New beta 4.35.0.6 (thanks):

Settings > GPS & sensors > Sensors Manager > blue Plus Button: Locus crashes

BRouter z. B.
https://brouter.m11n.de

Bei "Tracks oder Route importieren" den Button "Route erstellen" wählen.

Eine gpx Datei schließt solche Informationen nicht ein. Es ist vereinfacht gesagt nur eine Koordinatenliste. Beim Import wird diese nur als "Linie" angezeigt, wie ein aufgezeichneter track, der die Oberflächen auch nicht anzeigt.
Aus der gpx muss also wieder eine Route erstellt werden. Locus macht das nicht, brouter (und manche anderen Apps) bietet das an.

Some more feedback on the new V2 Vector maps:

If I copy a URL whilst the new V2 vector map is active and a LoPoint is open (e.g. as a bookmark), no other LoPoints are loaded when I click on the link. With the raster maps, however, they are:

Thanks for the new beta!

Track Details Panel: the recalculation of elevation data is now updated immediately (see helpdesk).

Unfortunately, this does not apply to changes to the elevation threshold (slider). Here, you still need to close and reopen the panel to see the change...

"map overlay photo/video folder picker now reopens in the last folder you browsed": better, but favourites would still be useful. If you need a completely different folder, you still have to laboriously work your way through everything.

Whilst I do think the advantages of LM4 over LM3 clearly outweigh the disadvantages, some of the issues you've highlighted are valid, and if those are important to you, it's understandable that you'd prefer to use LM3 (again).

LM4 displays all the track information straight away; one of LM3's advantages is that the information on track points can be accessed more quickly. I'd also have liked the timestamp for the track point I clicked on to be displayed more easily or immediately – it's actually more fiddly in LM4. This has already been pointed out several times here in the forum and/or on the helpdesk.

Apologies for jumping in here briefly:

I imagine that macfrank is missing the ability to adjust the vertical scale or zoom in on the elevation graph. It would be useful for taking a closer look at a short section of incline or decline; I sometimes find myself wishing for that option too. Perhaps something can be done about it.

Es gibt eine Möglichkeit, einen gehighlighteten Track in der Vollbildkarte zu sehen. Habe ich eher zufällig bemerkt.

Klicke den gewünschten Track an. Im Track-Infopanel auf das Wegpunkt-Icon klicken (unten links). Dann den Android Zurück-Button klicken oder das Wegpunkt-Panel nach unten wischen. Voilà.

Beta 4.35.02
Augmented Reality: Locus crashes immediately

Some really great improvements! 👍👍

One of the best features is the option to fix and view the elevation chart separately and zoom in on it directly. At last. 🙂

And now you can also move attachments (media) in the 'Reorder Sections' menu. Very good!

I'd also like to be able to sort the charts freely in the overview or hide individual ones, but perhaps that's still to come.

Have a lovely weekend! 🌞

[Edit:]

Thanks! So far, I've only tested it in a mobile browser (Vivaldi). I can't really tell the difference between raster and vector maps. Both work equally well. With vector maps, you sometimes notice a slight difference in the speed at which map elements are rendered (relief first, labels last), but we're talking milliseconds... On the other hand, zooming is a bit smoother. But the differences are marginal. I'll test it on my PC later.

In the base maps overview, the highlight for the selected map could be a bit clearer/more prominent.

Can I hope that the vector maps will soon allow for layers that can be shown or hidden? Cycling routes, hiking trails, hillshading, etc.?

Edit: On a PC, too, the differences described above are minimal or barely noticeable.

Thanks for the update.

When I zoom in with two fingers or move the chart in the chart overview, Locus crashes.

"REORDER SECTIONS"

Maybe this way: 

"REORDER SECTIONS" FOR THE TRACK WINDOW

First of all, thanks for this initial configuration option!

I agree, please make it possible to hide or disable sections.

And is it possible to split the "Details" section? I don't need the line type in the info window (I can see that on the map), only in the edit menu. The same applies to "Activity" – I don't need that in most cases.

And it would be brilliant if you could save the settings for each folder individually. I don't need a elevation chart for my jogs or walks around town, but I certainly do for hill or mountain walks. 🙂

The display of the track info panel in landscape mode is a very welcome improvement. At last, you can view the track and the elevation profile at the same time when geotagged photos are enabled. You can then scroll through the panel (albeit a bit clunky). Funnily enough, the scroll position (not exactly, but roughly) is retained when you switch back to portrait mode.

Edit: The new landscape view only works for tracks, not for points. Or not yet?

What I don't like so much is the new font for the track title. It now seems even larger than before and therefore takes up even more space, especially with multi-line titles.
