Stay with 4.28 and don't update via Playstore.

I cannot confirm this. All the relevant tracks are found when I search for "2022-0", for example.

Quote from: Andrew Heard on February 12, 2025, 22:22:12@Graf Geo - BTW are you part of the LM team, or just a keen tester/ user?

Just a normal user who likes to try out new developments. ;)

@Andrew Heard: In the new MyLib version RC23, the red badge is still there (you are right, the "setting" icon is not ideal), but the orange-coloured message no longer appears. As I have only just started testing the new version, I hope that this will be confirmed permanently.
I actually think the badge is superfluous. There is still a question mark in the centre of the button and the GPS icon is informative enough (white = off, yellow = on but no fix and green = on and fix). In addition, the lock symbol is not visible, although its function is retained.

@Menion: the dual centering button now leads back to the last known position when hardware GPS is off or there is no signal, right? (In MyLib RC23. See here.)

I have sorted my folders manually. But when I want to move a track/point/folder, the list of folders in the destination folder is sorted alphabetically again.

It would be clearer and better if the manual sorting was retained.

I agree. Folders, Tracks and Points:  newest first = standard would be better.
But track length or elevation gain I prefer standard = longest/highest first.
I imagine most users want to see their best performance first.

See 2 posts above: Again problems with rerouting manual segments

Same issue with "normal" beta 4.28.0.2  :(

Hmm, I'm not happy with the new behaviour of the Map Centering button in 4.28.0.2.

The fact that you can deactivate the automatic switching on of the GPS in the Expert Settings is ok.

What is not ok for me is that clicking the Map Centering button no longer jumps to the last location when hardware gps is off or there is no GPS reception.

I usually plan from home (indoors) or from my holiday accommodation. Then I have usually switched off gps in the device on purpose, or have no signal anyway. However, I want to be able to quickly centre the map on my last current location at any time with a single click. So far this has worked wonderfully.

Now it no longer works, the map stays where it is. In addition, the annoying orange question (toast) appears asking whether gps is switched on.

I don't know whether others find this so useful. In any case, I would like to have the option of at least getting the previous behaviour here via a setting.

Again problems with rerouting manual segments!

Last year in April, the option was created to retain manual segments during recalculation. See this topic.

In the current MyLib version RC20 this no longer works (although the setting is set). See ss. This happens when the route is first saved and then recalculated.

(Whether the normal beta is also affected, I cannot test at the moment).

Hallo Mattin,

bei mir läuft normalerweise LocusMap stets "als Service". Wenn ich Locus dann in den Hintergrund verfrachte (andere App öffnene oder Locus aus dem "App-Stapel" rauswische", wird es nicht komplett beendet und in der Android-Benachrichtigungsleiste verbleibt das Locus-Icon. ("Locus Map wird ausgeführt"). Darüber kann ich Locus jederzeit wieder schnell in den Vordergrund holen.

Doppelklick auf die Zurücktaste schließt (bzw. beendet) Locus. Dann ist kein Locus-Icon mehr in der Android-Benachrichtigungsleiste. Wenn ich dann auf Locus im App-Stapel klicke, wird es komplett neu gestartet.

Aber vermutlich willst du was anderes. Und ist ja auch egal, wenn es nun für dich passt. ;)

Edit: Sorry, @freischeider war schneller. ;)

@ Mattin: Zweimal den Zurück-Button klicken beendet Locus komplett.

In den Einstellungen kann man sich optional eine Bestätigung anzeigen lassen, dass man wirklich beenden will. (Expert settings, erster Eintrag.)

search problem > this is interesting. I'm testing it quite a lot and can't simulate it  :-\

Hello Menion,

Since I can reproduce the problem reported by MickFU with the search, here is an explanation: It is about search strings within a word in the title. For example, a point with the title "Good morning point".  :)

If I now search for "orn" or "ood", the point is only found if "also search in description" is activated. See screenshots 1 - 3.

Many thanks for the update! The search in points and tracks now works reliably and only looks at the titles and descriptions. Very good!

Of course you could think about adding an option to search in via points (not in shaping points!), as you can name them yourself and also in file names of attached files (photos/audios/videos). So of course not in the cryptic code as before.😉 But that would probably complicate the whole thing and in this respect it is good as it is now.

Regarding copy and move operations: I would actually just like to have a way to quickly and easily find the desired destination folder in a nested folder system. It doesn't really matter how this is done. In this post, I already suggested another option that would help here.

Maybe you'll find an easy-to-implement variant in the future.

The only thing missing now is cloud synchronisation with the web server, then the MyLib version is pretty much perfect! But that's coming soon. 🙂

Have a nice weekend!

I think your description of the situation in Germany with regard to restrictions in nature reserves and national parks is exaggerated and pure nonsense (sorry).

There are very few areas in Germany with strict restrictions or even bans on entering them. Sure, sometimes you have to stay on the paths and keep your dog on a lead and you're not allowed to light a fire, which I think makes perfect sense. In a densely populated country like Germany, there should be a few areas where nature is left in peace. But maybe you really want to go cross-country mountain biking, wild camping or quad biking everywhere. I just had to get that out there. 😉

I find that it's stricter in many countries, even in Europe. (Poland, Spain, Czech Republic...)

On the subject: Yes, if it's important to you, the borders could perhaps be emphasised more clearly. On the other hand, it can quickly become too conspicuous and spoil the visual impression of the map. I'm happy with the display as it is.

You can also try out other themes, some of which emphasise these areas more clearly. Or customise a theme according to your own wishes.
