Dies sind die Neuigkeiten:
- Der komplette OAM-Hintergrund für ZL 8 und höher ist jetzt aus Christians Oktober-2025-OAM-Vektorkarten generiert.
- Die Auswahl und Priorisierung der Siedlungen (Großstädte, Städte, Dörfern etc.) wurde nach 1 1/2 Jahren wieder einmal komplett neu berechnet.
  Da Siedlungen in OSM vermehrt als Relationen definiert werden, allerdings in uneinheitlicher Manier (selbst innerhalb eines Landes, von verschiedenen Ländern gar nicht zu reden ...), war eine Erweiterung des Algorithmus nötig ("Warum fehlt Grävenwiesbach in ZL 9??" war hier mein Augenöffner für das Problem). Und es gab noch viele weitere Fälle zu lösen.
- In Vietnam wurde diesen Sommer die Provinzstruktur stark verändert - die Hauptstadt-Ebene wurde entsprechend angepasst.

Maps / Autumn release of OAM World maps is online
October 15, 2025, 21:05:55
These are the news:
- The complete OAM background for ZL 8 and above is now based on Christian's October 2025 OAM vector maps release.
- After one and a half years, the selection and prioritization of settlements (cities, towns, villages, etc.) was recalculated once again.
  As settlements are increasingly defined as relations in OSM, but in an inconsistent manner (even inside one country, let alone between different countries ...), an extension of the algorithm was necessary ("Why is Grävenwiesbach missing in ZL 9?" was my eye-opener for the problem). And there were many more to be fixed.
- In summer 2025 Vietnam changed its province structure - the capital layer has been adapted accordingly.

Locus Map / Re: [APP] - version 4.31.+ ( 8/2025 )
October 09, 2025, 10:04:02
@Andrew & Menion: if I understand the article correctly, the adb stuff will be on the developer side. Asamm will register for sure, so APK sideloading Locus should work as today.

Hallo Christian,
bei mir kommt das nur wenn ich eine Suche mit Treffern habe, ein Treffer ausgewähkt ist, dieser aber nicht im Fenster sichtbar ist.
Wenn ich auf die Karte tippe, geht das Biest bei mir weg. Und wenn ich auf diese Lupe tippe springt der Bildschirm zur Lokation und ich kann "hide" wählen.
Probiert mit dem aktuellen RC.
Schönen Urlaub da oben und LG
Michael

Versionsinformationen 202507-V1

Der komplette OAM-Hintergrund für ZL 8 und höher ist jetzt aus Christians Juni-2025-OAM-Vektorkarten generiert.
Die Auswahl und Priorisierung der Siedlungen (Großstädte, Städte, Dörfern etc.) wurde nach 1 1/2 Jahren wieder einmal komplett neu berechnet.
Vermehrt werden Siedlungen in OSM als Relationen definiert, allerdings in uneinheitlicher Manier. Somit war auch eine Erweiterung des Algorithmus nötig (,,Warum fehlt Grävenwiesbach in ZL 9??" war hier mein Augenöffner zum Problem).

Viel Spaß ...
Gruß

AFA stands for "All Files Access" and is needed for users who
- use a non-standard root folder for Locus (like the earlier /Locus/...) AND
- run a device with Android 11+ (I assume this applies to a majority of users)

The one with the shortest name can only use the standard locations (/Android/data or /Android/media - I consider the latter best practises, as good file managers can read/write there, while Google blocks access to the former. (There are geek level work-arounds for that, too, but I won't go there here.))

Leaves DEV - which is a non-AFA version (unfortunately!) but with additional debugging features. I only found out by installation. There is no documentation I am aware of.

backup+backup would be a highly sophisticated SQL exercise that I would NOT recommend.

A safe way is to
1) backup BOTH waypoint and track DBs (at least partially (?) done as I read from above)
2) put the SMALLEST DB into its place in the Locus folder tree
3) select everything you want to preserve and use the "export" function of Locus to get the stuff (POIs and tracks) into files
4) now exit Locus put the LARGE DB into place
5) do all IMPORTS from those files.
Done.
Good luck
Cheers

Locus 3.7 is in fact what was called Pro years back, hence that step was correct.
Your Laptop backup, is that the zip from Locus backup function? Or a copy paste of everything you found under /Locus?

Yes, we are talking about the same.

And I also think that the icons in the list can double on size without increasing the text spacing.

PS: while display on the map is really cool, viewing a series of photos is painful. Always go back to the map, tap, get new list, maybe hit the same photo again if you are not careful, ...
Do I miss a trick here, or do we have to ask Menion to give us swipe left/right through the list (which has good sorting preferences,  BTW).
TXs and cheers

Wie Menion und Support immer wieder einmal erwähnen: schaut in Menions Post-Fußzeilen, dort ist auch ein Link zu den APK-Downloads.
Verzögerungen kommen u.a. durch phasenweisen Rollout (erst 10%, dann 25, ...)
