One day later. The addon helped me to download one spoiler image, no chance to use it for offlinizing all spoilers. So no real option anyways.

And I went geocaching today and experienced lots of weird stuff as long as I had installed the addon. Stuff like: I use the live map and am not able to download caches from there. Or I updated one geocache (with native locus functionality) and got data from some completely different cache from a different folder. I deinstalled the addon and everything worked fine again. Therefore: Hands off. This addon is definitely no longer an option.

So maybe you could try to find a solution for making the native offlinizer do its job?

Ok, back to the addon, I was told to remove a while ago

Thanks for the hint Balloni55, this works indeed fine.

And looking forward to the 80 days, even more now with your feedback 

Whenever I am geocaching somewhere with limited net coverage I would love to have pre-loaded any spoiler images. Unfortunately the Offlinizer seems not do to do a very good job.

Example: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC9KVJR_08-in-80-caches-um-die-welt-griechenland
This listing has an image named "Spoiler nah Oktober23".
The GC Offlinizer tells me that there is nothing to download.

Has anybody some tricks for me for getting spoiler images?

Thanks for the analysis. I will try your suggestions.

I installed this new version. It took me longer to get Locus to crash, so there is at least hope I am just creating the next bug report and will send it, once it has been generated.

I have created a bug report and sent via mail to Locus Map <locus.map@asamm.com>

Since 4.26.1 was installed on my device Locus keeps crashing randomly when just moving around the map. Sometimes I can work a few minutes, but more often it crashes every few seconds.

Userid: 74bfed507.

There is no dedicated error message, just "Locus Map wurde beendet".

I would like to roll back to the previous version just for testing whether this would help. I really need Locus to work for the upcoming weekend. Where can I find the apk for the previous version?

I just found another thread in the other locus forum, which has much more information and discussion:

https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/34422-cache-aktualisieren-funktioniert-nicht-mehr-locus-map-classic-3-70-7

Confirmed from my side, too. I just tried to update any cache from locus or search for caches. The action are ignored, nothing happens.

The only geocaching related things I get to work is the old 3rd party app, which I fortunately still have installed.

This needs to fixed with high priority.

The ticket I had opened for this problem in Github (for GC4L) was closed half an hour ago as fixed. So Arcao seems to do changes from time to time.

Wow! You are my hero  I love Locus and I am glad that I will be able to keep it.

[nor import lists which contain more than a few caches.]

@balloni55

Unfortunatly the decision you talk about does not really help.

Yes, we can see the overview of possible lists to be imported with the old APK.

But with the old APK the "update problem" was also reproducible when importing lists.
See my post from the September 16, 2022, 14:09:05 in your linked topic: "The problem is getting worse and worse. At first it concernced only mysteries, but these days I can neither update more than about 50 to 100 geocaches together nor import lists which contain more than a few caches."


So going back to the old APK does not help at all.

But at least I found a kind of workaround yesterday. The good old pocket queries still seem to work. And this allowed me to import some stuff.

I created https://github.com/arcao/Geocaching4Locus/issues/136

I have no real hope that this will be solved by Arcao as Menion said in the thread for the other (now finally solved) problem, that Arcao is no longer active.

So probably another of these problems which will in the long run make Locus unusable for us geocachers

I call the 3rd party feature "Geocaching/Import Lists".

Instead of the overview of all lists, which I could import, I get an endless waiting circle. See screenshot.

I have reduced the number of lists in my account, just to be on the safe side, but this did not change anything.

I cannot say for sure when it worked last, but I would say that about 2 weeks ago I could still use it successfully.

Could the problem be somehow connected to the changes in the pocket query API, which were published recently?

Locus Version 4.12.1
UserID 106d6ebd7

Thanks a lot. I tried with a long list of more than 5000 geocaches, and it worked fine.
