I have been using a cool tool on the internet to generate a .kml file to use in locus; the .kml draws circles on the map to represent a scaled-down model of the solar system.

http://thinkzone.wlonk.com/SS/SolarSystemModel.php?scale=5000000000&loc=47.6602911,-117.1534257

When displayed in google maps, the orbits of the planets (especially mercury and pluto are like colored donuts, with a circle in the middle of the colored area.  In locus, the .kml displays more like a series of semi-transparent disks, with the circle at the outside edge.  (can't even see through to the map after four are overlayed.)

it appears that locus is filling the interior of the polygon (circle) described, but not stopping at the "innerBoundryIs".  and I'm not even sure about the line for the planet's orbit.

thanks for any help-

This happens during ride.  I'll get in the car, start navigation, get the "Let's Go!", then I drive along the route, but get no voice for turn-by-turn instructions.  Also, I get no notice if I go off the route.
I experience the same results.
I go to navigation, select a destination (tried various, select point, address, ...)
then it says "Let's go!",
I start moving,
sometimes it says "Then"
I watch carefully when the symbol changes from a straight arrow to a turn, or turn left/right, etc, but no voice happens.
sometimes I try recalculate, and it will say "Track was re cal culated", but otherwise silence during travel.
when I finally get to the destination, it will say "You've arrived at your destination!"

Though it is not my preference, I have enabled mobile data just in case it's trying to call google and ask it how to pronounce words. (it says my "TTS engine" is "com.google.android.tts", and my language is "eng")

Oh, look at that, opening up the text-to-speech settings just now, it has a red error message that says:

"Unexpected problem!"
"Please contact me with the description of your problem"

no error number or other indication of how IT knew there was a problem, though, or what it things the problem is.
I clicked the "check data" button, just because it was there, and the error went away, and was replaced by "ready to use".
the button changed back to the testphrase(do you like locus)/test text-to-speech  bit, (which always works when I try it).

I went out real quick to try a new navigation, see if it had suddenly gotten better, but no.  Looks like I had just had my wifi on during my last test, and it had errored out when I left the wifi zone.  can you confirm if this wants mobile data? (not that it is working for me even with it)
thanks-
