Thank you!

This setting was indeed off. Guess, it was to cold today for me to realize it.

Hi there!

I'm out in the woods right now on a hike and figured out that the "keep the position" get lost as soon as I zoom in or out. Can someone confirm this, please? Thanks.

4.32.0.7

Hi there!

Just two really minor points:

1. Having the distance marker activ and setting the track color to "using folder style" does not change the color of the distance markers.

2. Creating a new folder showing the icon I did set in the expert settinge as "default point icon". Shouldn't it be a folder icon?

@Mark_Again
maps should work with updated theme. Theme is available in the Locus Store, just search for "John Thorn".
I made a hint in the app about this, but seems, it does not work as expected. Will improve it to the next app version, sorry for this.

Edge-to-edge for explanation is not equal to "Full screen". It is a new requirement from Google. Now apps fully control what is draw behind the bottom navigation and the top status bar. In all cases. No exceptions. So all screens and dialogs have to provide correct offsets from sides, handle camera cutouts on all devices, draw correct background colours etc. And because Locus Map consists of a few hundred screens and dialogs, it took us almost two months to make it all work as needed.

Nice overview from Google for example here.

Oh. Than I missunderstood this feature.

Hello everyone,
I have now installed the new version 4.32 and, like Erelen, noticed that all my dashboards no longer appear where I had placed them, but appear significantly higher up. I have not yet found a way to move them back to the lower area. A dashboard that appears in the middle of the map view is not a solution for me.

Another silly question: What does edge-to-edge mean?

Edge-to-edge (Full screen) can be set in the expert settings so you can use full screen. I made a new dashboard based on Locus on top of the screen without any problems.

PS: Locus 4.32, Android 14.

Just figured out: pressing a "Freiwillige Feuerwehr" LoPoint a shelter POI is shown.

Hello,
I do not think that "corrupted". Most probably, there is a problem related to the size of the imported data.
Because the problem is right at the start, to get at least some idea about this problem, but "log" created by this method will be necessary.

Hello Menion,

thank you for the info!

The system ui failure came after making this gpx visible:

Maybe you can try to download and test it?

The bug report is "on the way".

Hello Menion,

I just installed 4.32.0 and "played" with it, especially with the files in the folders. After maybe ten minutes I closed the app and restartet it.

The App stuck with a white screen at startup and a status bar saying 100%. I just want to take a screenshot, but Android was faster: it showed a UI Failure and restartet its gui.

The label showing the amount of files in the folder is not visible. Could it be that my database is corrupt?

I'm sorry for the problems, but I can hardly do anything about it now. If only problems remain the number of items in the folder, you may simply try to add/remove any content. Values should be recomputed.

Hello Menion,

after importing a gpx the numbers are ok now. Thanks for the hint.

The label ist still missing.

Greetings, Dieter

Hi Locus Team!

I just deleted three larger GPX from the folder "Gesamtstrecken". Now there a four Trails. Going one step back in the folder Hierarchie, the amount of files in the folder "Gesamtstrecken" is still seven.

Because the trails are really large, Android did ask me if I want to stop Locus or just wait. I did stop and restarted Locus.

Speaking as a programmer myself, but you can't really expect all internal bookkeeping in a database to be correct if you kill a process while manipulating that database.

No offence meant.

Hello Slarti76,

please unterstand, that I'm a user, not a programmer. I do not know, what a App does in the background. The tracks were already deleted before I went one level back in the file system. There I saw the mismatch and maybe 10 seconds afterwards Android showed me the message:

You cannot view this attachment.

I ignored it maybe twenty times before I stopped Locus.

Best regards, Dieter

I also had an "System UI" error today while using Locus. Android gui restartet afterwards.

Let me know if I can provide more infos etc.

PS: The "0/4 Files in Folder" label has an x (2. screenshot). I just clicked it and now the label is gone ( 3. and 4. screenshot).

Hi there,

after installing 4.31.2 the App freeze at startup for some minutes before continuing.

I rebooted my phone already, but the App still frezes with a white screen saying "Lade".

After a while I forced the App to quit. Now it behaves as always.

PS: In The meantime I figured out, just to quit the App when it stuck at Startup. After a restart, the app starts really quick.  But after ending and restarting it again, it freezes again. It is repeatable like a flip-flop.
