Since both Mapy and Viamichelin closed down their traffic overlay service. Google is the only one that still works. Here's the code:

Code Select Expand

Note that 'transit' is required as 'traffic' only does not work anymore. You need to combine traffic with another map and transit works for that purpose.

Thanks! I can confirm the problem is not with Locus, but apparently with the external provider that seems to have removed the specific layer from the ZXY tile server.

Could you share it via private message? I'd be interested to try and see what may be going on. It can of course be that all external providers started blocking my requests

Is it me, or did overlay maps stop working. No matter which overlay I select, they all stopped working. I either get a message "cannot load map" or no message at all, just no overlay.

I used the m*, G* or M* traffic overlays occasionally.

Since 4.33 there is an issue when calculating routes with highways. Every exit is announced as a "keep left". Very annoying and this was not there before.

Reproduce: open the planner using offline locus router. Plan a route over a long stretch of highway. Inspect the details and you'll find hundreds of navigation points, all the same: "keep left".

Verified in latest beta.

Another bug that appears to be back is that, when editing a route, the time is not updated correctly. If you want a new estimate of the time, you have to recalculate the entire route.

Have you tried the latest version I've just published?

I checked with version 4.33.0.8 build 1211. The problem appears to be fixed, i.e. I can edit the route I linked earlier again.

Have you tried the latest version I've just published?

Given the number of problems reported here with the latest beta, I'll hold off for now.

However, there are now multiple reports in the helpdesk about the inability to edit routes. I answer them with a video of the workaround via the web planner.

I made a s reen capture of the problem with certain routes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hBbUPK2HMt9LgnBQUrV8TfbWYN_fRXpB/view?usp=drivesdk

I also noted the problem is reported as a bug in the helpdesk twice (not by me)

@Blihi
share a problematic route with me over "Share by link". Thank you.

Sure. Here's one that cannot be opened in the app: https://link.locusmap.app/t/1s9v2t

This one does not open in the online planner either.

This link is working for me, both in app (latest beta) and in Web planner.

Interesting. I can open it now in the Web planner on my Windows computer. It did not want to open in the Android version of Firefox on my tablet yesterday.

In the app (latest release 4.33) it does not open, but when I choose "edit route" the app opens the empty planner.

The latest beta is 1207, while the release is 1210. I cannot downgrade to 1207 to test, unfortunately. But it seems to be related to this, i.e. any route made after January 2026 has this problem for me.

Routes can be restored in the following way: open them in the web planner, recalculate with the correct profile, store as new. Then you can edit them in the app again.

Or, sometimes on a tablet: open the route in the webplanner, select edit, open in planner. Then refresh the page, now the Locusmap app will open with the route in the routeplanner. Here you can save it directly to the app.

For me it's the entire holiday planning for this year, unfortunately 

Well, I'll just hope it will be fixed soon.

After reading the entire thread, it seems the problem is the same as mentioned here:

I think there ist a nasty bug in Beta 4.33.0.1

Routes created using the route planner cannot be edited. Selecting 'Reroute' displays a brief 'Initialising' message, hides the route to be modified, and brings up the screen where I can create a completely new route. It's as if I were starting the route planner from scratch.

Routes created using the web planner can still be edited (once).

See screenshots.

Though, it does not seem to be limited to routes made in a specific small time window. Older routes, i.e. more than a year old, open well, but routes that are from 2026 do not seem to open.

I can confirm that this is the exact error message that shows up in the log every time I try to open one of the routes that won't open.
