Hello,
Since the latest Locus Map update, I have been experiencing an issue with the search function.
When I tap the search button in the main menu, the search source selection menu briefly appears, but it immediately closes and the app automatically switches to "All points". As a result, I can no longer search for addresses or places as I could before.
The problem started immediately after updating the app.
already tried :
restarting the app and my phone
Clearing cache
Is this a known bug? Is there a fix or workaround that does not require resetting all my preferences?
Thank you for your help.
That's right. Once you've selected 'Other POIs' (or another option) in the search, you get the behaviour you described and you can no longer switch back to the normal global search.
As a workaround, I restored my last backup (which was created before I changed the search option) and simply selected the "Settings" option.
The global search is now working again, but until this bug is fixed, I won't select any other search option, otherwise the problem will recur.
This might be the same error that was reported to the helpdesk. https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/40802-error-when-searching-other-poi
Yes it is, sorry for this.
Fix is already in the recent stable Beta version, so feel free to update it (link to the APK file in my signature).
This does indeed look like a bug introduced by the latest update, especially since the issue appeared immediately afterward.
I would recommend reporting it to the developers with your Locus Map version, and meanwhile trying the search directly from the map if that option still works.
