Hi Everyone,

A big thank you to everyone that tried out the recent v20231013 release (it contained a lot of changes I have made over the last 2.75 years!) and thank you everyone for kindly reporting back to me the bugs/issues and things that could be improved further.

I've incorporated the changes and have just updated the sticky "[Theme] OS Map" topic thread with the latest release (see post #1 for updated release notes and details).

I'm hoping I can get this version of the theme into the Locus Map store to make it easier to download and install soon.

Hi Everyone,

Finally the wait is over. After 2.75 years to I have finally completed the update to the OS Map theme.

Please check the main OS Map theme sticky post for more details.

Voluntary theme is now available to install from within the Locus app via the Locus Store once again.

My OS Map theme is close to release, just got to complete the legend files.

I found an issue with using .lnk files, it won't load .pdf files unless they have the same name as the theme.xml, I get a toaster message "Invalid value: <content of .lnk file>".

Any ideas? I'm using the .lnk file to point each theme to the common pdf legend.

@voldapet, I'm happy for the theme to be loaded up to the Locus store (when ready)... is there anything special I should worry about in the theme/zip to enable this?

Hi luxacalor,

I guess you mean the the screenshots of my latest draft of the lomap/oam v4 map theme.

It is pretty close to release now, just working on the pdf legends and final few fixes to the theme.

I was going to update the v3 theme to match, but with the v4 lomaps out now and the difficulty of doing this with less tags available and lack of time on my part, I think I'll leave the v3 map theme stay unchanged.

There is one thing I can't get to work on my phone, using zipped themes. Should work as I have latest Locusmap and android 11...

Watch this space for the new release.

I think the app must become more attractive for Geocaching. I'm personally not interested in it, also I guess Menion doesn't do it. But they are a big and important community. [Removed Apple bashing]
