Title: "Problem with Map adding"
Post by: air7 on March 02, 2013, 12:40:55

Hi Menion,
it has been a long time... ;-)
I am still a heavy user of your awesome product (for dirt bike offroad navigation) and love it!
It is one of the top 5 apps on my phone ;-)

Now I have a little problem: after one of the recent updates I get the following error message every time I launch the app: "Problem with Map adding" see screenshot.

Any ideas?
Thank you in advance, best regards, Volker

hmm interesting. Mainly it's quite mystery for me, why locus tests you some maps from Locus/mapsOnline directory.

May you please check your menu > maps > tab Personal, top button "Add directory" and if this dialog is line with Locus/mapsOnline directory? If so, please delete it

@menion,

is it possible, that the database update, I think there was one in the past, was not made? Or do all newer releases of Locus make an update automaticly if it wasn´t made before?

ah ok, maybe I missunderstood. But some versions of Locus ago, there was a redesgin I think. Like: please wait, Locus will now backup your ... generate... or similar (I found a zip file "before conversion..."). Seems it was something else :)

yes this happen, but it was really related only to points and tracks, not to maps. Anyway here it will be different problem, but never saw it before :). I think that just by any accident, cached maps from mapsOnline are added to "Personal" maps and this may cause some troubles

try to tap on line with path to mapsOnline directory and in popup window choose "Delete". After that close Locus, wait a while (5 secs) and then start it again

I have exactly the same problem as "air7" described but I can't follow the solution from "menion" because I can't find any "Add directory"-button under "Personal". What am I missing?

Hi Bengt, the button is in the menu in the upper right corner > Add maps > Add new file/directory
