hmm yes, I currently search for DB files only in Locus/mapsVector directory. Question is whether different directory is needed. These databases will be closely tight to vector maps. Will be downloaded from store ... anyway I'll think about it ...Thanks, restricted space on internal sd is a problem for many users and we already have the additional folder setting for maps...
Select more POI's ... it's a question. When poi db has same name as vector map, then it's loaded automatically, so almost all visible points on map should be active! (clickable).Hm, I have Germany.map and Germany.poi.db. No POI from the poi.db is visible.
Germany.osm.map or just .map? rename to osm.map ...Ah, that is the trick!
when I think about it, if you have map in external storage together with poi.db file, it should work. Points will just not be visible in list of POI databases, but probably will be automatically loaded. You may test it on added Canarian island maps ;)Thanks for the Canaries POIs!
POI DB matching to the current map the default?good point - but when is the right moment for this action?

@chrabros: point of this system is to give quickly access to interesting points around you. So there is no need for some complex sorting etc ... if you need to display specific points at certain zoom level, you may in the end, create your own theme for vector maps
And sorry no, I'll not use "negative filter". I'll gladly improve and add missing and interesting tags into databases, but there is so much incorrect values, bugs, nonsenses, that it will really slow down database also for people that do not care for these values. So I want to keep list of tags that will be included in these databases.
@michael: yes Germany is a problem. With more then 1.500.000 points, every request is slow. But agree that this is way too much. Help here is separating of Germany into specific areas. Anyway this is still a beta, so I hope, we'll speed up at least little bit
and south africa is in preparation

POI are gone in the newest version.??right.
If you anyway added shortcut button to this feature to any panel, it will be visible also in public version.[attachment=0:3bsw3frs]Screenshot_2013-08-05-23-59-11.png[/attachment:3bsw3frs]
Hi,
unfortunately it's not simply possible now, because library that generate these files is currently not working :). Anyway April should be by our plan, month of Offline POI, so ...
... then go into Locus > menu > more > Points of interest and check if you may see Norway POI's (important here is to download missing library - it's just one time event but without this, DB will not work).Which lbrary?
hmm interesting, issue on my side. Should be only in testing versions. Sorry ... will be fixed in next version ;)Hi Menion, did you alredy "fix" it in pro 2.19.1?
- extract file and place it right to the same place as you vector map. If your file will have exactly same name, it will be used automatically together with vector map. So for example for austria, you should have in the end
point is now, that you have to have same name of DB POI file as is map you use and this file has to be in same directory. So also on your card.
how often you switch these vector maps?In my everyday usage, once every few weeks, but during vacation, much more often - several times a day is not unusual, as joeloc wrote July 25, 2013, 13:12:10 during touring the Alps, even day trips with three countries are quite common, so during trip preparation (which trip looks nice? where could be go?...) I'm switching countries dozens of times per hour.
...database is named austria.db.poi which has to be austria.poi.dbHi René
I have installed SQLite Manager, but I cannot find how to start it. What should I do?start SQLite Manager and open your poidb
In Firefox 3, Songbird and Flock, you will find a menuitem called "SQLite Manager" under the Tools menu. Clicking it will start the manager. In Firefox 4, if the menu bar is not hidden, you can still access SQLite Manager from the Tools menu as described above. However, if the menu bar is hidden, SQLite Manager can be accessed from the Web Developer menu under the Firefox menu on top left. You can also add an icon for SQLite Manager to your toolbar by customizing it.
sorry druki, due to some issues it's not possible now...
place the Icon in BETA on right side panel, after that you are able to use it in PROsorry druki, due to some issues it's not possible now...
I just noticed this and that poi are working in latest beta! is it possible to make pro version work with them?
Warninghave you renamed db-file?
New generated data has invalid naming. So it you'll use these files in Locus version 3.1.3.9 and below, change ending of files from *.osm.db to *.poi.db . In next version, both namings will work. Sorry for troubles.
place the Icon in BETA on right side panel, after that you are able to use it in PROThe Icon is only in BETA !!
have you renamed db-file?Yes I did.

OK where can I find the beta?read first post

BETA version 3.1.3.10 RC1
Probably latest version before release (planned on 18/19. 8.), so last chance for your feedback ;).
Please keep in mind two things:
1. some online maps will be available at Locus Store (are removed from list of maps), but they are not yet in Store
2. If anyone use Offline POI Db, existing databases won't work, because I had to change a structure of database a little bit. New data are generating.
1) icons for points are not needed I think. When you display vector map and you also have required offline Db POI file in same folder, you should see points on map (defined by current selected vector theme!!) as active! So points that were previously only "drawn" on map are now clickable and has same icon as is defined in theme!This is good.
Only in case, you search in list of points and you then want to display these points on map, then are used internal icons. Mainly to distinguish these "found" points from points that are directly in vector map. And you want these "found" points to have some defined icons, right?Searching is a big plus, but personally I think it would improve the UI to be able to match the style of these icons to the ones already being used.
2. Integrations - I was thinking about it, butWould it all have to load even if you implement it as a separate tab? Again, speaking personally, I found the different routes into the screens confusing and counterintuititive.
a) I have no idea, how it should looks like. Only solution should be as another tab I think ...
b) loading of database structure take some time. And everytime you go to "Data manager" even just to enable one point, whole base structure will be loading. Because of this, I think it should be better (faster, more efficient) to keep these screens separate.
Yes I know this trick. But I would like to use a final released version. :)

Try to load this backup (only setting)
Be careful and backup your Locus first

I downloaded a fresh Locus map for England from the Locus Store, which also downloaded and installed the POI database for England. That worked fine.
Another question: how can I disable displaying all the stuff from the poi.db? Even if the eye-symbol shows "0" all the icons are still on map. Or I'm wrong?Same problem here 8)
there is currently no other way to download these data except vector maps in Locus store. And because they are quite connect to vector map, they won't be distributed separately.
Download the map from the Locus Store (in the app). That will download the poi database at the same time.I am confused :-[
It is required to purchase and download new maps (update)thanks, i have read it nowhere, now it is clear ;)
