@tapio - like in https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=9096.msg76909#msg76909 - "shit happens" - sometimes very suddenly.

@tapio - it's a ticking timebomb. I had a similar experience with a PC program 10 years ago - tried to migrate to a new PC but the activation was tied to a phone # that no longer existed. Completely destroyed my investment.

I'll have to rename the first search option to something different as it stops being "only" online search.

@Menion whoa ;-) yep, completely missed the Settings button at the top of the results

check the screenshot, please. You may see our attempt to integrate multiple search systems into one.

very interesting; agree with Tapio; will this be a 1-stop-shop instead of all the search types (online, offline adr, offline place, locale, contact...)?

At present the device needs to be online to search for offline settings/ features. Are you considering being able to adaptively search for offline, when device is offline?

have you tried the online base search (in latest app version) and here write "backup"?

@Menion - V4.26.2 - online base search? no haven't tried & not sure what it is. My list has online, offline adr, offline place, locale, contact, pts, tracks, wiki, w3w, geo. Nothing sounds like "base". Maybe you mean online place search? I can't see why that would return settings or functions. I tried anyway with "backup", but nothing relevant. Sorry if dumb question.

Regards search in functions & settings: as mentioned previously, main menu > All features > Search: "backup" - does not show any result?! It's not intuitive in my opinion that "Backup manager" is found from Settings. Backup manager is as much (more) a function, than a "setting".
You cannot view this attachment.
How about any search shows all results from both "functions" & "settings" in one list?

@Michal - the 1st images in https://www.locusmap.app/new-locus-map-4-26-dynamic-offline-lomap-rotation-and-other-features-not-only-for-cyclists/ doesn't display?

I'd never noticed that menu option before - thanks.

Still thinking it should be united?

Get rid of this forum and discuss everything on the help desk?

Is it doable? Hmmm ... 

@menion - the post before mine was clearly spam, with all the unrelated links, I was only commenting to delete the post; - sorry for any confusion; I see it's been deleted now; I'm happy with the status quo (forum & help desk).

delete the above

Text rotation: excellent! But as @Tapio already wrote, the map jerks when rotating, in small fixed angle steps.

for what it's worth reporting, the rotation is all good for me

web planner does not fill elevation to imported data. We do not have a fast online "Fill elevation" tool (yet). So original data should be preserved.

@Menion confirmed. That's a good result. If I use higher precision Sonny HGT then I want it preserved when sync to other devices that only have default HGT files.

- chg: customizable speed for MTB, Gravel and Touring bikes in LoRouter

@Menion - are these profiles still maintained in https://github.com/asamm/brouter/tree/asamm/locus-routing-profiles? For example
https://github.com/asamm/brouter/blob/asamm/locus-routing-profiles/LoTouring.brf was last changed 9 months ago, so I guess the latest changes must be stored elsewhere? I was going to see how the customizable speed could be incorporated into 3rd party .BRF files.

for my "alternate" routes I simply "save as" a new track for each different routing profile - sometimes road bike/ touring/ small roads/ velo

version before the weekend. Let's call it "Beta 4.25.1.7, Release Candidate".

wow - huge release!!
very nice on the touring routing profile speed; default 20km/h was much too fast

I remember, too, this has been discussed. However, turned down. For a good reason: hgt 1" on ext SD can already be a performance challenge, let alone putting unzip on top of that. Not feasible.

@michaelbechtold I currently have Sonny France 2.4GB .HGT files in "internal" memory i.e. not ext. SD. The ZIP equivalent is 635MB. Not feasible due to CPU processing speed or RAM or what?

Can someone please tell me when I import a route (track) into Locus web planner whether the track point elevations <ele> are maintained? I have just downloaded Sonny DTM France 1asec v3 HGT files (2.4GB!!) in order to improve the slope accuracy of some planned routes.

Code Select Expand

<trkpt lat="-42.8609208" lon="147.2951480">
<ele>36.86</ele>
<time>2023-12-31T23:04:44.000Z</time>
</trkpt>

At one section, in LM4 the slope is 7% whereas the web planner is showing stupid 31%.

Extra question: is it possible yet to keep each HGT file within a ZIP file? I know it has been discussed & I did a search but could find no answer. I could test myself, but it's pretty slow. I suspect not possible.

@Graf Geo - thanks. I have all 3 Route Warnings off, but I still get Warning icons in the saved track. And as explained to @0709 if I tap any POI in the Route Planner, I also get those POI(s) in the list of Waypoints.
