Hi!

Is it possible to use the route planner on imported tracks, as opposed to only tracks on the base map (e.g., OSM)?

Example: I have a bunch of tracks which represent various (short) sections of a network of off-trail routes that are not present on OSM. How can I plan a route between arbitrary points using these tracks?

Thanks!

Hi,

Is there a way to visualize the coverage of a downloaded tile map (non-vector)? As a way of validating that I downloaded the correct area.

A related question: If I download a map for some area, and afterwards I initiate another download, is Locus smart enough to figure out if the two areas overlap and not download the same tiles again?

Thank you!

[EDIT: FIX FOUND!]

Hi,

I use Locus Map (Version 4.11.1) on Android 12, on a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.
I am trying to access my offline maps stored in Android/data/menion.android.locus/files/Locus/maps/. Why? I am trying to copy them on my GF's phone such that we both have the maps for redundancy.

Now, unfortunately, the recent Android releases make it difficult to access anything in Android/data. However, there are two ways in which I could access the directory: by using android-file-transfer (for Linux) and by using a file manager that has a work-around for Android's restrictions.
I can use both methods to access any file in Android/data. With one notable exception! All of the *.sqlite files in the Locus/maps/ folder yield 0 byte files when I copy them over. The android-file-transfer output shows: "downloading file  "/home/...../foobar.sqlitedb"  failed:  "GetObject: invalid response code GeneralError (0x2002)""

Any ideas why this is? I was suspecting that it could be that Android treats database files differently, especially when the database is opened, but closing the app properly before copying has not made a difference. Thank you!

EDIT: FIX FOUND! A workaround has appeared with the September 2022 version of the app, which is to move the maps to Android/data using the following options
Settings -> Miscellaneous -> Default directories -> Set custom sub-directories -> [select maps directory, or mapsVector, or whatever you need] -> Private "Android/media" folder.
