I've today published a new version of the Locus Map 4 on Google Play. Today only for 25% of users, rest in next days. If anyone wants to test & play with it (or with the Locus Map Pro version), they are all already available on Google Drive!

Just for your info, why I do not communicate often as usual. Well, winter, some team planning, family require also some more time now, some illness and working on the system for one-time payments that consume most of my (not just) time. So nothing special and unusual, but just informing that app is still in progress   8)

Stay all healthy and don't be too much hidden at home like me, it does not worth it  ;)

Pictures and WIKI in online LoPoi are super. But there is a small data error, I have reported it here. Think it does not belong here, because the function works.
https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/27192-wrong-images-in-online-lopoi

But the LoPoi and others are very confusing. In the picture I see LoPoi online, LoPoi offline and OAM Poi. But I never know which Poi has which source.
here would be the suggestion at the end of the display to make a small sign. See picture.
e.g. for Online the www globe.
and I can not hide the OAM Poi. Hide go only general offline Poi.
I would like to hide LoPoi offline but show OAM Poi offline.

Post by: Menion on February 03, 2022, 09:42:18
@freischneider
thanks for the bug report, Radim will look at it.

OAM offline LoPoins use exactly the same system as our old offline LoPoins. The app does not see the difference between these two systems. If you see offline LoPoins from OAM and from LoMaps at once (which seems so based on your screenshot), then it is really really interesting. Anyway, probably the best solution is to delete the LoMaps database file.

Hmm, who was it?  :)
I read it Tapio, but I thought that you want to keep it always down till you tap again. Never mind, my mistake. Implemented, will be in next app version.
Title: Re: [APP] - version 4.6.+ ( 02/2022 )
Post by: Tapio on February 05, 2022, 13:42:19
It's a bit nitpicking, but as much as possible space for map is important.

So, can Locus detect the required space for the collapsed bottom panel more precisely? See screenshot, it could save some more space. Also it would look more useful if only the tracks name would be visible and no half unreadable lines. Maybe you could even create a distinct, space saving ui element only for the collapsed state. With just the track name  visible in a small line (I don't like the word wrap here) and an arrow up tap zone indicating expanding...

@tapio
what you see is intent. I do this on more places in the app > next row is visible from the half to indicate, there is more content that may be scrolled.

@CabrioTourer
@freischneider, well, why not to ask here in more friendly and less official places right? ;). And answer is simple: the app is not limited by any device resolutions etc, so it should work. How much usable it will be? Hard to say. I was not creating any optimizations for foldable devices yet, so keep this in mind.

LM 4.6.0
reg. Routeplanner:
- after calculation by using the build-in routing is the ETT (estimated travel time) based on the Profile used? Would make sense, but I would prefer using another one if evaluating bike-routes, maybe one of the ETT-list, by default..
- as known 'recalculate all' tells to switch to brouter. Though I want to use graphhopper (online service) which shouldn't be really tricky at least with a simple start-end-route. Trick is to resort via itinerary back and forth, then it works  8)  I suggest to optimize this artificial limitation and the switch-dialog..if really necessary at all, don't know
- doing this I recognised some layout flaws sometimes appearing, see screenshots..route overview at top instead of back-button or not shown at bottom

- yes, the profile is used to compute times. Any big differences to reality?
- I'll think about it. This limit was created because GraphHopper service was paid and I had to reduce the amount of requests to be within certain limits. Anyway, I'll look at it ...
- graphical problem: how you did it?  :D

@Žajdlík Josef
Do you mean adding your own photos to our public LoPoints? This is currently a work in progress and will be available this year for sure. Otherwise please describe it a little more, thanks.

Thanks a lot balloni. I've just fixed the crash and updated the icon and generated a new version under the same ID, so just simply update to make it work again.

Solved
Sonnys data fix it. Idk what is it that broke the hgt files.

I choosed a old track, changed it via route planner and saved.
Now the "show navigation commands on map" seems to be hardcoded in the track.
I'm not possible to get rid of it. Tried the option in settings but doesn't help.
The option works for other tracks on the map but not for this one.
Any idea how I can recover it?

(The option in settings wasn't enabled when I changed the track)

Post by: luce on February 14, 2022, 07:55:13
Since some versions of LM4 sometimes strange "Starting points" are produced along the track. Concerns both external and internal ("Lo...") routing profiles. I am using a set of external routing profiles since more than a year so I know they worked well for a long time – that means the issue should be with Locus or with the "embedded" BRouter. Did anybody else face this issue?
Title: Re: [APP] - version 4.6.+ ( 02/2022 )
Post by: balloni55 on February 14, 2022, 13:13:18
Hello menion
today i noticed for the umpteenth time that LM4 reacts very very slow after about 3-4 hours of geocaching.
After a click on any button it takes 5-10 seconds until the action is executed.
After switching off and on Locus everything runs as usual fast.
Is it useful to write a log next time and send it to you?

Post by: Menion on February 18, 2022, 13:50:50
@tapio
from where were your new SRTM files? They are really so bad or it is some different format that is app unable to read correctly?

@CabrioTourer
I do not know. Are you able to simulate this with any other track? Steps to reproduce this issue are needed I'm worried.

@luce
damn, I'm looking at is since morning and this is quite a big problem.
... (later afternoon) ... uff, done, solved. Problem is in merging segments, but it should by highly improved now, thanks!

@balloni55
these are probably worst possible problems. This usually happens when in the app is increasing memory requirement more and more and in the moment, it runs out, app starts to be really slow. Without simulation on own device, it is close to impossible to do something with it.

May you please test it in the future and let me know if this happens again? If so, I'll try to run a simulation on my device and do some tests. Thanks!
Title: Re: [APP] - version 4.6.+ ( 02/2022 )
Post by: Tapio on February 18, 2022, 19:59:05
Menion, cannot investigate any more. Accidentally deleted the faulty files. I don't know, I did not knowingly update the hgt files. Update again with Sonnys files fixed it. I have no other sources than either your Locus Store or Sonny.
They were 24mb hgt files. Either from Sonny 1" or from Locus server.

Post by: Menion on February 21, 2022, 15:40:55
Hi baegas,
are you able to record for me a short NMEA message? Just enable it in the app settings > GPS & sensors > NMEA recording > Always. Use BT GPS till the moment, you should for sure see a horizontal accuracy and then close the app and share with me generated file from the Locus/data/nmea directory. This should help me simulate this problem on my own device, thanks!

Post by: Menion on February 22, 2022, 11:38:21
Thanks for the file. Unfortunately, your BT device does not report GST messages. This is necessary to get valid horizontal and also vertical accuracy. So what you see is correct > app does not know this value.
Title: Re: [APP] - version 4.6.+ ( 02/2022 )
Post by: baegas on February 22, 2022, 15:34:02
thank you for your reply
It's strange. In the previous version, it showed no problem as in the picture, but I don't know why the current version is like this.
The external GPS is the same product anyway, the same input/output signals in the past and now will be delivered to the app.
Title: Re: [APP] - version 4.6.+ ( 02/2022 )
Post by: Menion on February 22, 2022, 21:15:48
I was worried you write this  :). I'm rewriting the internal NMEA parser to a more robust solution. And during this, I validate what they already app did. And horizontal accuracy was computed incorrectly from the HDOP values. But this was a small hack that does not make too much sense. The solution here should be to display directly this HDOP value as an +- indicator of this horizontal location quality. But it is definitely not an ideal solution. A lot better is when GPS directly support GPGST message.

After years, I used the geotagged-photos-on-map feature again. I noticed that the share button only shares the position. Even if I click on the picture, it open in a window, but there's no way to open it in another app, like my normal gallery. I think there should be a share button, at least in the picture view, better directly on the icon. Currently, long press on the icon opens a "menu" containing only "Set as icon" as option. This would be a perfect place to add (system) share without much effort.

Good luck to all near friends from the not too far east!

And we all others who have peace at home for now ... new Beta 4.6.1.4 with one big nice addition for Gold users (satellite maps), enjoy it.

And one big negative message as well. Google just yesterday removed support for "All files permission (AFA)" also for Locus Map 4  :-[ ... so from now, I'll be always generating also two versions of the Locus Map 4. For me, it means investing some time and improving app behavior without the AFA. Sorry and thanks for understanding. Current public versions are unaffected by this.

In the description I found "Map Tiles @2022 Here, Maxar, EuroGeographics"

@Menion
Is it possible to know the date of the aerial shot?
I am using them as a locus map overlay on my very old test cell phone and they work beautifully.
As Tapio said, it would not hurt to have the ability to download satellite images locally for limited areas of interest such as lidar files, although I understand that the data to be exchanged in this case is very consistent.
Having the images locally, on our mobile phones, would lighten the data exchange and benefit your servers.

Hi guys, aerial tiles are downloaded directly from the "Here" servers and we pay for them quite high price. That's why they are available only as part of the Gold Premium and also not downloadable. Thanks for understanding.

Hi guys, I'm not sure what exactly you need to know, so at least a few notes.

Since the next version, Locus Map 4 from Google Play also won't have AFA permission, so same as Locus Map Pro. Because of this, I'll be generating the AFA version and distributing it over Google Drive for now.

Because of this, I'll try to improve the usage of non-AFA versions as much as possible. New Beta already includes some core tweaks I was able to implement. From my point of view, the core is import/export of any points/tracks from anywhere and to anywhere (anywhere in the device + clouds). This is now possible. Also, I've added an option to import a map (and select subdirectory where to place it) and also import a zipped map theme. All this is in related places or over general "Import" function.

Is there any other core feature that is missing? Question to users who prefer automatic updates over Google Play of the non-AFA version instead of manual update over Google Drive ...

Is it possible to change the options for importing a map and importing a theme in 'importing A SET of maps and A SET of themes? In other words 'copy from a complete directory to a directory.

I have 4 devices where i have to place several  same OSM's. Several times in a year I renew these maps. ThereforeI I downloaded these maps in a directory in Google Drive. With X-plore I copied selected maps in one step to de maps-vector directory.

hmm, currently it is not possible. The system file browser also does not allow multi-file picking. Probably best in your case is to use the existing system over /memory/Android/MEDIA/menion.android.locus directory where you should still be able to copy&paste your data without any problem and the app will automatically load it after the restart.

Version: MapGooglePlayAfa_4.6.1.6_1061_beta.apk

In audio coaching of new BLE thermometer, there are bugs and my proposal.

1. Bug
In humidity tts, no round-off occured. For exmple, it says 56.123. (Temperature did round-off)
So I tested some.

I found that under a situation like no ko.tts file in data/tts folder, it says well 56.
But if there is ko.tts in that folder, it says humidity is 56.123.

2. Bug
In temerature tts, when using ko.tts or other languages's tts, LM added digit "1" to the last.
For example, it says "temperature 25.7 degree celsius(of course in Korean) 1".

3. Proposal
I found LM sends  the temperature with "unit" added. to TTS engine.
I think it might cause some uneasiness(?).

For example, it says in English(using en.tts) "temperature 24.5 degree celsius"

When I question the weather to Google Home in English, it says "temp~ is 24.5 degree" (with no celsius)

I found LM seems to send to TTS  like "24.5 °C" ( digits+space+degree char+C")

In some TTS engines, the way of reading temperatue characters are different.
Google TTS and Samsung TTS engine read it differently.

For example, some reads "24.5 degree" or "24.5 degree celsius" or (In Korean or others) "24.5 degree celsius temperature". So fininally, LM says "temparatue 24.5 degree celsius temperature(all Korean)"

Of coures it might not be LM's respnsibility.

Anyway...

So I propose some .

1. Like heart rate case, how about sending just temperatue/humidity numbers not with unit.
  so users using various TTS engines can adapt theirs case using lang.tts files.

2. Or if LM should send to TTS the temperarue added temp units, I wish one of two is to be adapted
    2.1. Using just ONE temperatue unicode char  "℃", not two  °+C chars,.(Some TTS engine of some languges read it dif)
    2.2, If using two ASCII chars  ° C, then please remove "space" between numbers and units like 24.5°C not 24.5(space)°C, Because some TTS engines read it as just numbers and the name of that unit, not as simple tempature.

I think method 1 is just simple and can be expandable by users freely,
however, with any method, I wish TTS reading of temp/humidity sounds natural to all people.

Thanks

@alogblog
thanks for the very precise feedback!

1, 2: This is really interesting. I'm unable to simulate it, but I've changed an internal logic a little bit, so hopefully, this will be solved in the next version.

3. hmm not so easy anyway
- very nice ℃ character, did not know it. Anyway, when used, Google TTS is unable to read it!
- I've also removed space between the value and the unit. You are correct it should be better.
