Hi,

I'm using Locus Map 4. With the latest LoMap update for "Germany North" (2022.08.15), I suddenly see strange blue areas (with diagonal white lines) in at least one certain map area that is formed like a rectangle (they are no lakes or something). See screenshots. The blue areas are not solid, more like usually blank spots between green areas (e.g. forests). That wasn't there with the previous map version. I don't see the rectangle with the blue spots anywhere else on the Germany LoMaps.


I'm using the internal map themes. But it doesn't matter which one I select. The blue area stays. Only when using an external theme, the map appears normal. Is there an update for the internal themes that I have to install as well? Or is it a glitch in the map?

Cheers,

Mac

Troubles & Questions / Google Drive access
January 18, 2022, 09:44:24
Hi,

I'm using the latest Locus Map 4 (Gold) on a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra (Android 12, One UI 4.0). I'm pretty sure the following issue started showing after system changes with the latest Android updates.

Since one of the latest updates (either Android or Locus Map) my (track and settings) backup is not getting uploaded to Google Drive anymore. I logged out of Google Drive (from within the Backup Manager panel) and logged back in (confirmed login and all). The Google Drive directory shows. But still no upload starts when I manually save all settings although the last backup is older than the given time (7 days). Until a couple of days ago even little changes e.g. to my tracks where uploaded almost immediately to Google Drive. Something broken there?

Cheers,
Mac

Edit: Switched to Dropbox too. Nothing. I can't find the local zip file either (manual nor automatic).

Hi,

I'm using the latest Locus Map 4 (Gold) on a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra (Android 12, One UI 4.0). I'm pretty sure the following issue has occured due to system changes with the latest Android updates. But I guess there should be a fix. Maybe it's already in the making?

When importing GPX files, from time to time I used to import multiple tracks at once - using the track panel, "plus" button, import, internal memory and then select multiple files in the file browser. With the current version I can select only one file at a time. So importing multiple tracks has become quite a hassle. Importing from outside Locus Map (selecting multiple files in a file manager and then "share" to or "open with" Locus Map) isn't much better either, only one of the selected files ends up in my tracks. Although I believe that's not much different from before: importing multiple files from outside never worked properly to begin with. Now from inside unfortunately is off the table for now as well.

Cheers,

Other features / New track popup
May 09, 2021, 16:25:59
Hi,

I really like the new track popup in the latest Locus 4. One thing I'm missing though is the info how many km are still to go at that specific point of the track, and also how many have already been completed there. That information used to show up every time I clicked on any point of a track right away. Can I enable that somewhere in the settings? Or am I just not seeing this in the popup? I know, the elevation profile shows it on the x-axis. But that's rather coarse.
Sorry if the question already came up. I didn't find anything with the words I'm using here or was just inept to do so.

Cheers,
Mac

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of the Locus Map Watch add-on and the latest Pro Version 3.5 on Android as well as the Beta 4. I set sending data to the add-on whenever needed. Still, in both versions it always takes a few seconds to show my correct position on the watch or to show it at all when I wake up the display of the watch. Is there a way of speeding this up?

Regards,
Mac

Edit: The app on the phone shows my position almost immediately when turning on the screen. The app itself is not allowed to go to sleep in the background, and is active according to the L-icon in the notification bar of the phone.
