Title: [APP] - version 0.9.0
Post by: Menion on January 01, 2011, 20:21:10
Hi to all,
  hope you've got nice start of new year. Me ... yes :)

so ... some news are coming. It'll take same time since new version will be on market. I really want to test some features. If you want, you should help with developing by testing new versions of Locus from this topic!


6.1.2011 - Locus 0.9.0


5.1.2011 - Locus 0.9.0.4


4.1.2011 - Locus 0.9.0.3

... and c'mon guys, any feedback is needed :)

3.1.2011 - Locus 0.9.0.2


1.1.2011 - Locus 0.9.0.1

about MyTracks integration - version that support this integration is not currently on market, so you have to use attached, UNSIGNED MyTracks (you need to remove old MyTracks and install this), otherwise, Stop recording function will not work. Also track is not visible on map, even in MyTracks. It's just for start and stop recording. System of MyTracks is still in developing, so I'm waiting with integration to final version!

what I want before release?

Interesting development of app Locus. But here's a little problem: App MyMaps doesn't work on Android Froyo 2.2.

My problem is not Locus,  but My Tracks. In this app I can see functional charts and table, but track only on the raster - not on the map (google map). Notice: standard phone app Mapy Google (in Czech) works OK. Maybe I have null problem. Excuse me.

Hi,
  it's OK :) ... I have similar problem. Don't know what's wrong with this version of MyTracks, but it is just developing version so it'll be sure fixed in final version. Purpose of this MyTracks version is just for Start and Stop route record.

  Currently I'm fully focused on support of MyMaps so let's wait for a while (~until end of January) if developers of MyTracks create any new market version. if so, then I'll do full support for Locus. If not, I'll create own recording service. Until then, test mainly MyMaps, and I'm going back to work on ability to add own path to MyMaps ;)

Hi,
  I'm not sure about time. This functionality really needs to be tested and I still have almost no feedback from users! But I'll probably remove unfinished MyTracks support and release before weekend new version. And yes, support for external directory have to do also :)

but why does the route planning only work when you have an internet connection?? it does not work without an internet connection.

didnt really mean route planning. But you cant place a path or a track on the map manually unless the phone is conected to the internet. If i disconnect the WiFi internet on my phone or go out of range...if i click on the right tab in Locus (the little guy holding the flag) it just says "information" www.google.com (http://www.google.com), and does nothing. But if i am connected to the internet the application for making a path on the map works fine.

ah, understand now ...
  little guy with flag is icon for MyMaps. These maps are maps stored on google server. It's whole thing. Without internet connection, you cannot use these MyMaps. If you're not familiar with MyMaps, look for example here //http://maps.google.com/support/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=guide.cs&guide=21670&topic=21676.

  I'm going to sleep now :) so try to understand, if any problems we should discuss it tomorrow ;)

Recents improvements are sooo great. Tracks integration was the only missing feature.

Now it beats Google Maps hands down !!  :twisted:

Thanks you again for this useful application. (specially for trips abroad, where I can't use my data connection)

I'm going to give I a donation via PayPal  ;)
