Hello, firstly, thanks for tests!

This indeed is a dark mode. If this mode is enabled or not decide the core Android Auto application, not the Locus Map itself. Odd colors are because we had not yet created a proper night map style, so it is only a color-inverted basic day style.

@slarti76
and this is the biggest problem - detect which point misses its icon  . I'll have to look at it later because I currently really do not have a simple solution here.

@Pcmann
this is a big topic here. I still do not know why this happens, sorry. If you will have anything that may help, it will be more than welcome

"Prave to stazeni offline je pro me jedna z nejdulezitejsich funkci" > myslíš to, že si viditelný obsah na mapě z live-mapy stáhneš?

Zrušení filtru u live mapy > zrušit nelze. Ber to tak, že je nutné vždy jasně nadefinovat co se má stahovat, tedy "All" filtr je ideální řešení.

Nicméně chápu tedy nedodělky
- uložení keší z live-mapy
- možnost vypnout filtraci u Live Mapy snazším způsobem než přes custom "All" filter
- templaty pro logy

Vše je realizovatelné. Narazí to samozřejmě na čas a priority, které teď nehrajou ve prospěch geocachingu.

@MAO_CZ
aktualizace všech keší v jedné složce bude z počátku příštího roku s novým data manažerem.

zastávky u labek bohužel pokud se nepletu, nejsou součástí jejich veřejného API.

"dev" version > sorry, it is our internal test version, removed

complex labels > ah, I've completely forgotten about this setting. Fine ...

@Andrew Heard
thanks for the ideas!

move & copy in the style of file browsers > we were thinking about it and decided to keep old system. It has its positive and negative of course and we were not sure which one is better > so rather stick with system that we know it already works.

editing options > the idea here is to unite all methods to be available from within a certain folder/point/track. Reason for this was to get rid of three-dot menu in the folder item and replace it for the eye (so united with points/tracks).

"My library" name > you do not like it? Better "Library" than "Data" I believe 

"No-go" points > I know. Already discussed. No-go points are not in the database, so I'll have to change whole system a little more to make this possible.

More clicks than before? Before you had to open the folder detail and here at the bottom tap on the "eye" button with this option. Here is it the same.

Na "final waypoint" u keše kouknu, díky.

Ohledně error zprávy: jestli můžu poprosit, včerejší Beta verze je ke stažení tady.

Po spuštění podržet dlouze prst na hlavním menu a zapnout logování do souboru. Pokud chyba nastane, mělo by v logu nějaké info být ("logs" adresář v adresáři aplikace).

Ohledně obrázků (bod 2). Nějak si nejsem jist (a docela o tom pochybuju), že Geocaching4Locus stahuje někam i obrázky. Jak to poznáš? Přes dialog "Geocaching4Locus" dám "Nejlibžší" (první tlačítko), a takto stáhnu X keší. Po uložení vypnu internet a ty kešky v listingu budou mít obrázky?

I was creating a method detecting invalid/missing icons a few years ago, but was never successful. So there is currently no tool for this, sorry.

@Pcmann
what do you mean by the "cache icons"? I'm not aware of any problem here, so if possible, describe me a steps to simulate this problem on my own device, thanks.

They are. I really hope (believe), it will be realized (finally) next year. It is a shame on us ...

Hello,
it depends on the Android version you are using, but with Android 11+ (I expect you use), the app copies files into its own working directory. You should get an option to choose the target directory more precisely. Does it happen?

Deleting the map deletes the file itself, not just the entry in the Map manager.

If you deal with more maps, a good solution may be placing maps into /Android/media/menion.android.locus/maps directory. App should use these maps directories without the need for some copy & delete operations.

Zdravím ve spolek,

tak opět, zkouším a nic. Nicméně, jste někdo ochoten nainstalovat si speciální verzi a zapnout logování do souboru ať vidím něco více? Bude to trošku detektivní práce ale odladit by to snad mělo jít.

@lukasMK
Popiš mi prosím přesněji problém s final waypointem. Na gc.com jsem si u jedné keše změnil final souřadnice a přes všechny metody v apce, se mi zobrazuje správně přesunutá.

@PavelTT
díky za log. Nicméně jen ukazuje na místo, kde chyba může vzniknout ale neměla by, tedy tohle mi přímo nepomohlo.

Nicméně ohledně funkcionality, zkusím uvést sumář

Nativní implementace Geocaching API v Locusu Map 4
- Live mapa včetně filtrace atd.
- vyhledání keší v okolí, též s možností filtrace
- online (přímo log či upload draft) logování keší
- stažení keše dle kódu (menu > funkce > Geocaching > Hledat podle GC kódu)
- stažení PQ či předdefinovaných seznamů (menu > funkce > Geocaching > Mé seznamy & PQ)
- celkem komplexní práce s trackable objekty, tedy inventář, logování přes keš (menu > funkce > Geocaching > Zalogovat trackable)
- práce s poznámkami u keše, tedy možnost stáhnut online či uploadovat lokální
- update jednotlivé keše (přes detail kešky) a nově začátkem roku v novém "Správci dat" bude i nativní update keší dávkou

Co má tedy Geocaching4Locus navíc?
To mi částečně povězte, vím jen o
- možnosti importu keší viditelných aktuálně v live mapě (což lze v apce velmi snadno přes "Hledat geocache + vybrat filtr použitý pro Live Mapu")

Field notes add-on
- ano, možnosti které nabízí v aplikaci zatím nejsou. Locus Map nabízí jen Geocaching > Nástroje pro geocaching > Správce logů. Ten podle mě dostačuje pro základní práci ale add-onu nedosahuje.

Ah, it was you 

Sharing of the whole folder also because of possible collaboration on the same data, is, as I probably wrote, one of the biggest motivations for this big change in the Data manager/My library system. Slowly, but we are getting closer

Thanks, will be fixed in the next app (Beta) version.

[@Tapio]

Sorry for the week of silence on my side. I was fully focused on the Android Auto that will be part of the next release.

Graf Geo asked for some estimates - good question. Sync system is already working in our testing environment. With Andorid only it is easy > problem? Restore backup. With sync it is more complicated.
Anyway, release > we are searching for the third web developer this year. Two previous, eh. Skilled and reliable developers seem to be a problem. My idea, when I started to work on this in Jan 2024 was a September this year. Now I hope in January 2025. In the worst case (99%) March 2025 on all three platforms (web, iOS, Android). But still ... do not expect on other platforms features we fine-tune here.

@Tapio
"Complex labels" > thanks for the video, but I'm still unable to simulate it  . I've at least made a minor change, maybe it will help (probably not). Hmm ... it will need a version with logs.

@Neoaliphant
"mount of GPX folder structure" > no please  . We may later think about some kind "import whole structure", but it should be a bigger change and to be true, I hope it won't be necessary.

Btw. sharing of a single folder already exists as an idea here and is planned on the next year. This big change is a necessary step.

@Gerhard57
edit folder & lost sort > thanks, fixed

bigger thumbnails > I want it too, but there is currently a technical problem. I plan a "Grid" layout later, but it needs "UI style per folder". So later ...

"eye" button not reflect value back to My library > thanks, will look at it.

@Andrew Heard
move and copy of folders > yes, it is as I wrote.

scroll breadcrumbs when new folder is added > when you add a new folder, you do not directly jump into it. So new folder is not visible at the top breadcrumbs so there is nothing to scroll.

space between items > I was already testing smaller spaces, but the panel started to be a small mess, so rather not.

back to the map immediately > simply tap on the top-left "X" button

inspiration from Solid Explorer > I saw it too and like it  , was just lazy to do something like this

@Graf Geo
crash when folder icon is missing > ah, thanks, fixed

@freischneider
"show the first X" under folder > hmm, a little more complicated here as it also (may) consider sub-folders. Also, in moment you tap on the folder, it is not perfectly clear if there isn't any filter and how the folder and inner folders are sorted - that usually affects the selection. So no, sorry. Small tip > open the folder and long-click on "select" button to get old "show/hide" menu.

@wollewolle
thanks for test, appreciate it!

Hello,
quickly before voting: there are currently no plans for this. There are too many possible requirements for a training diary and there exists a huge number of 3rd party services.

Because of our very limited team, it makes a lot more sense to add support for another web portal/service, then creating such a complex tool on our side. The situation may change a few years later but for now ...

Hi,
Unterschied wird riesig sein. Warum?
- Track-Aufzeichnung auf > permanent aktiviertem GPS!
- Track-Aufnahme aus > GPS nur aktiviert, wenn der Bildschirm eingeschaltet ist!

Hi,
difference will be huge. Why?
- track recording on > permanently enabled GPS!
- track recording off > GPS enabled only when the screen is on!
