@Graf Geo - yep - that makes 100% sense.

What about the more general case of "route planning" inserted into middle of existing track?
#2
@Geo Graf - similar in my post, although I appended to an existing track with the Route Planner
https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/37533-track-route-breaks-the-web-planner
now fixed; although how the additional Route Planner trackpoint timestamps are determined I haven't checked, but I assume at least will be ascending.

How would additional Route Planner trackpoint timestamps before the 1st real trackpoint, and in more general case, when inserted into middle of existing track, be calculated though?

@Graf Geo - now fixed - now unlisted - hmm, I thought anyone with link could view a private video

Quote from: Graf Geo on May 19, 2025, 07:45:39But following the steps in your list I can't see any problem:

1- search for Toilets - OK
2- now search for Supermarket
3- bottom panel now displays supermarkets
4- tap panel Back button
5- now search for Food & Drink
6- bottom panel displays Food & Drink
ahh - there's the issue - your step #3 - it doesn't display supermarkets; it still displays toilets; same for #6; plus issue with panels "stacking"

Quote from: Graf Geo on May 18, 2025, 09:49:28I cannot confirm the first issue, it works correctly for me. I don't understand your second problem, what do you expect?
@Graf Geo - there is only 1 issue. Sorry for any confusion. I've created a video that may help explain the problem easier. see https://youtu.be/u6wH6s9qMhQ. #seconds below in the video
  • 02 - search for Toilets - OK
  • 07 - now search for Supermarket
  • 08 - observe bottom panel still displays Toilets
  • 10 - tap panel Back button
  • 12 - now search for Food & Drink
  • 14 - observe bottom panel still displays Toilets
  • 20 - tap panel Back button multiple times but taps are ignored
When I posted yesterday, the bottom panel names were correct although on-map POI not reflecting the category searches. 3 bottom panel instances stacked on top of each other.
  • 21 - swipe down on bottom panel 3 times (most likely 3 panels for 3 searches) until map is fully visible

4.29.0.7
search > online > category > "Supermarket" > return map - OK
search > online > category > "Food & drink" > return map - but the new category is ignored, the slide up bottom panel still displays supermarkets
bug?
It is only when I tap the LHS <- button next to Supermarket that I can perform a new online search where the bottom panel is correctly updated

PS. in fact more complicated - each search produces a new instance of the slide up bottom panel which is over (hides) the previous search bottom panel - intended? I can't access the older panels "out of order" without tapping Back or the panel left button, so is this complexity useful?

@Traciuasa yes really frustrating when your "item" is in the middle of a long scrolled list ;-(

@balloni55 - the endless blue bar is an animation representing the "flowing water" ;-)

Quote from: Graf Geo on May 17, 2025, 11:02:37This is true if the copy is saved in a different folder. But with a longpress on the (empty) thumbnail, this is created.
@Graf Geo - longpress - sure, but shouldn't be necessary - surely thumbnail should always be in-sync with track info?
#9
bug(?): when a copy of a track is made, the thumbnail for the new copy is not generated
#10
A minor inconsistency with WebPlanner 1.55.7 I don't think is worth a separate help topic. There is an inconsistency with the "in" & "out", "left" & "right" < > ^ \/ symbols for the left & bottom panels, for when they are opened/ closed. I think the left panel symbol better reflects the intention, but either way, the bottom panel symbol is the reverse, so inconsistent.

4.29 beta - this may have already been raised, but I am finding the point sharing from Google Maps to LM has broken again. If LM is not running when the GM share is performed then LM is opened & the map positioned correctly. However if LM is running when the GM share is performed then the LM map isn't repositioned/ the share is ignored. Rather a shame as I'm just about to start a 7 week cycle trip where this linkage has been very useful on previous trips.

When I share a point from GM into a text editor app, the URL is for example: https://maps.app.goo.gl/57XBGPqXz5gEqpA17

Each folder has its own sorting preference. Saved automatically.

4.29.0.5 (& no doubt earlier versions too) - search online address & places - press single letter & list comes up with POI from other side of the world. This has always been the case as I've reported a few times before. Can't the search be centered over the current position? Surely it makes no sense?

The Wikipedia search is a brilliant asset for the overseas cycle tourist.

Quote from: Graf Geo on May 10, 2025, 00:25:16When I open the route planner, Locus crashes regularly.
@Graf Geo - sorry to read, just checked, it's working for me.

Quote from: T-mo on May 07, 2025, 18:35:49Yes, no-one needs those 1970-dates. Though it indicates some lack and outdated handling ;D  :D
@Morris75 @T-Mo 1970 - as posted - Unix/ Linux "time zero". Also as posted @Menion explained the metadata timestamp is the important one.

Quote from: Tapio on May 07, 2025, 18:25:26How'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 ;-) BTW to clarify, I mean working with Google Drive webpage not GDrive app.

Quote from: Morris75 on May 06, 2025, 10:05:19I've discovered a problem with the route planner.
When I create and save a route, my route is saved with the date 1970-01-01T and the time 00:00Z
@Morris75 what timestamp would you expect? I just checked a few of my routes too, and confirm the first route-point starting <time>1970-01-01T00:00:01.077Z</time> which is clearly Unix zero time. The GPX of a route is not a recorded track, and so <time> isn't an actual time, although the time of each subsequent point of calculated according to the estimated speed from the routing profile. As far as I know 1970 has always been the default.
