Hi Radim,
Du antwortest auf die Idee der gröberen Segmentierung (gehen die von Anschlusstelle zu Anschlussstelle oder noch kleinteiliger?).
Aber das Problem ist auch, dass der Fußgänger-Modus über 100e km eine Lösung liefert, der schnelle Auto-Modus aber nicht.
Warum passiert denn das?

How's GDrive download for you guys recently? For me, downloads aren't mostly starting, as in screenshot.

@Tapio - download to Windows 11 worked for me & unlike false "virus" detection with 4.29.0.2, Microsoft Virus scan didn't complain this time ;-)

I stopped using the GDrive app for downloads as it fails consistently; using FireFox on my smartphone does work with some extra clicks (no virus check, bla, bla).

Hi Menion,
I've been talking about OFFLINE use:
- LoPoints Wikipedia entries
- triggering e.g. Aard2 offline Wikipedia (or any other App that reacts to Wikipedia intents)
Your screenshot has used online search.
LoPoints does contain all necessary information, it's a question of formatting and building a link to click.
And of course LoPints should provide English as a secondary language, as available in OSM and Wikipedia.
TXs and cheers

The DEV team is still working on offline maps for iOS. Only if that works, the offer makes sense.
On Android you can enjoy them right now.

I understand that you do not want to replicate Wikipedia, Menion.
My point is: you have Wikipedia references in LoPoints already (though partially only, and I trust your team will fill in all available data over time), but they are flat text and not live links.
Now, having offline on your device
- maps
- LoPoints
- Wikipedia (via Aard2 e.g.)
you have EVERYTHING in your hand already to make it work, EXCEPT a live link (just look at the Locus Wikipedia search; there it works like a charm) with the right Android intent to fire up the existing offline Wikipedia App on your device.
Easy piece of cake, right?
TXs and cheers

Saw my screenshot at 9:07 :-)) ?

On Android, Sophos Intercept does not detect a virus either.

Microsoft lonely judgement ...

AFA stands for "All Files Access" and is needed for users who
- use a non-standard root folder for Locus (like the earlier /Locus/...) AND
- run a device with Android 11+ (I assume this applies to a majority of users)

The one with the shortest name can only use the standard locations (/Android/data or /Android/media - I consider the latter best practises, as good file managers can read/write there, while Google blocks access to the former. (There are geek level work-arounds for that, too, but I won't go there here.))

Leaves DEV - which is a non-AFA version (unfortunately!) but with additional debugging features. I only found out by installation. There is no documentation I am aware of.

Good stuff for a long weekend; TXs a lot, Menion.
What I was hoping for was offline search for Wikipedia. The second step does work. Clicking on Wikipedia, I can select Aard2, which is a fully offline Wikipedia. However, switching off mobile data runs into an error.
"Always on" assumption is an ideology that will fall flat on its face, sooner or later ...
If I recall correctly, you have links to Wikipedia in the LoPoint database, right?
TXs and cheers

backup+backup would be a highly sophisticated SQL exercise that I would NOT recommend.

A safe way is to
1) backup BOTH waypoint and track DBs (at least partially (?) done as I read from above)
2) put the SMALLEST DB into its place in the Locus folder tree
3) select everything you want to preserve and use the "export" function of Locus to get the stuff (POIs and tracks) into files
4) now exit Locus put the LARGE DB into place
5) do all IMPORTS from those files.
Done.
Good luck
Cheers
Michael
