I just found the "addressdb" folder on the mapsforge ftp-server. There you can find files (i.e. country.sqlite) in SQL database format. Is it possible to use these files working in Locus together with the vector maps???
 
I opened such a file and it contains cities, boroughs, postcodes, roads, roads_postcodes, roads_boroughs. Every road is listed with lat/lon  8-)

MapsForge has released new version 0.2.4  8-)  Have you already used the new mapfile-writer? Would be interesting, if the created maps are different to the 0.2.3 version...    I'm just loading a 0.2.4 map from their server...  

I have it already done... Must upload it...  :oops:

Done.

Daily updated vectormap files for Germany and its 16 federal states are available here:  //ftp://ftp.mapsforge.org/europe/   8-)
Works great in Locus...  

Well, I never thought that I will spend again a lot of time in a cs after my work with Trekbuddy. But Locus is a such a funtastic software so that I decided to make by contribution to Locus...  

No, the TrekBuddy CMS is complete different to the Locus CS and beside this, the features provided by Locus support much more powerful CS...    But if you want to make your own CS you have to start from beginning. I had to do the same...  

What CMS have you used with TrekBuddy???  

No, PACE is very different. It's used by runners and it's calculated in "minutes/km"...

Version 1.05 uploaded...


The latest version contains the following information, listed from top to bottom:

Top screen:

+ GPS lon/lat, course (GPS or internal compass)
+ GPS lon/lat of waypoint (wpt), azimuth to target (if wpt is set)
+ name of next waypoint (if wpt is set)
+ direction arrow, shows direction to next waypoint (if wpt is set)
+ distance to next waypoint (if wpt is set)

Center screen:

+ map as background (if selected), covers the whole screen
+ analog speedmeter with average (green)/maximum (red) speed indicator (if selected)
+ compass rose showing course (if selected)

+ button bar on the right side to make items visible or hide them:

+ Button #1: top panel, to get more space on custom screen
+ Button #2: all waypoint informations
+ Button #3: speedmeter
+ Button #4: compass rose
+ Button #5: map as background

+ button bar on the left side to make items visible or hide them:

+ Button #1: shows PACE for runners

Just tap on a button, to make an item visible or hide it!

Bottom screen:

+ map center lat/lon
+ GPS speed, GPS altitude
+ average speed (only when move), actual used satellites, visible satellites, GPS accuracy
+ recorded distance, recorded time (only when move)

For suggestions, bugreport or other feedback, use the thread in Locus forum.

Great to hear! Well, custom screen is different from homescreen. I don't know whether some functions from homescreen can be added to the custom screen. Only Menion can answer this question...  

Version 1.04 uploaded...

I use SCREEN CAPTURE SHORTCUT... works WITHOUT rooted phone...

Version 1.05 - 020611

Since Locus 1.8.2 custom screens (skins) can be created by users. A manual and short description can be found here. Menion did a great job to provide an excellent plattform for custom screen design. I want to support him and Locus with my custom screen. You will find here always the latest release for download.

Download :  Version 1.05, tested with Samsung i5800 (240x400) and Samsung Ace (320x480)

To use the cs, copy the ZIP-file to the folder  Locus/data/customScreen
Please post your phone/resolution and whether the custom screen works...  
Feel free to give feedback, bugreport or suggestions!

@Alex2

I think I'm just adding this arrow to my CMS for Locus...  
Be patient... I still need some time for the CMS design. I hope that I can finish it until Menions next Locus release.  8-)
