Troubles & Questions / Re: Enlarge or reduce all maps
Last post by Menion - Today at 09:40:05Hi Gerhard,
downscaling maps highly increases battery consumption and slows map rendering so it is not possible. What is the problem with base 100% resolution? Isn't a solution to reduce texts only (available in the settings)?
The best solution will probably be customizing the used map theme and reducing the sizes of items that bother you.

Last post by freischneider - Today at 09:36:28Grundsätzlich geht das im Routenplaner. Während der Navigation einen Punkt auf der Karte wählen (ich glaube lang klicken) und unten das Sechseck auswählen. Damit kann man seine Route schnell ändern. Mache ich wenn ich ungeplant Hunger bekomme. Suche mir im Nahbereich ein Restaurant und plane um.

Last post by Menion - Today at 09:33:46Hmm, one alternative solution ...
Open the app > main menu > All features > Tools > Quick bookmark.
Here tap on "+" and choose "Add new".
As a URL template define whatever will work for you, but you should start with "geo:0,0?q={mapLat},{mapLon}(text)".
Target application at the bottom, choose your Garmin app, it should be available. If not, it should work even without it. Give it a try.

Troubles & Questions / Re: Higher memory usage (possi...
Last post by Menion - Today at 09:22:01Hmm, consumed memory itself is not a problem. The problem is if this slows down your system and the app.
Is this still happen to you? And still even only during common usage as moving an OAM (TOTM theme) map and nothing special. No recording, no navigation, live tracking, etc?
I made many 3-hour tests with various parameters and even basic movement of the map in zoom level 16 cased no problems. Maybe I should try also OAM maps and this specified theme ...

you still have some problems with installation .. sorry, but nothing has changed in the way how I generate apk files. No idea, sorry ...
Impossible to hide an empty bottom panel in the route planner > yes, it is an intent.
Crash when going online/offline > I think I've got it. You have edited one shared track and a moment later deleted it (probably). The app still tries to work with edited shared track, but it has already been deleted. I'll publish the fixed Beta tomorrow.

full-screen > do not use it, if it does not work. It is a hacky unreliable system. That's why it was removed and will not come back. Thanks for understanding.

Last post by Menion - Today at 08:47:29Hi,
it should be most probably affected by the "True bearing" settings. Check the app's Settings > GPS & sensors > Use true bearing and disable this option in case, you want to get identical results to your physical compass.

Troubles & Questions / Re: Hiding map bounds box
Last post by Jakice - Today at 00:44:30There are no borders on the maps, they are generated from map tiles and are in a Rmap database.

Das kommt dem was ich möchte schon sehr nahe. Kurze Frage: wie setzt man einen Shaping-oder Via-Punkt? Geht das in der Locus-App? Einfach einen Punkt in die Route setzen oder anders?
Grüße von Tobias

Troubles & Questions / Re: Hiding map bounds box
Last post by michaelbechtold - Yesterday at 17:21:17I just tested with a Discovery_Walking_Guides map and can tell you that you can be lucky with your view.
Above map has a solid white border, all legends - like a scan of a paper map. Which definitely is not created by Locus, but rather integral part of that map itself.
Can you test your case by displaying one of your maps exclusively, alone (i.e. no overlay mechanics of any kind) and check how it looks like at its border.
If there is such border like in your screenshot, then it would smell like my experience with DWG maps - only "nicer" ...
