[4.28.3.2 beta for testing]

Pre-weekend 4.28.3.2 beta for testing!

Among change in sorting (more later on Help desk if necessary), there is a risky change of how points and tracks are drawn on the map. Give it a try. If there are any graphical problems, the screenshot is welcome. On the drive is also previous version, so it is easy to replace (simply update) and return to 4.28.3.1.

Have a nice weekend!

automatic zoom defaults > hmm you are correct, such values are there. A little harder to do it better I think. During navigation, values from Presets should be used. Otherwise when someone enable auto-zoom, he should also modify these values based on his own needs, which may be quite different (walk/bike/car).

recorded algo > start time of the track has to be year 2000+, total length > 0 and total time > 0. This should ignore manually created routes in the planner and the imported routes without a time.

@Mick FU
visibility > do not understand. Simply sort items by distance. There is no difference between points or tracks when using this "Show first X items" function

[Beta version 4.28.3.1 (25.3.2025)]

Hi guys,

Beta version 4.28.3.1 (25.3.2025)
  - add: "Last recorded" modified for My library search
  - add: filter extended to filter out recorded tracks
  - add: separation of sort by distance to GPS or map center
  - fix: memory problems related to Map-screen content panel
  - fix: partially remaining start screen in the memory
  - chg: default track rec folder for new installs
  - fix: crash when setup TTS for POI Alert
  - fix: nearest points/tracks also display folders
  - fix: rare crash when selecting track on the map
  - fix: fix: minor graphical problems in the My Library
  - fix: rare stuck during pinch zoom-out with vector maps
  - fix: color for temperature chart + option to customize temperature color in Expert settings
  - chg: navigation chart current position moved to 1/4
  - chg: enabled adding attachments to points from anywhere
  - fix: many minor tweaks and fixes

What are the most important changes here?
- option to quickly filter only recorded tracks (sorted by date)
- separated "Sort by distance"
- has anyone tried the new "Mark visited" option in the POI Alert? It was made for one small Czech team, but maybe it should be useful not just for them?
- I spend two days by searching for possible memory and speed problems, so app should be a little more stable now


@joeloc
Please give a try to this new Beta version, it should help with zoom-out crashes.

Filtering tracks by activity should be possible with filter. Are you already on the 4.28+ version? Then filter already contains option to filter only certain activity types.

Hi,
we are (again) fighting with updates on GOogle Play, sorry. Please use the APK available in our public repository and update the app manually (drag & drop should work). The link to the shared Google Drive directory is in my signature.

Omg, thanks @Graf Geo . I was testing and improving this screen and forget uncomment one part of change 

New version uploading ...

And problem with Google Drive? Don't ask me why.

@T-mo
centering button > still not perfect? Hmm, will try to test it more ...

New version 4.28.3 uploaded to Google Play (and Google Drive) and awaits confirmation.

Sorry, still not implemented.

The similar idea I already pointed to in my TODO record is here.https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/assign-activity-during-import.

Suggest vote there so you'll be informed if something changes.

Hello,
we have noticed this issue also from one user on our help desk and unfortunately, we do not have any solution for this, sorry.

Detecting if the track is under the map center cursor is a lot more complicated task than simple detection of the point icon. With more tracks on the map, this should slow down performance a lot. Not sure if it's worth it ...

Hello,
there is no known method to me, sorry.

Hello elef,
what happens when you press a device "back" button when in the detail of a certain item in the "Map items" screen?

Thanks for the test!

Conversion from 4.27.2 to 4.28+ or this update, none of them touch on points or tracks data! So, the problem you have with altitude stats will be just in reading of statistics, not that they are missing in the database. Unfortunately I'm unable to simulate it. Even my 15-year-old tracks display profile correctly. May you share your tracks DB with me? Thanks!

Circles ... I wasn't testing this feature properly, sorry for this. Will look at it next week!

@Christian
I'm unable to simulate any problems with guiding, sorry. Do you have enabled sound notifications for this feature? Please check it.

@Graf Geo
hmm, base search does not use full-text in points/tracks. It is very very slow, so it is not used. On the second side, search in the MyLibrary respects your settings. So if you have enabled "Search also in descriptions" there, it after click from base search, display also content with the required text in the description.
