Title: Geocaching tools:Draw circle, line etc fails
Post by: stebu on July 22, 2011, 22:43:22
I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. Sometimes the circle appear on the map, mostly not :(
When there is nothing visible on the map, the "remove temp map items" tool still asks if I want to remove all items. There seems to be 2 items per a circle (center and the circle)

I once thought that the "speed rings" enable/disable had something to do with the geocaching tools, but now it has no effect.

So what am I doing wrong? How to enable the display of temp map items?

I have the latest free 1.9.4 version

can you give me some your ... step by step?

simply say: you use function draw circle and nothing appear on map when you press OK? (and "speed rings" have nothing to do with this function)

Simply yes.

I open geocaching tools, "draw circle", coordinates default to map center and radius is 160m. Color is reddish, so it should show on green background.
I do not change the defaults, simply hit OK. Nothing is shown in map center or in GPS position.

But when I tap the "remove temp items", it asks "do you really want to remove 1 item?"

I think the above should work, but I have also tried changing coordinates, radius and color, but same invisible result :(
Yesterday in one session (of Locus) everything worked, but after that never.

Android 2.2, ZTE Blade, Locus 1.9.4. No errors or crashes in logs.

Dear Menion,

I have the exact same behaviour. I'm using the the latest Pro-Version from the market (btw. thanks for this great app! That's why I bought the pro-version!) and yesterday the circles would have been very handy as the sign with the azimuth was unavailable but we had the distance. So I said to my companion: Look what a great app I have here, I think this can draw circles.... but nothing appears.

This morning I tried again and voila: I had a nice little circle. I closed the app and tried again just to see it wasn't working again. I tried each and every combination in the settings but weren't able to get circles again.

If you need any further infos please ask.

EDIT: Didn't used it before, so I can't tell if this bug is introduced in the latest version.

EDIT2: What I also experienced was that I had in mind that the new Weather feature also draws an overlay icon but now these are also missing.

EDIT3: I'm mainly using offline vector maps if it has anything todo with it.

I use the same solution as with thread //http://forum.asamm.cz/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=878. Closing Locus via an App killer and everything should be working again.
Please confirm following:
