Is it possible to give a coarse ETA for the next update? I'm looking in the app store almost every day but can't find anything.

EDIT: Never mind, i found a bunch of updates. Turns out, Google Play doesn't show updates for Locus, go figure...

I spend quite a lot of time by improving this hillshade system and I think it's going to be ready to publish now At least you'll see in next version

Can't wait to see it in action - i have all of Europe in .hgt-files on my extSDcard. I knew i bought the right app for my mapping needs, and i only buy the best ones.  

Hi Menion,

This overlay shader stuff is genius! But i noticed that the hillshading takes away much of the contrast of the map. I thought it was some error on my part, but now i notice that your screenshot has the same problem.

May i suggest that you use a different blending mode for the shader overlay, a method that does not lighten the darks (text, lines, etc). In Photoshop terms maybe Soft-Light + a less bright hillshade overlay? Just poking in the dark here... As a brute force method the shader could amplify the contrast a bit, but i don't know if the processing cost wouldn't be too high.

Locus rocks!  :ugeek:
