Quote from: DIDYM13 on August 27, 2023, 17:32:00Quite Menion !!@Menion @DIDYM13 - is this a compass smoothing issue? I have config.cfg hardware_compass_filter=50 which is the maximum value and I recall a long time ago this worked well, but when walking these days, or stopped as a cyclist, the map rotates far less smoothly than I remember/ expect/ hope-for with filter=50.
When I'm in navigation mode, I feel like "the map is on a turntable" and some guy is kicking it with a quick spin on direction changes.

Quote from: freischneider on August 17, 2023, 08:20:35I still have poor results here as well. Maybe it's because Google Maps doesn't append usable data when sharing. Coordinates would be important here. Maybe Google only gives the name. But also with this should come good results.@freischneider - but the app that @0709 mentioned https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.donutpond.sharecoordinates a few weeks ago for sharing between GM & LM works perfect, so it is definitely not a Google Maps issue (IMHO). My Android version is old (V8) & @joeloc mentions issues with current Android. The developer says up to Android 10.
Quote from: Jan Čapek on August 09, 2023, 13:37:50Because what if you want to find something far away instead? For example New York - there are hundreds of places called like that. The app will never know for sure whether you want to find pub called New York 30km away or New York city in the USA. So it must provide compromise which suits both cases.@Jan. We have to agree to disagree. The online search provides results for countries I don't even have maps for. Crazy stuff. Suggestion - add user preference to sort-by distance, or sort-by "LM4 relevance". Maybe add analytics to see what is the preferred use-case, my money is on the former. As @Joeloc said @ https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=8572.msg72940#msg72940 my online search workflow has now become GMap > share > LM4 because the results make sense.
Quote from: Jan Čapek on August 09, 2023, 13:41:39Yep, it is handy tool, but unfortunately the app isn't compatible with recent Android versions, nor is working offline.@Jan - interesting/ thanks - yet another reason NOT to replace my 2017 phone (despite the very occasional/ rare LM4 deep down code exceptions that are too hard for Menion to fix).
Quote from: freischneider on August 09, 2023, 19:25:11Share GMaps: Now wait for the next version. And then we'll see. The whole writing costs the developers unnecessary time.@freischneider - it was the developer (by mistake) that wrote about online search in this topic. Next version - I had 4.18.0 & waited for what I thought was maybe fixed in 4.18.1. Honest misunderstanding. Sorry.
Search: Here, too, wait and see is the order of the day. Besides, it doesn't belong here. There is a separate topic for this. Therefore no more contributions should come here.
Quote from: Marek Scholtz on August 08, 2023, 08:50:33Now, we have updated also POI handling to new Google Maps format and hopefully they won't change it in a month. If you encounter silly URL in search window in the next release version, check if you are on latest Google Maps version and if yes, let us know.@Marek - am using LM4.18.1 with GMaps (updated just today) & still experience "silly URL in search window". But I have an excellent workaround now from @0709.
Quote from: Jan Čapek on August 08, 2023, 14:38:484) Smart search MUST be able to return result >1000km far away if it might be relevant. You can already filter results to your map area. I don't consider this to be problem@Jan - sorry to sound like a broken record (for those old enough to remember) but why would I (as a user) want to see search results from >1000km at the expense of results I know for sure are closer? Sure, put them at the bottom of the list, but sort by distance surely? MUST?
Quote from: Jan Čapek on August 08, 2023, 14:38:486) Topic with sharing data from Google Maps is only indirectly relevant with search capabilities. First, it is not "meant" to be used this way - it is implemented primarily for sharing data via emails/messagesI only use this as a workaround. The combination of the app that @0709 suggested has really improved this method of sharing greatly.
