Everything around loading maps (online, personal mainly and also vector) has changed. You'll probably not see anything, but trust me, most of code has changed and there will be problems on places where all worked fine before. Anyway thanks to this, is possible to shade also ALL!!! personal maps
news list- added ability to shade ALL maps
- final integration of new ANT+ library (needs ANT Radio Service 4.1)
- added support for ANT+ temperature
- added support for Garmin IMG files (this is just a small bonus, don't expect big support here. I'm also not sure if this will be official feature)

- improvements and fixes in Satellite/Compass screen
- fixed problem with keyboard on OAuthLoginActivity
- fixed problem with pressure sensor automatic calibration
- fixed problems with auto-zoom

high contrast is very useful for the Defy
Hi Menion,
thanks for the new version :-)
The "added contrast (low high)" looks good, but I miss a medium contrast (if possible). The high contrast is to loud for me.
@tramp20,
why do you not let it disabled? For my Galaxy S2 the high contrast makes no sense and it seems to be the medium contrast you look for. But maybe for other phones... it´s not. For that I let it disabled at the S2, but for the Defy it´s a very nice feature.
Hello menion,
firstly thanks for new public version. it's again one small step for a man and a giant leap for Locus users :lol:
Good thing is that Locus slowly yields the big potential of offline elevation data (hopefully interactive 3D view will follow soon)
having two questions about the shading: firstly I would appreciate option to set shading layer strength (opacity), these seem fade in higher zoom levels
secondly could generating an relief as standalone overlay work also for raster maps?
I already requested this feature on Getsatisfaction //https://getsatisfaction.com/locus/topics/separate_relief_layer
A well rendered relief could make much size saving for these maps which are already downloaded with hardcoded relief. The question is impact on battery exhaustion.
And secondly offline vector POIs: could various kinds of POIS be on/off selectable to view? (for example if I do a trip by bike or hike I don't need to see nearby gas stations etc.)
One more suggestion to POIs loaded from /mapitems: would it be possible to assign an individual icon to POIs grouped in GPX file? The size for lower zoome already improved but I'd like to have it yet a bit bigger (4" display).
Reported in 2.13.X+:
Quote from: "tommi"Guiding issues:
- I used a track in reverse direction. The info graph is displayed from original start to end from left to right, so far ok. But the marker for the current position is running also from left to right => wrong, either graph or marker need to run from right to left.
Not fixed in 2.14.0.
hmm so seems that new version do not have any really serious problems. I'm quite glad for that. Few crashes are already reported, but together with some more problems, I'll fix it to some other version within a week ...
So main discussion about low/high contrast. Nice. I'm glad you find it useful. I miss high contrast at these sunny days, so it was small "for myself" made function :). Anyway I also do not understand why tramp needs "middle contrast". Just disable it and you have middle :)
@bucky: I have 3D still in mind, but I'm still sure that it take me quite a lot of time and I still see so much other interesting (and much more useful) topic to do ...
Shading is not currently possible to use for "Personal" maps. There is a problem that personal maps are loaded faster and in really different way then vector maps or online maps and I don't have there space and time, where I should apply rendering of shading. For this, I need to do some "lazy loading" of also raster maps to have there some free CPU time to render shading. This will anyway corrupt some auto-loading etc etc. Some developers problems I have to take care, so it will take some time.
And about new offline pois ... when you enable vector map, you should see points on map a little shaded and active, do you? These points are rendered from this offline database. Which points are displayed depend just on vector theme. So if you select theme where aren't gas stations, you'll not see gas stations ...
It's not clear to me where I can download the needed files for Shading in Belgium..
It's a whole new topic for me and searching doesn't give any clear results.
Any tips or links?
Like the new version, great work :-)

current method is simple ... create a new points in place you want a shading and fill altitude for this point ;)
Quote from: "menion"And about new offline pois ... Which points are displayed depend just on vector theme. So if you select theme where aren't gas stations, you'll not see gas stations ...
So, if the map and the poi file have the same name, so the the pois are displayed automatically, I am meant to get gas stations twice - once from the map & theme and once from the database?
Also [bug], the database poi symbols are not scaled when the vector map is scaled.
thanks menion, this works great!

@john: yes agree, they're displayed twice. I'll probably change it in the future. Anyway all problems and discussion about this system, should be in relevant topic here viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3267 (http://forum.locusmap.eu/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3267) . This topic is focused on current 2.14.0 version and future test version and this feature is really just an beta version that has to go a long way till it will be finally published. It's anyway already usable so I wanted to share with you this work ...
Hi,
I am afraid I have to report a little bug in version 2.14.0. When i open the new satellite / compass screen everything seems fine, until i change the tab (e.g. from compass to sat view). The sat screen is then displayed very small and not in the center. If necessary I can supply a screenshot, but maybe the bug is already known. The funny thing is that both screens work fine when i open them from the main screen, the display prolem only occurs when changing the tab.
So when i open the compass view everything is fine until i change into the sat tab. And when i open the sat tab everything is fine until i change into the compass tab.
Let me know if you want a screenshot or need more info about my device.
screenshot !
plz :D
Ok, here you go:
I removed the second part of the coordinates, so that is not part of the display bug.
With xperia pro, android 4.0.4, Locus 2.14.0 displaying of both tabs is OK. Same after changing tabs.
regards,
KaHeMu

is this happen to you everytime you switch tabs or just sometimes?
Hi. menion.
Please have a look attached a file which contains some suggestions related to the texts and translations for version 2.14.x. Thanks in advance.
I don't know what happened (perhaps an update on GC.com) or if it belongs here or in the GC addon thread. But I just solved a multicache (GC1C6P1), set the new coordinates as corrected coordinates, downloaded nearest caches in Locus, but the cache was downloaded without the corrected coordinates, it still appears in its original position. Opening the cache and choosing Update cache does not help. Deleting it and downloading only it (using Import GC according to GC code) does not help either.
Sometimes it is really hard to get know how the new features work. Where can I get explicite information on the following? I did't get it work with the wide scattered infos in different topics and answers... :.(
- Map shading integrated as full public feature and added support for shading also for all online maps!
After activating I don't see any differences.
- official announcment of offline POI database! Some hints here? : viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3267 (http://forum.locusmap.eu/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3267)
The POI DB file is placed in the vectormap directory and renamed. What now?
Hope someone can give some hints. thanks
for using offline poi database ... If description in topic is not clear for you, then leave this feature be. It's currently in real alpha/beta version so it's not ready for some mass usage
about shading - read first paragraph http://www.locusmap.eu/news-in-version-2-14-0/ (http://www.locusmap.eu/news-in-version-2-14-0/) , it should help
@mek: i'll try to simulate it, anyway do you have any older, some time ago already changed caches? If so, please try it on these older caches. If it will work, then it's problem probably on Geocaching.site, otherwise it's in Locus
@ta-ka: thanks, I'll check it
@menion the problem occurs every time I switch tabs. The position and size of the compass and the satellite overview are not always the same though.
Hi menion.
News about GPS/Compass-Tabs:
normally I don't use these tabs on tablet. But there is a strange behavior checking both on tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab 2,GT 5110, with Android 4.0.3:
The window with the tabs is at the right and the content of the tabs is sliding from left to right and v.v.

edit -> background info (https://getsatisfaction.com/locus/topics/hide_map_items_in_db_submenu)
I was sitting on this in the evening almost two hours and in the end I fell asleep on chair :). As with some other features - I agree the some better and faster system is needed, but here I don't like simple adding few buttons to this menu. Usually some time helps, so for now just this button, improvements later
@menion
Thank you for the reply to the suggestions of the texts/translations.
I, of course, agree with and respect your decision. :)
menion,
about the problem with updating cache coordinates, I tried the "Update cache" functionality in Locus on GC1C6P1 now again an it still does not work.
Then I tried the same with GC2F2D0, which already has updated coordinates in Locus (and its icon is marked with star) - its coordinates were not lost, they stayed corrected as they were. I deleted GC2F2D0 and downloaded it again using the Import GC functionality and it was correct, with corrected coordinates. Deleting GC1C6P1 an reimporting does not bring its corrected coordinates. Strange.
So I dug into the data that is downloaded from GC into Locus using Shark (and Wireshark) and I found the following difference:
For GC1C6P1, there are original AND corrected coordinates in the JSON, and for GC2F2D0 there are only corrected ones. I recall I mistakenly used the "Correct coordinates" feature for GC1C6P1 and entered the original coordinates, which then I reverted back by using Restore, and then entered the correct final coordinates - maybe that's why there are two of them in the output. Compare (output from Wireshark):
GC1C6P1:
"UserWaypoints":[{"CacheCode":"GC1C6P1","Description":"Coordinate Override","ID":3231097,"IsCorrectedCoordinate":false,"Latitude":49.16325,"Longitude":18.778467,"UTCDate":"/Date(1375635535977-0700)/","UserID":5884890},{"CacheCode":"GC1C6P1","Description":"Coordinate Override","ID":3237835,"IsCorrectedCoordinate":true,"Latitude":49.1543,"Longitude":18.811467,"UTCDate":"/Date(1375719794327-0700)/","UserID":5884890}]}],"PQCount":0,"CacheCodes":[],"CacheLimits":{"CachesLeft":5994,"CurrentCacheCount":6,"MaxCacheCount":6000}}
GC2F2D0:
"UserWaypoints":[{"CacheCode":"GC2F2D0","Description":"Coordinate Override","ID":2609483,"IsCorrectedCoordinate":true,"Latitude":49.173217,"Longitude":18.81005,"UTCDate":"/Date(1367657873907-0700)/","UserID":5884890}]}],"PQCount":0,"CacheCodes":[],"CacheLimits":{"CachesLeft":5993,"CurrentCacheCount":7,"MaxCacheCount":6000}}
It looks to me that Locus took the first "Coordinate override" regardless of its "IsCorrectedCoordinate" attribute being true or false.
Now I found another issue - I generated a pocket query for Zilina and near caches, imported this GPX into Locus and all my solved caches were at corrected coordinates, so far so good (including GC1C6P1). But they were not marked with star - and this is important because then in the field I don't know if the cache really is in that place or those are just the dummy coordinates. I know it worked OK not so long ago (a month?) so something must have gone wrong...
mek it's quite complicated to test it. Data you checked by Shark are received by Geocaching4Locus, and what in the end comes into Locus itself is absolutely different.
about problems with import from PQ files: I've changed coordinates to one cache, generated PQ and after import, cache is on correct coordinates (changed) and no star (as computed). But if I check generated PQ files, there is no hint that this cache is computed. I also do not remember that something like this existed before. So are you sure, it worked in this way?
When I solve a mystery cache then first I change coordinates in Locus. Cache is marked as computed. After that I correct coordinates at GC.
In Locus preference for importing PQ is set to leaving own data during import process.
Now the red star for computed/ corrected coordinates in Locus is always on.

KaHeMu

Quote from: "menion"But if I check generated PQ files, there is no hint that this cache is computed. I also do not remember that something like this existed before. So are you sure, it worked in this way?
Absolutely. I went caching to Ostrava a month ago and I made a pocket query with solved caches there, they all had the little star in the corner. I also looked at the gpx file I made today and yes, there is no hint about the coordinates being corrected. It came to my mind that perhaps I could compare the gpx I used a month ago with the one generated today but sadly I don't have it anymore :(
Now I think it could have something to do with recent site upgrade on GC.com, they f**ed up something I am afraid. I will try asking on their forums.
hmm when you went to ostrava, isn't there chance you had some data downloaded by any add-on? I should expect that cache with corrected coordinates should have in GPX file final waypoint with these coordinates, but nothing like this is there. So maybe that this is a problem. Cache has already fixed coordinates and waypoint is missing.
Sorry for corrected coordinates. When I wrote the stuff around this, there wasn't field IsCorrectedCoordinate. I will try to fix it ASAP. Today I'm returning back from vacation, so maybe at evening.

On GC.com forums (//http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=314235) they told me that the GPX files coming from PQs actually never contained any flag about corrected coordinates, so now I am confused. Perhaps I really just used the G4L addon but just don't remember that? Anyway, if that is true, I hope they implement this feature at some point...
Arcao: thanks for quick response and fix in advance ;)
fine, I also think that it never were there :). There is more then this, what is missing in exported GPX files, but for unknown reason, they do not update GPX files specification ... maybe for them just prefer using their API over GPX files ...
I don't know if you class this as a display bug, but on vector maps, short elements of dotted lines may disappear for certain angles at high zoom. For example, using a V-Scale theme to display OpenAndromaps Great Britain map, the short elements of power lines disappear on sections where the lines run close to 45 degrees. I know this is not a Locus built-in theme nor a Locus Store map, that's why I am slightly hesitant about flagging it here - but as far as I can see it is a display bug in Locus.

Edit: The points illustrated above are: N 52° 10.877' W 01° 00.129' and N 52° 10.574' W 00° 59.969'. A similar problem occurs with the Locus England map and Locus built-in Hiking & Cycling themes, which display major power lines, though I initially thought they did not.
In version 2.14.1 is added a new feature : "ability to turn on screen also........". What is it, or where can I set it for use?
menu > settings > global > control screen on/off ... very usable, you'll see ;)
I report on this version following bugs: long pressing zoom in/out buttons makes Locus crash with any kind of map
and
Screen turns off during work sometimes in random situation (I don't observe this behavior with other apps,)
I also see map shading inactive for zoom kevels 100% and above. Is this bug or intention? I'd like to have map shading for all zoom levels if possible.

Thanks and sorry. I didn't notice the discussion.
I have one more question about unit. Pressure unit of weather.
Is 'mBar' commonly used in the field of weather forecast in Europe?
In Japan, it was replaced with 'hPa' long time ago and 'mBar' is no longer used.
Of course they are mathematically the same.

Quote from: "menion"And what you mean by zoom levels 100% and above?
Yes that was it. What are the gestures for turning off/on screen? Maybe this feature would be more useful active only in map view, would you consider to turn it off inside menus and dialogs? I have encountered many unintentional screen offs while editing route description with onscreen keyboard)
Quote from: "menion"And what you mean by zoom levels 100% and above?
I am mistaken that's nothing to do with magnifier but map zoom layer. So for layers up to 15 shading is present, for layers 16+ it's off. Would the shading be possible also for layers 16 and above?

Hi, excuse me for asking (I am probably retarded), but where can I download these test versions? Latest would do. I can't find any download link.
Normally in this thread in first post. But actually there is no test version. These test versions are most published near to the next official release as "release candidates" and test versions for a short time.
Thank you for your reply. The reason I asked is that I'd like to test the offline POI database and it's supposed to work only with test/beta versions of Locus. In the thread
//http://forum.locusmap.eu/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3267
the following is written:
Quoteinstall latest locus test version from here viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3189#p21696 , at least 2.13.2.5, to make it work correctly
It is quite strange that the POI feature can be tested only in some short time intervals when new test version is released (even if it works in all of them). Is it possible to download at least the last testing version somewhere?
But menion has written, that he will publish test versions here, if the bugs are solved. So I think, we all have to wait. :wink:
ahh perfect, today was released new version of ANT+ library on Google Play, so expect new test version soon. I'll be working on it today and tonight, but working version will be probably tomorrow ... there is not too much news now, because I worked on some server stuff, but ... you'll see
uff don't kill me after test of new version :) Expect that there may be a problems on places where all were fine before (handling with maps)
but that's why these are test versions right? Enjoy

Tested, all ok.
The new one-finger zoom works really nice (double tap and then up or down). This is the kind of handling I wished also for the new zoom feature which can be started from the zoom buttons.
good to hear all works. There is really a lot of changes and fixes on background. Shading for personal maps was even more complicated then I thought. But now it works on completely all maps, on Rmap, MBT, Gemf, doesn't matter :)

It works very well without big problem. Here is what I've noticed.
- GPX version appears not only GPX but also KML, CSV, TCX, DXF.
- The question mark button on the right of the GPX version doesn't work.
- If both Pro and Test are installed, Enable/Disable Shading maps from Settings doesn't work on Test version. It only works on Pro and affect for both Pro and Test versions.
- Enable/Disable Shading maps by Quick switch works well for both Pro and Test independently.
- Shading itself works very nice for all online/personal/vector! Thanks!
Offline POIs not in this testing version?! Please bring it back, it's my favourite feature! :-*

@ta-ka: thanks for GPX testing .. missing info on question button is known for me, have to do it (write some difference between versions), but I completely miss version on others formats :). Anyway weird is that shading do not work for you. In this case, there is no way, how Free (testing) version may affect setting of Pro version. And GPS, hmm have to check it
@druki: sorry, I'm put it back to next version (sooner for you ;) )

Hi menion,
thank you for new testversion ;)
after short test i notice that there is a small bug while changing mapfolder.
After start, i can choose maps of online, personal or vector foldes, but it is not posible for me, if i had displayed a online or vectormap to display a personalmap :oops: i am only able to switch between online and vectormaps.
After restart for example is displayed a vectormap and i can select and
display a personal map one times, switching to vectormap, the same as before. :?:
i have two vectormaps in the same folder, "Germany.map" and "Freizeitkarte.map", both maps are displayed well in official locuspro,
but in this testversion the map of the Freizeitkarte is not displayed well, only something like hillshading.
Hillshading works well with a "peronal.sqlite" but not with a "personal.rmap" also a rastermap createt with Compegpsl
S3mini: can not start shading. It always goes back to deaktivated.

up to now I only used "locus" I am not a friend of Google.
I don't see an advantage of this feature: How to call menue, when this feature is activated? I like the Locus double click for right menue display much more. Additional you can use the hardware button to zoom in and out.
balloni confused you a little. Return control back to "Locus" style and forget on "Google". Even with Locus, just double tap on map with one finger. After second tap, hold finger on map! and just slide up or slide down with this finger while it's still on map
Hi menion,
thanks for the new version.
1. Shading with own maps (these are my favorites e.g. Outdoor Active) is very very slow.
2. The test version does not reuse the last own map zoom factor, it shows after a new start always zoom 11 or 12 instead of the last used 16.
one finger slide worked for me already with the former versions. Nothing new for me.
But S3mini: can not start shading. It always goes back to deaktivated.
Is there a special trick?
Hello silber1.
Quote from: "silber1"But S3mini: can not start shading. It always goes back to deaktivated.
Is there a special trick?
As I reported, this problem seems to happen only when both Test and Pro versions are installed. Workaround below works for me.
a) enable/disable Shading maps by using Quick switch, but not through the settings menu.
b) enable/disable Shading maps through the settings menu of Pro version. The setting in Pro version also takes effect to Test version.
tricky, now I can switch on and off, but I don't see a shading effect?
silber1, you need to manually download the hgt-files for the region you would like to have shading for, so that Locus has the elevation data needed for the calculation. You can download them from within locus by creating a temporary POI and then filling the altitude from the second TAB (advanced).
I hope this helps.

I made a tour with the test version. The orientation is not stable even while moving. In Locus Pro it's correct.
Tested with SGS2 and Note 2.
what you mean by orientation? you mean rotation of map by compass? Here depend on selected filter for orientation or if you use internal hardware compass of GPS for orientation. This is part that should work same in Test as in last release
Ok, the compass was switched to on. Maybe that was the problem. I'll try it tomorrow once again.
Can anyone please try to sort the recorded tracks by creation date and to sort them reverse? For me newest track is in both cases the last of 115.
Quote from: "jusc"Can anyone please try to sort the recorded tracks by creation date and to sort them reverse? For me newest track is in both cases the last of 115.
Yep, can confirm sorting is working properly in latest Proversion but not in current Testversion.
Quote from: "jusc"Ok, the compass was switched to on. Maybe that was the problem. I'll try it tomorrow once again.
The rotation problem seems to be solved, speed was to low and compass was switched on.
@menion,
but I would propose to make it possible to switch on or of the hardware compass in the compass screen too, like GPS in GPS screen.
Using the new double tap and hold zooming, some tiles sometimes stay empty after zooming out. Locus simply displays "unknown problem". This is for RMAPs. Maybe a more specific error message in the tile would help spot the problem immediately :)
ps, could you update the expiry time please? one week is a bit harsh when on the road in offline territory :/
pps, i just lost the status of track selection again after a reboot. maybe it has something to do with the autobackup feature and trying to start locus too quickly?
sorting tracks by name doesnt work in the new beta. the track list is messed up nicely.
Quote from: "menion"news list
- added ability to shade ALL maps
- final integration of new ANT+ library (needs ANT Radio Service 4.1)
- added support for ANT+ temperature
- added support for Garmin IMG files (this is just a small bonus, don't expect big support here. I'm also not sure if this will be official feature)
- added new one-finger zoom
- improved export of GPX files (choose between version instead of "Garmin compatible")
- stronger altitude filtration for tracks
- fixed problems with settings own location sources
- added ability to hide tabs in satellite/compass screen
- many small speed optimizations
Enjoy
I copied a OpenMTB map as gmapsupp.img to /maps but locus doesn´t see it. The map is about 325MB big.
try to put them to mapsVector
to rest of You: almost all reported problems are fixed, I just do some slight improvements and publish version (with extended validity for joeloc) today
ok, that works, but I like the "mapsforge" Locus derivat. :mrgreen:
so do I :). There is also not a problem with "terms of use", like with these maps. But someone may find it useful, so why not. Also map programs usually allow to export to IMG rather then mapsforge format ...
Hello, I found yet another bug in tracks manager: copying selected track to another category leads to deadlock on progress dialog, operation never ends.
Sorry, it's not bug
Quote from: "menion"- final integration of new ANT+ library (needs ANT Radio Service 4.1)

I saw your text about Locus 2.14...
Just one question becouse i am not sure i should download new ANT Radio Service 4.1( I am still working with old Locus and old ANT Radio becouse Ant problems)
It will works without problems ( cadence,heartrate ) with new Locus version ?
rather wait. There is still need for an update of Ant+ Plugins library ... suggest to watch this topic where you may read news if comes https://getsatisfaction.com/locus/topic ... ger_add_on (https://getsatisfaction.com/locus/topics/training_manager_add_on)
Ok,Thanks for your link.
guys sorry for a delay. I was more then two days! stuck on this task https://getsatisfaction.com/locus/topic ... e_main_map (https://getsatisfaction.com/locus/topics/zooming_overlay_separately_from_the_main_map) ... it was really nightmare :). Current version is not perfect. There is need for ability to reproject maps on the fly, to allow overlay all possible maps, not matter what projection they has. But it should take much more days ... so for now, in new test version is final solution that should works fine.
otherwise, sorry if there will be any problems, expect that it's really a test version where major part around loading and zooming maps, was rewrote, so it may contain bugs ...
V 2.14.1.7
QuoteGPS is forcibly turned off when the device is physically rotated to change screen orientation in GPS/Compass screen.
and mapscreen,
this problem is not solved
Locus Pro 2.14.1
Nothing is shown at the 'DESCRIPTION' of the Locus Store items.
It is sometimes seen for a second but disappears immediately.
2.14.1.7. still fails with "unknown problem" when zooming out rmaps from time to time. happens with double-tap-and-hold as well as with pinch-and-zoom. maybe related to starting another zoom operation while the first one is still "updating" map data?
related: it would be SO NICE to have the map data updated WHILE zooming, not just when zooming is finished. otherwise the whole zooming process feels more like being on a commodore 64 in the early eighties. most phones have four cpus these days... use them :-).
@ta-ka: this problem is in Locus for very very long time. We're anyway working on better version now, so it will be for sure fixed
@joeloc: hmm, there is only one place that may cause problem you see. I fixed it little, but because I'm unable to simulate it exactly as you, I'm not sure it will help. You'll see. And about zoom - here is not main problem power of devices, but speed of SD card and data transfer. Most time consume loading bitmap data from file and creating a bitmap object used for paint. And I can do little with this. Also more CPU used for such task > more battery consumed.
I dont understand the power usage argument. You have to load the new map data anyway when zooming ends. It's just a matter of loading it earlier and maybe keeping different zoom levels cached a bit longer. The only argument I could understand was "too much time consuming programming work required to make it work smoothly". But that sucks as it shows me a useless white screen as long as I dont remove my fingers.
Then again... maybe all zooming problems and all horrible-3-fps-slownewss-track-display-problems will be solved automatically by a future OpenGL version, that is probably very close to being finished :-)).
if you zoom with fingers from, let's say level 11 to 12, then yes, I need to load it. But if you zoom from 11 to 13, Locus skip level 12, so there is one more less loading. That's what I though.
Anyway I still thank that rendering and working with maps is too slow. So less such graphics features, better. When, in distant future, Locus will fully run on OpenGL, we should discuss this also ...
Apropos zooming. If you use the double tap for zooming, how can you reactivate p. e. the right bar from background?
ehm, three finger tap :)
Sometimes life can be so easy. Thanks
Quote from: menion on August 28, 2013, 15:09:55

For me it works different:
double tap and remove finger from display -> the bars appear
double tap and leave finger on display -> zooming is activated

The recent versions were only test versions published here:

Playstore is still on 2.14.1 which is as expected.
also do not look on dates on Google Play. They're incorrect. We changed some texts on Google Play and this cause also change of last version ... unfortunately

After half or later the download breaks up. But in the moment I have also slow Internet connection here in India.

The Garmin map loads up and performance is outstanding! Really really really love this new option to use Garmin maps. My only 2 complaint2 with the current implementation is that I cannot hide the labels and can't overlay a Garmin map on a Online map. Another big step for Locus! Thanks so much!!

balloni, as gynta wrote, it's not clear if you use same theme. Also you may have enabled higher contrast that should also affect colors (but probably not as much as on your video)

Ups, your right, in pro was "walking"

I'm surprised you're happy with it. Results aren't even from half as good as from MapsForge library I think.
Anyway glad you find usage for it. Currently there is not settings for these maps. System that is used directly for rendering is quite a simple and it should be easy to improve it, anyway I'm worried that using IMG maps violate "Terms of use" of Garmin, so I'll probably not public this feature as official in Locus and also will not work (too much) on improvements. I'm worried situation that was previously (more then two years ago) with online maps, when I had to remove almost half of all maps and users were really angry :)
And btw.

So what does this mean exactly? Will I never see support for Garmin in the Pro release? Could it be a hidden feature enabled via the config file as to not draw attention from Garmin? It's really difficult to use any Garmin specific IMG files as their library is not human readable and files are broken up into lots of parts. However there are many websites that publish IMG files since Garmin is the most popular GPS. There are also lots of tools to create IMG files which comes in handy. How can these tools exist to create IMG files if there is risk for you to simply read/display them. Also, can it really violate their licensing if a person creates a IMG map with a third part tool? If there was another easy way to create a "vector" map with tracks I have I would be all for it but the only solution is to create SQLLite maps which has many shortcomings including zoom levels, file size, and possible transparency (for overlay). Keep it a hidden feature that is not marketed, only accessible via forum knowledge and it shouldn't be an issue. If it ever becomes an issue then removing it wouldn't have the large impact that the other maps issue had.
Thanks!
Under the news list from today is blue link of the new test version.
But now I found the link much more below :-)

Right! I'm not happy with the results of Garmin map :'( This is a free map for Finland, one eager beaver converted the survey map into .IMG format.
Mostly I am missing the shading of different landscape (fields, forests, open cliffs, etc), buildings(!), major roads (now I have two thin lines for opposite lanes), etc.
I do not have original Garmin maps, so I do not know how good your rendering is on them. But this Finnish maps looks much better even on a low performance Dakota 20 than on Locus.
So..., there seems to be a lot to do, so make sure that your efforts are not wasted on a non-publishable feature.
I don't want to sound so negative :), for me Locus is very nearly perfect ;D, I just haven't found a good map for all purposes.
I could download the apk file now with internet explorer. I transfered the file to my phone but I get the error message parsing error.

Ok now it worked. My last download was corrupt. Now I installed 2.14.1.8 but the Dashboard is still loading ages. Sometimes it takes a minute before I can see it. Also the guide on still crashes after 99 km.
I installed a folder with Garmin IMG files into the mapsvector folder but I still can't see them in the map list on Locus. Do I need more files than the IMG files?
hmm so three problems ...
1) "dashboard take a minute" to:
a) I click on "dashboard" button and it take minute till this dashboard appear
b) Dashboard appear immediately, but it take minute till some numbers display (all of them or just any?)
2) may you please do me once more crash log with this new test version? I'm not able to reproduce your problem with long guiding line

The "open" maps are almost worthless in the woods (IMHO).
I took two screenshots and placed them side-by-side, judge yourself, which renders the same map better, Locus or Dakota. (Note that the screenshots are 800*480 (Locus) vs. 240*160 (Dakota)).

Just a comment: ivo, are you using "Locus/maps/Vector/" or " Locus/mapsVector/" ? The first one is correct.

I was using mapsvector, not maps. Will try.
Today I noticed something with dashboard. I tried the preset white simple. When I open locus the white fields are immediately there but the numbers take ages. When I lock my screen and unlock the scree again, the numbers are immediately there. Maybe that helps to find the error.
@stebu,
you can try the online map of kapsi.fi. I think this map is integrated in Locus:

stebu wait, IMG maps really have to be in the same directory as vector maps from MapsForge so really in
Locus/mapsVector/...
Sorry I made a big mistake. It was the first time for me to install a beta version so I thought I still have to click on the Locus Pro icon. Now I discovered there is a Locus Free icon. Now Dashboard is working and IMG files are there. I tried with German topo and it works great.
Only distance to GPS is still crashing after 99 km.
good, so two of three problems are solved
I'm checking your logs. Seems that problem is on quite a weird place. In a function Math.cos and Math.sin. So it's some problem in Android but have no idea what may cause this.
Anyway because line to GPS isn't simple line, but it's a geodetic curve and exactly on 100km, I change it's precision, I improved code a little, so you'll see in next version. I hope this will help
Missing tiles ("unknown problem") still present in 2.14.1.8
Latest version shows strange behaviour when using full-world-maps. Install
http://www.openandromaps.org/maps/world/World.zip
and zoom out massively (World 00 20% or something). Then scroll. Waypoints jump around wildly. The map jumps around as well.

means FC and I can confirm...
FC immediately after you select this default action? May you create a log for me please, because I don't have such problem
I don´t get an FC, but I cant see the magnifying glass (on Note 2)

My Vote: Stop waste time to optimize import of .img files ;).
Is there any chance to work with themes aka garmin typefiles? Perhaps we can find somebody to help. ;)
The button 'Maps' shown in picture was 'Navigation' if I remember.
Isn't it wrong? It actually starts google navigation.

I have this FC too.
1. I tried first without catlog, sorry
2. I got the FC and now I cannot start Locus Testversion anymore even after a reboot.
3. I startet catlog before starting Locus and after the FC I saved catlog. for you.
4. I reinstalled the test version and got again the FC direct after the start.
5. I deleted app data and could now start locus Test but of course all settings have gone.

You could restore the last (automatic) backup (settings only).
Yes, I did so of course, but the backup was older then expected.

Some .img maps are working, some not. Belgium, Finland, France Alpes, Poland, Norway, Tracks4africa, Island, Svalbard, Germany, Sweden, Pyrenees and Russia(only at some zoom levels) are working.
Canada, USA and Chile are not working. All maps are working in Basecamp software. I noticed that if IMG is written in capital letters, it will not be recognized as map file.
In my Garmin Canada installation there is one folder (CT2) with all Canada topo north files and above there is one CT2.img, CT2_mdr.img, CT2.tdb and one CT2.mdx file. Do I have to copy them also?
I am most keen on Canada north because there are almost no maps from Nunavut area and the Garmin map is very good.

Catlog -> plz see our Dropbox.
thanks, I'm just working on it. This error occur only in published versions, not on my testing. Seems to be some problem in Proguard (mechanism that improve code before release), but cannot find a working solution.
@ivolino: I'll check it
The upper img file is the overview map.
If I press center map on the topo map I see nothing but if I zoom out I can find the topo part. Show center is not working. The lake names are sometimes shown 10x. The lake shape looks also very strange.
I agree with many others. Don't waste too much time for integrating Garmin maps. It would be better to find a program to convert Garmin .img files to .map files. Also because there are 1500 .img files in the Canada North folder, the map folder page is loading very slow.
so
1) centering - on one of you sample map, I found that one of four border coordinates is missing. So I improved it by moving map center to one border. So in this case, you'll not be centered, but just moved on border of map. Better then now
2) labeling - library I use, use own logic for rendering. As many other things, this is a question whether invest time and improve it, or not. And for now ... not
3) loading of long list ... yes I know about it. This is something that will change in near future. I spend almost three day on writing completely new background system for these screens with lists, so it will be introduced in one of future releases
EDIT: and btw. I tried just rename some maps to UPPER case, and they still works correctly, so I don't know what is problem with your maps, but it will probably not be a problem of name (you may simply check it by renaming)
Just the ending was in upper letters. So the map was not recognized as norway.IMG but as norway.img
ah damn, thanks ... you're correct. Fixed
probably last testing version before release ... feedback is welcome of course. Hope that all will work ;)

Thank you.
1. The magnifier works again.
2. If I zoom out with double tap and then zoom in again the adjacent tiles are not written again at the first try. I have to zoom out and zoom again. Moving the map alone does not help.
I tested this with two personal maps.

Also "on the couch" I can not get rid of track after I activated "test navigation" on it. Deselect all "via menu in Tracks" does deselect but the track stays in the mapscreen. The track is according to the info-box renamed to Navigation.
After a restart of Locus Free test the track is gone from the map screen.
@tramp: I'll check it thanks
@hank: imagine that "Navigation test" will always start navigation. When you stop navigation, track will disappear and previous appear. You may also tap on this new track and from bottom menu choose "hide", which should help also

Can't confirm. After stop the navi track is still on screen (with the thin blue line and the waypoints from the waypoint calculator).
Only after hide track the original track appears.
Sorry, wrong topic. But hé, this 2.14.1.11 is way faster (in zooming and panning) than the official 2.14.1
I want it.
Will try navigation in the field tomorrow.

But please please leave it, otherwise I could not check the results of the waypoint generator :D.
@henk: yes, another speed improvements of vector map lib ;)
@tommi: for this exists checkbox "start navigation". Just uncheck it to see results ;)
so I'm closing this topic now. Thank you all for very valuable feedback. Without you, Locus remain 100 years before apes ;)
Enjoy new version, hope all will be fine (otherwise I'll release again some bug-fix version soon)
edit: btw tramp, I was not able to simulate it, so next time
