Troubles & Questions / Re: Point is not stored

« on: October 23, 2019, 22:18:07 »

Hi again.

"Nothing to download" happens a lot with the GC Offlinizer; many caches simply don't have any images.  I don't see anything unusual there.

I'll clarify my earlier comments.  G4L's "live map" feature creates temporary cache objects that aren't stored in any named folder; they can be expected to disappear soon.  I've never tried to "offlinize" a live-map cache and don't know what would happen; that would be making an expected-to-be-permanent change to something that'll disappear shortly.

If you want to "offlinize" caches, or manually make changes (eg adding multi waypoints), you should be doing this to permanently stored waypoints, eg in a named folder.  You can get caches into named folders by loading PQs, by bulk-downloading in G4L ("nearest"), or one-by-one using the copy-to feature from a live-map cache.

Hope that makes sense.    I generally do everything offline with PQs, which works quite well.

I've spend almost two days on speed up of the cold start itself.

Holey moley, that's fast now!  No problems seen with RC2 on my Android 6 / Nexus 7 with its motley collection of maps, points, etc.

It was only a quick test, all I had time for.  Cheers..

@menion
It does seem to be an MF problem. At least I found someone reporting the same artefact with MF two years ago.

@balloni55
why is the problem with geocaching solved? Found something useful?

I think that the data consumption was caused by the online map overlay being switched on.
but I'll be watching.

Live tracking / Re: live-tracking.locusmap.app web page

« on: July 22, 2019, 18:26:59 »

Hello guys,
sorry for the delay and no news. We have problems with the company which should have made the fixes and update but they are communicating again and promised to fix couple of issues.

Please if you have any problem related to the core LT functionality which can be reproduced in Locus Map directly (ie. not just concerning the web page itself), report it as a bug on our help desk so that I could get more information like your LT group identification and your Locus account info and solve the problems one by one.

@Andrew Heard
As for seeing your position multiple times, are you really using the same Locus account and the same Android device? Has the device been factory reset or rooted in the meantime? Or was the subscription really the only thing that has changed? If that is the case I would like to know (by a private email or PM) the name of the group and your email address that is linked with your Locus account if possible, thank you.

@lor74cas
I could not reproduce the behaviour but I will have to look again if you could reproduce it consistently.
You are right that the expected behaviour of the LT should be to increase the error count when there is no connection during the expected position refresh. But at the moment the actual behaviour is to don't even try if there is no Internet connection so that is why the numbers do not increase at all and that is not necessarily a bug (depending on your expectation). Still the position should update as soon as you connect to the network regardless of the app state, that indeed seems like a bug if that happens.
Again if you could please create a problem in our help desk, linking this topic so that we could solve it separately as it does not seem to concern the new LT web page problems.

Thank you

@menion

The first short test already looks very good.
The recalculation worked and the [Calculation...] banner disappears after a short time.
Very good!
If the long test also runs like this... .

Supplement:
The first longer test was also successful. 

Thank you
Mips

I did a lot of v4 map switching and they all load quickly. No white boxes etc. I am happy about the vector map system again. There's just that text bug (cut text) on first load of area, as John already mentioned. Thx for your hard work!

Troubles & Questions / Re: Google Navigation support

« on: June 21, 2019, 10:59:52 »

@arisoft
To make sure we are clear, once you have got the pop up context menu, select Detail. This gives the point detail screen that Menion refers to. At the bottom of that you can tap on a number of options including a navigate icon and a share icon. The navigate icon gives me a number of options (including Google directions and Streetview). This depends however on Locus recognising your other installed apps. Otherwise, as Menion says, tap on the Share icon and share with other map apps.

Hi Menion,

thank you for the new beta. The hill shading works perfectly now - even with more than 3000 HGT files.

Best regards,

Themes - Vector maps / [Theme] TOTM Mapsforge (for V4 and higher)

« on: June 16, 2019, 18:59:41 »

Tiramisù as OpenTopoMap

for the topography, and exploration on the maps

only for V4 maps!

For V3 (lomaps and other)  TOTM 1.9.2 - > https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=6027.0

in the future it will be slightly improved:

• all water except springs (rivers, streams, lakes, canals, etc.)
• all railway and tram
• all labels
• setting priorities
• streets, driveways and younger roads in the direction of greater elegance (at the moment - too thick)

on my smartphone 282 ppi, 320 dpi

It also works well on Oruxmap, Cruiser, and most likely in other mapsforge-compatible programs
(tested in Oruxmaps 7.4.22, Cruiser 1.7)

Map: ESRI satellite;  Overlay 85%: OAM Ural ML;  Layer "Terrain" in the theme is OFF

Waiting for comments and constructive criticism.

@lor74cas: The hgt-files provided by Locus are the 3 arcsecond which have "just" a Resolution of about 75 meters. Here http://data.opendataportal.at/dataset/dtm-italy you could download the ones of Italy and other countries with 1 arcsecond which equals about 25 m resolution. This should generate finer shadows at sealevel lines and also even more precise altitude information in rocky terrain.

But if you won't provide further information (map, coordinates) as told you twice now, nobody will be able to reproduce a possible bug or could give you further advices.

@slarti76
- during last days I've found a few more problems with maps, so you issue with OruxMaps may be the same, already fixed, issue.

Thx, but I think the real problem was what I wrote later about the magnifying: I was already in highest available zoom level, and then it didn't do anything, no matter what the (raster) map.

- the switch is in advanced settings.

Ah, I see the misunderstanding. It says "Optimize raster map resolution... based on dpi". I thought there was a switch to turn off the whole dpi concept, but I remember you don't want to keep the old system at all, so obviously no switch. All fine!

- the problem in route planner: this happens on both your devices? Seems you have some super-huge screen resolution, it is on your Note 4?

Actually, I could solve the issue with a "Clear Cache" from Android's App Info for Locus. Thx to Tapio, who mentioned possible caching issue - that seems to have been it. I think, whenever there is something wrong with icons, you should first clear cache. Can't hurt, anyway...
