Quote from: voldapet on June 22, 2026, 12:14:14you might still be seeing an older version of the web planner. Would you please try refreshing the page.
@voldapet - am using RoutePlanner 2.6.1 - there is always a banner at top of page when a new version is available for refresh. What I don't think was mentioned is that the new map must be selected (maybe obvious in hindsight):

I don't notice any change in performance. But also when the Map icon is clicked, there is only just slightest indication (pale brown color of icon) which map is selected. It is obvious for Ski & Satellite but not for V2 raster & vector.

Quote from: alang on June 22, 2026, 16:27:50...It's a bit difficult to see what has changed as the old one isn't there any more.
@alang - maybe same issue as me - the "old one" is there if selected?

regards the nice improvement "track-detail chart now highlights the matching section directly on the map", although not specific to this beta release, would it be worthwhile to disable map rotation and auto-centering, while showing the map based on the chart? I find it confusing when I've just saved a track, but the map preview at top is continually rotating, and when I tap the chart & the map is panned, it will revert to GPS position after auto-centering timeout.

map "options" - what I see at present is very good/ fast - is it raster or vector? I'm not sure if anything has changed; eg. https://web.locusmap.app/en/plan?lat=-42.8605120&lng=147.2948810&z=17&map=hikeBike

Its in the track detail when the line style in NOT plain color.
@Gerhard57, @freischneider (@menion) - ok thanks - but clearly the new chart in my screen cap has varying colors, so a legend that describes those colors should be accessible too? To me, the most obvious place for access to the legend ('?' icon), is from within the chart panel.

Also, let us disable sections.
@Tapio +1; yes I noticed too. Not listed in last 2 release notes.

At the bottom
@freischneider example of bottom of a track chart; what am I missing?

Chart panning when time gaps in the chart now works perfect - thanks!

after reading the latest news @ https://www.locusmap.app/search-chart-android-auto/ I have some comments I think more appropriate here than at the end of the post
1) Why are some location sources disabled even when I have Wifi enabled?

2) As previously discussed a few times with @tapio et.al., tapping the Map icon for a just-saved track recording does not center the map on that point, just the middle of the whole track

@menion Last week I reported that under "unknown circumstances" the track chart would zoom instead of pan, while using a single finger drag. I now have a screen video of it. Maybe it requires the X-axis to be time instead of distance, or to have a gap/ pause in the recording? In the video I tap +/zoom once, then single tap-drag to try to pan but you can clearly see it zoom instead. The tap position is faintly visible.

I've noticed, although could have been like this for a while, when you now tap a track that is being recorded, there is less than 1-in-30-taps chance the track details will be displayed in the bottom panel. Previously this was quite reliable i.e. tap the track & details displayed. It generally required North-up for the compass i.e. not rotating. Bug?

Quote from: slarti76 on May 24, 2026, 11:00:20Now I get it: It's not screen orientation, it's phone orientation!
@slarti76 good observation; I never knew that. North up seems more intuitive to me.

yup, more detail would save others time ;-(
Android with a mouse, yes I didn't check that
