@oscarcambrils better to create a suggestion @ https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/add

or... slope could be the coloring for the route outline (along sides), with transparent middle so that style of road is still visible/ not obscured?

LM4 route planner - you can't drag down (collapse) the bottom panel of route planner before the 1st navigation point is created - see my taps - the panel pops back up - intended? I don't need to see "Select Start" & "Select Destination".

in the previous Beta was also highly reduced battery consumption during track recording when the screen was on

@Menion - quite interesting - in my battery measurements (for your interest) I now record actual current (mA) using Tasker rather than just battery % (which was quite inaccurate if just a short period). In the following graph I generally find with all other processes killed (as much as possible) the standby current 5..10mA, and with LM4 track recording, screen off 45..60mA.

With the last beta I had mentioned I had to uninstall 4.23.1 before I could install 4.23.1.1. With the latest beta there is no option to install/ upgrade at all, just "Launch" weird. Fortunately I can retain data/ turn off LM4 device admin/ uninstall/ install.

confirmed fixed
thanks @janaton & @menion

hmm, I'll try to push it a little ...

@Menion - most saved tracks tested show elevation correctly in the Web Planner; my earlier post had example that is not working.

noted in last post here too - https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/30343-another-silly-gradient-track-glitch

maybe try the package installer (if this is due to permissions) or redownload package?

thanks T-mo. I should have mentioned I had used the package installer first. Sorry for any confusion. APK is 55,678,161 bytes. I downloaded another - same size. I can only assume some weird Samsung/ Android 14 security issue? I uninstalled LM4.23.1 then was able to install 4.23.1.1 ;-)

4.23.1: Backup manager > Manual backup > all points & tracks: all OK except "zzccm, code: 10600":

I have a new Android 14 phone. I have 4.23.1 installed but seem to be having trouble installing the 4.23.1.1 beta. I have Developer options enabled, although now (FYI) for 14+ the setting for Install unknown apps has been moved to Settings > Security & privacy > More security settings, and is enabled on a per-app basis, in my case Solid Explorer. When I tap on the Install button there is a very quick "Staging" progress bar, then the dialog with Update button is displayed (see screen cap below). After tapping Update there is a quick return to the Solid Explorer App Viewer main screen whereas with older Android versions the "installing" screen stayed on for a few minutes. I'm assuming the 53.1MB package is not corrupt. Any suggestions please?

Wrong topic I know, sorry, but charts below (time vs. battery current milliamps each 2 minutes) comparing Locus with just track recording vs. Locus with navigation and track recording. Just thought it was interesting & confirms for battery misers when riding all day why avoiding navigation mode could wring out the life of the battery before it goes flat. Ignore the -250mA spike on the 1st chart - was when camera used, not just Locus running. I have found/ discovered recently that measuring/ logging current with Tasker rather than %level is a better indication of energy usage. At 10:45 in 2nd chart, navigation stopped and was then just track recording.

@menion- I note in v4.23.1 release notes "reduced app refresh in the background when not active" - charts below are for 4.23.0 so would be interesting now to see whether this affects the battery current. Did you make this change to save battery energy?

see more measurements in post https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=8855.msg75438#msg75438

@Andrew Heard
what map and theme do you use?
which zoom range?
with map rotation?

- map shading?
- dynamic elevation?

• 2021-11-28 OpenAndroMaps Australia-Tasmania
• 200m (on ruler) (whatever ZL that is I don't generally view)
• map rotation:on
• track recording:on
• navigation:off
• map shading:off
• dynamic elevation:off
• display is normally off (99.99% of recording time)

No obvious memory leak in 4.23.0 here.

• Initial memory 153 MB
• 15m later 154 MB
• 7h later 211 MB (after tracking recording)

Map/theme display, anyone?

@Tapio - working OK for me.
