Hello,
sorry for these troubles.

I've generated version 3.70.19 , so give it a try.

@WildWortWechsel
give a try to the next version tomorrow and if there are still any problems, the best is to send it over a personal message here at the forum (small icon under my photo).

Thanks to all for the tips and wishes regarding the chart. I see it similar in many ways ... but not yet. I need to first invest a little more time to track detail, to make it more flexible. Customisation is planned, but as a second step.

As I wrote before: if the new chart works correctly, I'll try to adapt it in the rest of the app.

Hello,
do you mean open it automatically? This is not possible. You have to tap on the required point manually.

In the app settings > Points & tracks > Point label, you may enable the display of small labels "on hower" or "always".

Hi guys,
if there is a chart that does not look ok, please share it with me over the "Share by link" option. With this, I should get an identical copy to what you see on your device. There are a lot of changes in the background, so it is possible that some charts won't look ok. I'm ready to fine-tune it next week!

And @WildWortWechsel , where have you found this Map manager version?  . It is already 5+ years old, and I thought it was private. Anyway, don't use it. It needs to be rewritten from scratch. Hopefully this year ...

And the problem ... tap few times on "Wait" please ... and then share the track. I'll look at it as soon as possible. Thanks!

Do you mean to hide the chart panel completely? For all tracks, or just recorded, planned, imported, ... ? 

[Beta version 4.32.4.2]

New Beta version 4.32.4.2
  - chg: completely new chart system in the track detail
  - chg: improved track guidance auto-zoom logic & fix jumps when zooming to nav points
  - chg: highly updated "Smooth movement" system. Now also usable during navigation (still needs more love next week)
  - chg: major speed update in unloading points (and partially also loading)
  - chg: updated list of add-ons/co-apps
  - add: option to purchase missing LoCoins during map mass update
  - fix: open quick bookmark correctly in preferred app
  - chg: disabled optional map tilt, again, sorry

Few notes:
 - tilt is not working properly. I've disabled it for now. It simply needs more "love"
 - new Chart library is now used only in the detail of the track. Let's play a while with it. If all works as expected, I'll step by step unite (finally) all charts in the app. Info: Colours for the chart in the expert settings are ignored here. Because I need colours for light and dark mode, these settings no longer make sense and should be removed later.

recording problem: try to switch Settings > GPS & sensors > Google services assisted location. You probably have this enabled (default), but it starts to cause a problems on some devices so give it a try and disable it.

Zdravím,

interně je trošku změněný systém jak se prvni odebírají a přidávají do mapy. Zde je tedy možné, že to již nefunguje jako dříve. Co koukám, řešení by mohlo být smazání kompletu obsahu mapy přes boční "Map-screen content menu". Jen pozor, toto odebere z mapy opravdu komplet obsah knihovny. Tedy pokud máš například z některých složek jen vyzobané nějaké zajímavé body, toto je prostě skryje.

@Graf Geo
icon at photos > it should indicate that these photos are only local, not stored directly in the track or Locus Map. It is a small preparation for the future synchronisation of attachments. Then we will need to distinguish which photos are persistently attached in the Locus Map and which are not.

@Tapio
date > Locus Map is not taking data directly from photos. It communicates with the Android system that has its own "Media database". How exactly they get data from photos > we do not know for sure. But I really expect that EXIF plays the main role.

Breakfast > now you perfectly know, what happended during your trip 

Swiping problem > will look at it, thanks., hmm can't simulate it. No matter if top panel is visible or not, swipe works as expected.

Opening in external app > first request on this here. Not sure if this is extra useful. Locus Map should not replace a photo browser app, but here we should get a quick overview of a few photos taken during trip, nothing more. But you still can open a photo and in the three-dot top menu is "Open" option.

Display on photos on the map > I already had an idea to display these photos directly on the map when the track is highlighted. Maybe later ...

@freischneider
filter some WhatsApp etc photos ... I'll look at it. About "EXIF" first > as I wrote about it to @Tapio, we do not have this under control.


And tilt, yes. Area of rendering in larger than without a tilt, but still not enough. Hmm...

Oki, thanks for the push. Next version ...

Hmm weird. Are you able to delete ".visibleItems_gcWaypoints2" in the app data/database directory? It will be probably in the "\Android\data\menion.android.locus\files\Locus\data\database\". So accessible, probably only over PC. This file stores information on which waypoints should or should not be loaded.

Ah zatr, díky. Už to vidím. Tak si je prosím smaž a doporučuju nepoužívat zatím "Všechny geocache" filtr. Ten způsobuje tyhle duplikace.

@Christian
I'm unable to simulate it. With "Keep manual segments" disabled, the app always recalculates all, even manual, segments. If this is crucial for you, a short video with steps from the clean route planner to this problem may help here a lot. Thanks

@Andrew Heard
opening shared track > it looks like the app is trying to open its own shared link and fails. May you try to "Clear defaults" for the Locus Map in system settings? Thanks

@Tapio
same with the recent 4.32.4 version? We made a change there, that may have influence on this problem.

Zdravím Čeldo,

díky za detailní popis. Nejsi první kdo si na tohle stěžuje, tedy "za následující dotaz mě nebudete mít rádi" tady určitě platit nebude  .

Ten koncept aktuální obrazovky, to jak plave nad mapou a není to tedy plné okno jako v LM3, ten systém záložek dost komplikuje. Zkusím se nad tím více zamyslet a něco s tím udělat. Minimálně by šlo do dílčích obrazovek (listing, waypoints, ...) přidat rychlé prokliky do těch ostatních. Jediné co bych rozporoval, listing by si měl pamatovat kde jsi skončil pokud pracuješ s jednou keší, tedy tak jak v LM3. Zkouším a funguje mi to ...

@Andrew Heard
There was a lot of work last year with the update of native libraries for databases, coordinate conversion etc. And this caused a massive increase in the size. On the second side, updates over Google Play increased by only a few MB.

"Open in app toast" > it looks like Locus Map itself is trying to read the shared file and it ... fail . "Share the file" works ok for you?

@Christian
Check route planner menu > settings > Keep manual segments option
