It is necessary to look at this from the point of view of the common user, not us who do some testing. From the user's point, the automatic enabling of GPS makes perfect sense.

So I see here two options.
- disable this automatization in Beta versions as I wrote before
- add extra options into Expert settings like "Enable GPS upon the start of guidance" with "true" by default

Is the second option needed, do you want it?

I removed these zoom numbers some time ago for a moment, but on requests, I've added them back.

Seems it is time to remove them completely. "Zoom" as a number is generally nonsense, only what makes sense is how much of the map is visible, so "scale".

Zoom in the top toolbar display "Which map layer is used", not precisely zoom value as you know from OpenStreetmaps. Where the zoom value in this "quick zoom" match scale precisely. So in your case, you have a resolution like when you use any online map at zoom 13, but your vector maps here use data from zoom level 11.

Really really suggest to forget on zoom values and used them only for some bug reports etc. Otherwise, they have no usage mainly in the latest app versions when internally app does not work with zoom values anymore.

I do no like ideas that sound too interesting for me

New Beta version 3.41.0.1 ... just publishing.
- improved "Quick www bookmark", mainly added option to specify the preferred application
- in Track screen > waypoints > new option to edit points
- the first attempt to use Instabug for more easy automatic/manual (just shake with the device) bug-reporting for beta versions.

If there will be question on most complicated part of Locus Map, it will be for sure detail screen for points. The over-complicated old system (more than 5 years old code) with "view" and "edit" in the same screen and huge complexity. I need to split these screens and simplify ... and it will hurt, sorry. In this version is the first attempt simply just for track waypoints. More will come ...

EDIT: John, may you share a link you use? I'll check it.

@menion Thanks. A hidden corner of Locus I'd not explored.

@tapio
hmm probably better this url, thanks. Anyway keep in mind, that I'm able to change it only in samples. In already existing definitions, this won't change.

And @john_percy, we talk about a nice small feature "Quick www bookmark".

Btw. this was recently improved and now supports also Android based intents, like mentioned google.navigation intent. So in this case, it may look like

Code: [Select]

google.navigation:q={mapLat},{mapLon}
which immediately starts the navigation app on current map center > very handy .

Generally, it may be used to some kind of inter-application communication if the second app is able to handle "intents".

@balloni55
I know about this issue and was never able to find out a reason why this happens and also how it solves. Your method seems to cause this always, perfect! Still not sure why this happens, but will be solved in next bug-fix version, thanks a lot!

Presets: perfect.

Czech in TTS is more interesting. Write to me please what is language of your device, language set in Locus Map and TTS engine and language in Locus TTS settings. I'll try to set the same to simulate it ... thanks.

"Live tracking" - Evtl. eindeutschen, ergo zusammenschreiben.

Also ich möchte hier jetzt keine Grundsatzdiskussion vom Zaun brechen, aber warum sollte man das tun?
Es ist ein gängiger englischer Begriff, den man kurz und prägnant wohl nicht sinnvoll ins Deutsche übersetzen kann, da es dann auf Anhieb wohl keiner versteht (obwohl es im konkreten Fall mit "Echtzeitverfolgung" noch einen ziemlich guten deutschen Begriff gibt).
Also ist es, wie auch immer "eingedeutscht", falsch, da es das Wort in der deutschen Sprache so nicht gibt.
Wenn man es aber "eindeutscht", ist es dann aber auch in der englischen Originalsprache falsch.

Ich denke, dass wenn man schon den englischen Begriff nehmen will/muss, dass dieser dann zumindest aber richtig geschrieben wird.

ufff ... I just tried to change something with hope ...

So version 3.40.2 is out as Graf Geo wrote. I'll not answer on the post above as hopefully all reported issues should be solved. Thanks!

Was so ein Regen Tag alles gute hat. Jetzt endlich mal mit dem Tasker, autoinput und autovoice auseinandergesetzt. Dank google und sehr vielen Übersetzungen nun zum Ziel gekommen.

Habe es geschafft damit Tasker die Taste erkennt und autovoice auf Empfang schaltet. Dann spreche ich meine Befehle, diese erkennt autovoice und löst den Task aus um einen Punkt mit einem bestimmten Namen in Locus zu screiben. Es könnte aber auch jeder andere Befehl umgesetzt werden.
Habe ein Video aufgenommen wo man das sieht. Leider ohne Sprache, da sonst die google Spracherkenung nicht mehr funktioniert (das hat lange gedauert bis ich da drauf gekommen bin) Video und Erklärung folgt gleich

Is there a change in action task track record stop with "autosave = on" and no name (don't know if this is relevant). It now gives a track save dialog, before it just silently stopped and saved the track.

I fight with the custom setup of language since we changed app format (since 3.38 version). Still not perfectly solved ... little weird that with the latest two Beta versions, there was no change. Anyway, I'll test it rather once more, thanks @balloni55.

@tapio
problem with centering does not happen in Beta, right?

@Andrew Heard
Not sure if this is equivalent. Maybe consumption will be a little less than during movement. One thing is internal sensors (rotation, gravity etc.) and second thing is that equitation to compute GPS location often works on iteration method and when you do not move, location does not change => compute is faster => less consumed energy. Just guess.

Themes - Vector maps / Re: How to update render themes to V4 Mapsforge maps?

« on: September 29, 2019, 22:33:20 »

"style" (missing in your reference)

Thanks, added it

Anyway because MF project seems not to be dead like in times I started to write own modded version, I'll instead contribute changes back to the official version.

Good news :-)
BTW, are you planning to update the V4-maps engine to mapsforge 0.12.0? This finally adds curved path text rendering, which is great for street names:

Just want to say that applying presets to routing preferences, and resetting afterwards, is a stroke of genius. It's suddenly made presets really useful. Well done.

I just wish it was possible to choose map in presets and not only the theme ........
