Discussion/New features / Update of map core (2019)

« on: February 16, 2019, 13:05:25 »

One of the major problems with maps are caused by really really old system how the app works with map files, online maps, the system for rendering map tiles etc. I decided to update this system to try to solve most of the major problems.

Main info: to test changes is needed special ALPHA version. Currently not yet published, plan is on start of March. Subscribe to receive new information once ALPHA is ready for the test.

Current major visible changes

Implemented

• automatic scaling of all raster maps based on device DPI
• support for custom HDPI online maps, more info

In progress/preparation

• features related to MapsForge V4 maps, more info

Troubles & Questions / Re: Why not connection to Geonaute Dual HRM belt (Decathlon)?

« on: February 11, 2019, 17:43:44 »

Oki, no simple solution in my pocket.

So, I'll need a log created by this method right after device terminates searching/connection to your BT belt.

Give also a try to "Tools > remove association" in same "HRM BT 4.0" view on the screen. it sometimes may help as well. Thanks for the help.

Troubles & Questions / Re: Export POIs to edit them fully in Excel (or another tool)

Hi, try to disable "incl. images & description" in export screen. This should work in your case.

Troubles & Questions / Re: BRouter and route planner problem ?

Stupid that some serious problems depend on the Android version (sometimes it's even worst and problem depends on Android version + manufacturer) ... anyway, even I do not like the purchase of new devices when old still work, I'm glad you have a working solution .

@Magellan
you are the second who wrote me that he likes this panel. It was published more an accident than intent. Its main purpose is for quick access to functions over hardware controller mounted on the bike for example.

I'm still not sure it should be published as the regular function in the app because it duplicated functions panels.

@Erelen
thanks, both issue should be fixed now. It was the side effect of the change in one core library. I was able to "hack" is to good old font spacing.

@Andrew Heard
click on notify panel is not obvious, I know. It is exactly the same system as used in app settings, in Live tracking and now also here. And to be true, I think it is not too important. Main here is toggle button on right panel that turns default settings on/off.

Stop button should be visible only when "repeated notification" is enabled. Anyway seems there is some problem with these notifications on your device. I'm playing with it now maybe 10 minutes, and no problem so far, weird.

@lor74cas
hmm problems with backup system ... always problematic to simulate & fix. In both app versions, you have completely disabled auto-backup feature? Please check it once more, thanks.

Troubles & Questions / Re: track database merge ?

« on: January 25, 2019, 08:31:51 »

Hi,
I'm currently not aware of any tool that is capable to do this.
My best tip is to export tracks into GPX files and backup/re-import them.

Glad to hear it, perfect.

I've made some final improvements and just published the new Beta version, so if anyone interested ... feel free to try it.

We will publish a new final version most probably on Tuesday, so if there will be any problems that worth it to fix, please let me know.

@lor74cas
thanks perfect

@michaelbechtold
hmm, I had in the evening improved speed by maybe another 25%, so next version.
Key? The method is not 100% precise. It searches for nearest trackpoint of tracks. So in case, you will have track points every 500 meters, it may return little incorrect results. But in normal usage, where points are usually every 10 - 50 meters, it should be really precise and mainly FAST .

New version with search V2 in preparation, give me day or two, thanks .

And @tapio, no, no optimization on the database is done in app. SQLite re-use empty spaces in DB after removing content, so some kind of "VACUUM" should not be needed. I have tested it on my maybe 5 year old DB and the result was > size reduced from 250 MB to 240 MB and DB benchmark: no result.

@erfi
thanks, I'll look at it.

@Andrew Heard
search in the current folder is currently not possible

@michaelbechtold
no, nothing like this is done. It was the first quick attempt which gave for me 300 MB database times below 10 seconds. Interesting that your times are so much higher. Maybe database handling in Android 9 is so much faster? Anyway as I do it now, seems this is not the correct way. Other possibilities require an update in the database and a lot more work. Hmm, shame ...

- problem with tap on buttons in POI alert solved. I've also improved icon so it will be in function panel green in case, POI alert is running. Thanks for tip.

- attachments, understand. Little problem. The forum already refuses some updates because it's old, we use old server infrastructure ... needs major update :/

Hi guys, nice feedback, thanks.

I've just today highly improved search in tracks (by distance) and also added "sort by nearest" option for track folders, so hope this helps better handle own imported tracks.

About filtering: I agree that filter for tracks is a lot less powerful then filter for points (mainly caches), but reason: I do not see any useful simply and exactly defined idea on help desk related to this problem, which means for me: no serious interest. And as usually: if I do not need & no interest = not implemented, sorry .

@Andrew Heard
hehe, I know about the problem with the tap on "Start/Stop" button. I have the same and I just forget to test it more. Just click it more than once and it will work.
Link to attach the image ... hmm you are correct. Probably result of the update of this forum system? Fortunately seems that attachment below as you did, works correctly.

@Tapio
notification about more than one point will do not contain info about distance & angle. Not sure if this is wanted. I think that more than one point simply need a map. Notification just helps to find the right moment, when to look on the map.

[CZ&SK] - diskuze o Locusu / Re: Ikonka pro stažení výškových dat pro LoMaps

« on: January 09, 2019, 18:05:15 »

Už to bude tak dávno, že si nejspíš stahování dat nepamatuješ. Jak píše poutník, data jsi musel stahovat ty sám dříve, žádný add-on tohle nedělá.
Jak stáhnout data je popsáno i zde https://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=cz:manual:faq:how_to_add_map_shading#kde_je_ziskat , lze to udělat celkem jednoduše při stahování čehokoliv z Locus Storu.

Discussion/New features / Re: MapsForge maps V4/V5

« on: January 03, 2019, 21:52:13 »

@Tobias
excellent description I needed, thanks .

About themes: Currently, all V3 maps use Locus-MapsForge rendering system, V4+ maps use than MapsForge 0.10.0. So what I may do: allow all V3 and higher themes for V4+ maps oki? I'll look at it.

@freischneider
the mentioned topic is more feature request than some issue in V4 support. Sorry, this does not belong here and sorry second time: this will have to wait a little more.

---

Oki, so first post updated and list sorted by priorities as I feel it. Seems all should be doable. The major problem will be auto-loading system, but ... maybe not so big.

As I wrote on few places, currently I work on some bigger changes in how app work with maps, so expect during February some highly unstable version for testing, hopefully with some changes from this list .

Zelené lišta bude opravena hned v další verzi, akorát jsem ji ráno opravil . Tak snad to pak bude fungovat jak jsi zvyknutý.
