Thanks Bernard.

I was astonished as the toolchain implies Phython2, obviously with pyghtmap.
I suggest to change to a newer version based on Python3, see https://www.openandromaps.org/oam-forums/topic/info-pyhgtmap-aktualisierte-und-verbesserte-version-von-phyghtmap and https://github.com/agrenott/pyhgtmap/releases.

"Dotted style" > also for @Tapio ... this change was created really quickly without extra work, and it is mainly a better text in the preview. I see very low usage in it so consider it as a geeky fallback, nothing more ...

I appreciate the quick solution.
To those who missed the discussion: there was the need and request to only mark the recorded trackpoints without any line.

The chosed description is irritating.
'Dotted line style' is very misleading:
- 'line' actually is disabled, its 'style' is not relevant
- 1st list-entry of 'pattern' is 'dotted' and that way often visible..I wouldn't choose the identical word.

'trackpoints only' would be sufficient IMHO.

Or you add a separate mark-trackpoint-option, independent of any line (polyline) and its drawing-style (solid, pattern, whatever), would be perfect imho. Well yes, another option more to handle.

pattern : isn't 'Dotted' more something like 'Dashed'? I don't see any dots, well, who would use regular (round) dots anyway..?

4.33.0.7 (1211) crashes on start

@T-mo & @0709
eh, it already exists. Just uncheck all "Line", "Pattern" and "Outline" values in the track style.

Indeed, this hack works. See pic.
By the way, the trackpoints inherit color and size from the Line, so to change those enable Line again, change color and width, then save and save and edit and disable Line.
After change the track is still highlighted and you might not immediately see the change. Deselect your track.

If you restart LM, the trackpoints (of your track with disabled Line) change to black, small size and outline style, which is surprising and inconsistent. Edit and save brings the old state back (color of track and filled dot of size px-width)

4.33.0 / 1210
like the improved charts.

track line style:
currently we don't have a line style which marks the track points of a recorded track or? My track is partially precise maybe due to the used profile-settings. I always see the track-line but never its points with markers as line-style-option. Would love to see this improvement, currently it's always a guess to identify the line-vertices and don't want to switch to the trackpoint-panel.

smoother charts:
as you mentioned, smoothing signals is about filtering and a typical topic in signal processing. Often moving average or Savitzky-Golay-filtering is used, eg. https://de.mathworks.com/help/signal/ug/signal-smoothing.html. Don't know if it makes sense to use some on-the-fly-processing or to add some simplified representatives.
But maybe you already used this in the past in LM.
Maybe a button or a setting-option is useful to generally switch to smoother charts. I personally prefer smoother charts, "noisy" is always somewhat disgusting.

idea: make the white chart-background transparent to see the map

I think there ist a nasty bug in Beta 4.33.0.1

Routes created using the route planner cannot be edited.

identical to pt.2 in #28 and #30
confirmed
maybe obsolete with mentioned fix (menioned fix  ) since 4.33.0 V2

fixed with 4.33.0.2 beta

"track preview" > you talk about clicking on the map in My library, that opens a full-screen view to the track with a small map at the top right
route planner issue > may ylou give me more precise steps? Thanks
suggestions to profiles > it is info for @Radim V

• yes. Small map at top, name is overlayed (and covers part of the track, at least with multiline-names. Track-preview is still small, therefore any coverage feels more annoying than it actually is), below date/length/duration/etc, chart, waypoints (mostly empty here with my recorded tracks),  Best interval (never used here), Details. I suggest to repeat the activity-icon at top. Activity of course always needs to be set separately,  no correlation to used recording-profile. But that's ok.
• route planner > set start, set stop > menu Navigation/ Guidance > Close (nasty move ) > select track > menu Re-route > empty, no start, no stop. I suggest to always make any planned track re-routable with all details once set, in general.

Still like the latest polishing, LM gets better and better..

testing 4.33.0.1 beta
- My library: track preview is quite small, map size defined by their bounding box get only ~20% of vertical screen and additionally get covered by the (multiline)name. I suggest to make some categories waypoints, interval and details collapsable, at least they are almost empty or rarely of use IMHO but waste a lot of screenspace.
- route planner: planning at home..using 'Navigation/ guidance' and 'close' , then re-route doesn't work, everything is lost. I would like to be able to edit routing-details and continue planning, otherwise the temporary-route would be of no use, would be a petty for all the efforts.
- suggestion for routing-profiles
    - road or cycling in general: add 'stick to cycle-routes'
    - hiking, walking: add 'stick to hiking-routes'
  I often prefer those routes as otherwise you might get routed along annoying or boring roads with traffic, traffic lights, small space, non looking pedestrians, etc. or you are facing buildings instead of nature

@Ulrich Kiermayr:
seems like tile-rendering is as usual (screen plus some super small margin), but with using tilt you can look into the not-rendered-tile-area.

This small tile-rendering-window is generally somewhat annoying, you can move the map back and forth or slip while checking your area and everything needs to get rendered each time. Waste of processing.

Tilt is very nice with map shading enabled, like it

LM 4.32.0.4
the bug once mentioned in the german post you answered shortly is still existent.
With GPS location on but crossed moved out of current position and center the icon still keeps its white center and does not switch to empty/non-white. This is only with lock on, with lock off the center of the icon immediately switches.
See pic, center not on current position (far away) but icon filled white, obviously wrong and easy to doublecheck.

btw i use the dual centering button (expert setting > maps).
There's also sth. wrong with north direction and center on current location and map-rotation, you definitely have to move center-cross out of location to enable northing, otherwise it switches always back to map-rotation when centered. I know this move but might be irritating to others.

Guess all that is supersimple to solve.

all fine here, theme, legend and validation.
must have been a lot of work, my respect.

LM 4.32.0.3_1198 alpha (version of beta-testing, only meant for testing)
OAM 2025-12 (map)
theme as zip in Mapsvector/_themes

Updating a bunch of libraries is often a challenge.
I do recognise your ongoing love, so there is love and world a good place

I launched LM Afa 4.32.0.3_1198 alpha and clicked a bit here and there and all was fine.
I realised that RoutePlanner has issues with offline-router LoRouter Offline, see pic.
Track-segment results in error-notification and a direct line with draw-manually pencil-icon, maybe due to missing calculation-result.
I updated routing-segments, tested tts in settings, chosed different profiles, didn't help.
Online-routing is working, all fine.

Same like Tapio, though I have the top panel-visibility mostly set to 'auto-hide' to have the fullscreen-experience. I could also live with that. But it lacks beauty.

Full-screen setting > I'll discuss this with my colleague, but this setting will probably be removed. It is a hack that no longer works correctly.

'Hack' might be a strong word. There a quite a lot of apps out there with fullscreen-modes and touch-overlays, probably technicallywise it's more a matter of stack-concept, parameters and drawing, guess so.
Will bottom panel change in the feature? it is working perfectly there..

@T-mo
select track > Re-route > what track are you "re-routing"? Recorded or previously planned? I've tried it and it works as expected to me.
attention info > app asks if you want to overwrite, so it is ok, isn't it?

- recorded track. I found the issue. I choosed Re-route, planner opens and the correct profile was preselected. I checked, preselection was fine, nothing to do. As there is no re-calculate all any more in burger-style-menu, I thought job done, save as new track.
But a closer look tells you, all track-parts are with pencil-symbol, not bike-symbol, and probably not recalculated at all. You have to actively trigger recalculation, which can easily done by selecting the already selected profile. Dont trust your eyes or logic. Honestly that's easy to miss.
- why do you want to overwrite a recorded track with an artificial one? Re-route means re-use to me, but not re-write. I guess in 90% of use-cases it will be meant to be used as starting-point without the intention to get loose of recorded data. Maybe you have same start and end and want to have a training-, sightseeing- or explorer-variation or you want to drive patially similar with extensions or whatever. From my point of view.. Question is, if everyone assumes at dialog 'Save track' means overwriting your once recorded track.

[beta]

Klingt frustriert und nicht mäßig konstruktiv.
Du nutzt LM 4.31.3.6 beta, das musst Du ja nicht machen wenn es stabil bleiben soll. Mehrere Libraries wurden aktualisiert. Zudem kannst Du das ja im beta-thread mitteilen, 2 Sätze und Bilder genügen.

Ich selbst nutze die LoMaps nicht.

LoMaps D-NRW Sept.2025

Entspricht jetzt nicht meinem Geschmack, aber funktioniert grundsätzlich. Vermutlich werden das mehrere benutzen. Ob das jetzt so aussieht wie es muss müssen andere beurteilen.
