc and connect the phone with the usb cable.
Than transfer the maps file from the Sd to the phone.
No card reader? Use 2 usb cable for the new and old phone.

The new LoSatMaps are brilliant in our area - thank you Locus!
Today i will hike with the alpine club, I'm sure if i show them the satellite view you will have several downloads.
Great improvement

Nice, but I wish Satmap was downloadable...  :)
Interesting Satmap, what is it? Does not seem to be Google/Bing/Esri - EDIT ah, HERE maps
In the description I found "Map Tiles @2022 Here, Maxar, EuroGeographics"

@Menion
Is it possible to know the date of the aerial shot?
I am using them as a locus map overlay on my very old test cell phone and they work beautifully.
As Tapio said, it would not hurt to have the ability to download satellite images locally for limited areas of interest such as lidar files, although I understand that the data to be exchanged in this case is very consistent.
Having the images locally, on our mobile phones, would lighten the data exchange and benefit your servers.

Did you use stop or pause? With pause I have no issue with the connection with my Garmin FR235 for heart rate monitor.
Paused locus,
paused or stopped (both tested) the garmin
restart of the garmin
restart of locus, the heart rate is still there.
But in my case I use the ant connection.

Then they should submit a proposal so others can vote for it.
Here is the place to do it: https://help.locusmap.eu/
Select the web planner as an option.

Here are all the suggestions for the web planner:

Thank you, so I found a similar idea I voted too with 5 votes.

I think there are a lot of things in Locus world used by 1% of the users, so if this is a 5% in your opinion, it's at a very good level.
I never wrote this is a priority task, just an idea for improving the functions of web planner.
And remember, not all the users are "nerds" like in the locusmap forum, there is someone out there that do not use 2 devices at the same time.
And it is not said that when you go out in a group others use their smartphones for GPS navigation, providing them with a paper map is always useful even for educational purposes only.

Hello,
as an old hiker I know it's not always good to rely solely on electronic devices. It is often good to have a paper map and a compass. Not only that, sometimes it is nice to be able to print the path you want to do to show it to the other participants also because not everyone is able to use electronic devices. It would be nice to be able to print from the planner: maps, statistical data, points, altimetry with adequate formatting, certainly not the one offered by the browser.

Hello,
isn't it enough for you to just be able to tap the eye icon to disable lower levels?

No, almost every time I switch from other App to LOCUS, all levels are displayed!
I don't know why, it seems that LOCUS cannot effectively control.
If you are interested, you should find the same situation after you import it.

Many thanks.
There are several things that don't work as well as they should with kml. For example, even if I disable the visibility, the objects remain on the map. Sometimes I have to close and reopen locus to get rid of objects. I noticed that with your earthquake file, as with others that I haven't used for a while, for weather or statshunter.

Ugh, I need to look again. Just some related thoughts I hope:

a) I didn't only have Locus GPX in mind. Some other apps were in use as well, they create different xml formats. Replace with NULL? Do I leave an ugly empty line? May need to look at it again.
b) time xml tag may be stretched over multiple lines.
c) I think with the exclusion of the bracket I prevented greedy matching. Keep in mind Regex matches greedy. a.*b matches until the last "b": 1234abcdgebabbbgggchbdkj - i.e. in GPX it would match from first <time> until the last </time> it can find. This would effectively delete most of the gpx - this is also because sed -z in a way flattens the whole file to one line (otherwise, in the default line-by-line style of sed, regex wouldn't work for xml tag structures IMO)
d) As for the tab I probably was just lazy to look into docs, wasn't sure about it being included in \s, thanks for the info
a) I understand, I associate gpx with locus without thinking that there are other apps  :D
Replace with NULL? sed -i -z 's;[\s\t]*<time>[^<]*</time>[^<]*;;g' sed 's for substitution; regexp for search; text to replace with; g greedy operator' the null in this case is between ;;
b) do you have an example?
c) so you use this method because of the -z parameter, this part is also not clear to me, do you have a file example for which the -z parameter is needed?
Never using the -z parameter makes it harder for me to interpret your regexp, do you have an example file that made it necessary for you to use it?
d) Sometimes being a beginner like me is an advantage because without documentation you do nothing  ;D

Thanks for the comprehensive answers, you are very kind as always

Quote from: Andrew Heard on November 14, 2021, 22:01:57I see the main processing is done via the line
sed -i -z 's;[\s\t]*<time>[^<]*</time>[^<]*;;g'
Thx. Yeah, even if you're good at regex, sed is always tricky; it's especially the CRLF treatment of it, so I was happy about the -z option. Took me a while. The greedy matching of regex and multiple occurences of the same tags is also a thing always...
Just wanted to create a basic task. GPX files sometimes differ, e.g. some apps create a more flat output with nested xml tags and one trkpt per line...

Your next posting will be #1000 :)
Hello tapio,
I am recently trying to improve my knowledge of regexp and I would like to understand a couple of things about your method.
You have chosen to replace the text with null instead of deleting the row, for what reason?
The search for the entire line containing the time tag would be done with:
^ \ s * <time. * / time> $
while you use
[\ s \ t] * <time> [^ <] * </time> [^ <] *
\ s should ensure that both spaces and tabs are captured
then I see that you wanted to exclude any internal and external tags with [^ <], but I have not found any gpx exported from locus with these characteristics.
Mine is not a criticism, I'm just trying to understand why you made these choices out of pure curiosity and desire to learn.

Hi,
I found in the locus/data/sensors folder more than 100 small files that contain a single line of text like this:
"SENSORS, VERSION 1.0, 2021-12-08T18: 06: 57.508Z, Central European Standard Time (2.0h)"
they take up little space and are not a big deal, but it seems strange to me.

Contour lines are built into maps, do you need Locus to calculate them for maps that don't have them?
Shading is an added touch that makes maps more readable, but if your intent is to have contour lines choose a map that contains them.

@lor74cas, @Andrew Heard thank's a lot for the clarification. Now I totally understand and believe I have a good news for you. I am just working on extension of elevation chart. After that you should have distance / time toggle for x axis.
The new version does what I need good job !
Thank you
