Hi Arcao,

just downloaded and installed your apk. First look and tests are really positive! THANKS A LOT!  :!:  :!:

~sukmar

@Menion: Ok, I understand but Arcao could also tell us about the progress or such blocking things or whatever causes the delay of a new version. We are "on his side" and love his app   !

Yes that's right but if I offer an app to a bigger community I have a kind of responsiblity for it and them. Its the same with geocaching: If I hide a cache I have the responsibility to repair it if somebody tells me it needs maintenance - and I also do this in my spare time.

The most easiest thing would be to offer the app only for premium-members (at the moment - until a version that fits for both kinds of users will be implemented). I don't know the geocaching-API but there must be a way to determine the member type of a user.

I also would pay some Euros for the addon because it's worth it! I also purchased the pro version of Locus after having tested it some weeks!

I returned to NeoGeo. It's not at all as good as Geocaching4Locus used to be but it works. Unfortunately I think that new version of Geocaching4Locus would have already come out at least as beta if it was meant to...

Its really sad to say that but I also switched to another app called a:drake   . Absolutely not as good as Locus Pro but it works, especially loading caches and logging.

I'm also a software developer and I really cannot understand why it needs so long to release a new version  :?: . If it is too complicated to implement it for both non-premium and premium gc members then cancel it for non-premium members and only offer it for premium members.

I just updated to 2.0.1 pro and all problems have gone, thanks a lot for the quick help!

@jusc: Perhaps it was an issue on low peformance devices but not everyone has or wants such high power devices.

Especially for the outdoor usage a long lasting battery is more important than a fast CPU!

ufff, five hours of searching and testing ... looks like some issue on Android below 3.x (and even just some of them) ...

The 100% problem seems to be gone but this version does not load any sqlitedb- or vector maps :-(

Try a "fresh" map as I did! Perhaps it will work then?

I replaced my working 1.16 free Version with your provided new version and it still seems to work, rendering of germany map is ok. Can you somehow provide me a fixed pro version for testing if I can prove you somehow having paid for it?

The next update from me:

I deleted the germany map on the phone and copied the orginal from my pc to it and now with locus free 1.16 the rendering is ok! Then I downloaded the pro version from market (2.0.0.0) and installed it, but here the problem resists!!!

So now: Free 1.16 is working - Pro 2.0.0.0 is not

Hopefully the pro will not "destroy" the map again!

Let me know if I can somehow support you solving this issue!

It's me again.

I did the following now:

I installed Titanium Backup on my 8160 and copied a backup of Locus Free 1.16 from my other device to the 8160, deinstalled all locus versions, did a reboot and restored the 1.16 on it. The strange thing is: The problem remains!!! Now even with the former working 1.16 version it is not working any longer!

Did you change / influence other components or did you changes to the map itself?

Thanks in advance,

sukmar

Huawei is working and same problem on my phone also. Anyway all methods return useless results. So by comparing older codes I changed also one think and it reduces vector maps loading time on U8120 phone from cca 4 minutes to 20 secs. May you suggest me some application that show me processor usage (perfectly in system bar) so I can also check that all is working fine?

Anyway, may someone test this version? Thanks

Good morning,

I tried your provided 2.0.0.2 and with my smaller vector maps of bavaria only (230 MB) the rendering speed appears to be ok. Then I switched back to my germany map (1.1 GB) and the map gets rendered to a white screen. The "Loading..." disappears but it renders to a blank screen!

But perhaps you are on the right way, hopefully!

Could it have something to do with smaller devices that have slower cpu's? I especially bought such a device to use it for geocaching with the pro version of your app and offline maps - not even using a sim card. But since version 2.0.0.0 it is absolutely useless :-(

Hello Starman, did you know that I even created special topic about you?? viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1530&p=9190 (if that was you)

Anyway about issue:
 - I was talking with berkley by icq and he had similar problem few days ago on one testing version. After phone restart, everything fine (also now)
 - no success with Huawei still, anyway I was comparing codes (current with older) and found one small difference. It will probably not solve this issue, but please, try anyone this regular free version 2.0.0.1 and let me know, thanks ...

Hi there! I have the same issue on my Huawei U8160 - Vector map that formerly loaded within 5 seconds now needs about 5 minutes! Tried the provided version 2.0.0.1 but the same :-(

Could you somehow provide the old version? I was absolutely happy with it!

Thanks, sukmar
