Hi,

New bug (edit as noted below):

Track editor Route planner > Select start > My location

Does not work any more

LG uk

I don't like the new colors for the track in "Colored Gradient." I'm having trouble following the course of the track. The colors are very pale. With the old colors, I could see the track much more clearly, and I could spot steep sections much more easily. They stood out right away.

Hi @Menion,

@slarti76
I'm probably still confused. All seems to work correctly to me.
My situation: current GPS location in Prague, search for "Kyiv" clearly displays 1130km to the east. Arrow correctly rotates as I rotate with the phone. App Settings > Miscellaneous> Default search/sort location settings have no effect here. GPS or the last known location is always used in the search screen.

Do you have the same experience?

This is, what I meant by confusing. This always confused me, but the discussion triggered the report.

Compare the 2 screens. On the map (without rotation, north up) I use for planning, Götzendorf is to the left (west, blue arrow)

In the search screen from the position I was sitting, Götzendorf is up (because I was facing west when sitting)

I find it confusing because when planning I don't know where north actually is, but I have a map with fixed orientation. So I would expect the search screen arrows to point on the direction, where I find the results on the map.

I think, it depends on the vertikal and horizontal orientation of the phone, the arrows turns depending on both.

Now I get it: It's not screen orientation, it's phone orientation! They arrows actually turn when I rotate the phone. I guess that makes sense for closer destinations, not so much looking for a far away city. 

The main misunderstanding is that I'm thinking "planning", but the actual purpose is "on the road".
I think ideal would be to have two modes:

• On the road: As now, direction from current location, using phone orientation
• Planning: From current map center, using static compass directions

But I admit, probably too much effort for small detail...

Testing and thinking about it:

When the map is locked in "north up", the search should also respect that and show the arrow with respect to north up. (To be consistent with the map shown)

When map rotation is on, then the search should behave like it does now.

I think, this would resolve most of the confusion. Search should simply behave like the actual behavior of the map

Serious Bug in 4.33.0.12: Route recalculation during navigation is broken:

• At first everything is fine. Track shown on the map, instructions

• If I take a wrong turn, It still looks ok. ? in the top left corner
  You cannot view this attachment.
• Now it starts getting weired: New Instructions appear in the top left corner, but the (new) track is gone on the map. Also the Dashboard Stats for the navigation have disappeared (time left, distance left, etc.)
  You cannot view this attachment.
• And after the next turn, navigation has disappeared and stopped all together

This is pretty bad, since it makes navigation rather unusable.

Regards search > this is not a new week's work. We've planned it and worked on it for more than a year. I'll push my colleague to give a full explanation here, if needed. Anyway, suggest testing it and thinking about what situations it complicates and if there is an option to keep the new system as is and provide some kind of shortcuts. I can imagine, for example, editing coordinates directly in the "Edit point screen" etc.

For my Usecase it would be an option to populate the search result list (before the search is done) with a list of "prefered Locations" instead of some (arbitrary looking) search results.

ah,so the edit of coordinates > this is a big change in recent Beta versions. We completely removed the old "Grid" screen and integrated all into the search screen. No functionality should be lost, and all features are directly in the top row. So the edit of coordinates, projection etc., is all at the top row.

For me - in the context of Navigation - this is a step back. When I do navigation, I rarely use the search to find the destination. However I have some pre-saved locations (Home, Office, Parents, ...) that were in the Grid - reachable with a direct tap.

Now since all of it is cramed in the top 10% of the screen it is much smaller and I have to swipe left&right to find the proper pre-saved location.

Suggestion would be to have a little more space (like 3 lines or something for the pre-saved locations + Buttons

Isn't the problem with the dashboard already solved in the latest Beta version?

Unfortunately no. The bubbles are gone, but the dashboard still draws over the guidance/navigation panel, intercepting clicks.

Hi,

I found a dashboard issue: the dashboard draws over the guidance/navigation icons in the top left corner. In guidance this is especially problematic, since the icon is not clickable (covered by the dashboard). Biggest problem with that: I can't stop guidance mode.

I think, this started when the new graphs layout started in the dashboard. In older versions, this was not an issue.

Locus Map 4.33.0.6 (1211)

Some nice additional and risky versions before the holidays.

Locus store is broken for me. It is stuck in the loading screen. And when I click on the profile button top right, locus crashes.

thanks for the great job you have done. The two finger zooming of the chart is great. Nevertheless, "gestures" are a nice weather respectively an indoor feature always causing trouble outdoors: Rain on the display, gloves when its cold etc. makes it very difficult to use gestures. Insofar I support Graf Geos suggestion of additional zooming buttons like before.

Since I use Locus as a bike computer/Navi I second this idea to have buttons.

Hmm, I see no problem here. Both maps version 2024+? No other vector Czech or Slovak map in the device? Auto-loading for vector maps in the settings enabled?

Today I noticed the same between Austrian and Hungarian offline maps. No automatic loading.

Hi there!

I'm out in the woods right now on a hike and figured out that the "keep the position" get lost as soon as I zoom in or out. Can someone confirm this, please? Thanks.

4.32.0.7

I think, it is because you have "hold map center" turned off (no lock on the center symbol. Can you confirm this?

I'll probably have to update this screen to the new system we use for UI. I consider this a minor problem. Will try to look at it, but can't promise a quick solution for now. Thanks for understanding.

I also consider it a minor problem. I just wanted to note it for completeness, so that you are aware of the issue. 👍

greetings, Ulrich

Not crashing even with Dashboard on. Android 10

Thanks, so the Android version could in deed be a contributing factor. 🤔👍
