Zdravím @Harwey,

vďaka za report! Problém som nasimuloval a v ďalšej verzii by už mal byť opravený.

There are still issues with the global search for LoPoints with defined area. See this post and here in the helpdesk.

Expert settings -> Center on point OFF

If the searched object is a normal LoPoint outside the screen, a red circle with an arrow appears and if I click on it, I can select the element (click on the square icon) and the map jumps there. After closing the LoPoint slide panel, the map remains there. Ok. 

If the searched object is a LoPoint with defined area outside the screen, the map immediately jumps to this LoPoint and opens the slide panel.
But: I can't stay at the position I'm looking for. If I click the Android back button or swipe down the panel, the map jumps back to the last position before the search.
If I click on the arrow to the left of the search title (name of the LoPoint) in the slide panel, I return to the search list.

It is not possible for the map to remain at the searched LoPoint.

Supplement: the problem does not occur in the iOS version.

Hi @Graf Geo  ,

your problem should be fixed in the next release.

4.29.0.7
search > online > category > "Supermarket" > return map - OK
search > online > category > "Food & drink" > return map - but the new category is ignored, the slide up bottom panel still displays supermarkets
bug?

Hi, @Andrew Heard,

thank you for your report. The problem should be solved in the next release version.

Hi @Graf Geo,

you are right, there is no way to edit caption when the photo is already uploaded. Implementation of this feature does not have high priority for now, but we will consider it in future plannings.

It works!!
99% flawlessly.
The 1% is at app-start and changes if some fullscreen-dialog is entered  e.g. settings, so it's more 0.5%.
This 0.5% was solved once, but sometimes things change.
It's just feedback to optimize LM.
If you have doublechecked the mechanism and code and it's superduper-tricky at all, then nothing to complain and good to know.
I just have coded too much in my life to sometimes not recognize unknown barriers.

Hi @T-mo,

thank you for your feedback! Your problem should be resolved in the next version. Please, let us know afterwards.

Hi @balloni55,

the option is visible only on Android 13+, because on lower versions the system is properly asking which camera app you want to use for capturing photo or recording video. On Android 13+, system automatically opens your system camera app so you are not able to choose third-party camera apps.

@Andrew Heard

The fix will be available in the next version.

Hi guys,

@freischneider @Graf Geo @Andrew Heard @Tapio @joeloc

thank you for your feedback, that at least red push pin works. Now, 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.

Hi guys,

handling Google Maps share button should be fixed. Please check the next version of Locus Map and if you still encounter some problems, please let us know.

Hi @joeloc, @Andrew Heard

which version of Google Maps app are you using? It seems that there were changes in what is Google sharing from app.

Hi guys,

there were some small changes in handling point sharing from Google Maps to Locus Map. If you encounter problems also in next version, please, let us know.

[4.16.0.3]

Hi guys, new version 4.16.0.3 has been released with some fixes and improvements. Thank you for feedback!

@Tapio
2. It is definitely not the end of search rework. 🙂
3. For places third party service is used, so we don't have full control over it.
5. Yes, it was shaking for years, so we disabled animation.
(8.) if you are zoomed enough and all points from the selected category are already displayed, we show also points from another categories. There is the same solution on web.
(9.) Should be discussed next weeks.

Hi @settler, thank you for question.

Fullscreen mode was added to Locus, when Android did not support translucent status bar and navigation bar. Both system bars were pinned to the screen without possibility to style them. The only option was to hide them to increase space for application (fullscreen mode). Over time, options to style system bars were added and also from 2018 there are many devices with notch, which are unusable with fullscreen mode, because some important UI elements are hidden behind notch. So we decided to delete fullscreen mode from application and improve UI in map screens, so the map is properly visible behind system bars in both orientations. On the other screens, fullscreen mode does not make sense at all.
