The last two months were full of bigger changes. Thanks to all for the big help.
I'm ready to fine-tune some details next week. No bigger changes are planned for now.

[BIG]

Hello people,
this topic is BIG. Really. At least because we have been working on it since Jan 2024.

Welcome early version of the new My Library system.

So we (Android) are first and may influence behavior on all three platforms, nice .

Major changes
- points and tracks may be in the same folders
- possibility for deeper nesting of folders
- completely reworked UI

The last point will be most problematic I'm sure. We discussed this a lot, so please keep in mind, that everything has its reason. I'll anyway gladly discuss any suggestions.

Please, focus on important things for now, that may be hardly changed later. Old manager was fine-tuned for years, so this will also be a task for next years.

---

How to test it

IMPORTANT
Installation of the new version modifies the points/tracks database so it will become backward-INcompatible!

Don't blame me for data loss or possible problems. If you worry, do not test this now!!!

EDIT: this version has disabled "Cloud sync" because our web server is not yet 100% ready!!!

Method no 1 (recommended)
- separate device, where this version may be installed and tested
- immediately after installation, restore the backup from your main device
- after re-start, the app will do a database conversion

Method no 2 (only for skilled users)
- backup current data and keep this safe
- update the current public version
- start, the app will do a database conversion
- easy ... but the next public Locus Map 4 version won't see your data! So after the next update to the public version, you will have to restore old data (+ manually delete Locus/data/database/myLibrary.db!!)

Method no 3 (for all)
- if there is interest, I may record a short video to preview how this all looks. So no need to install and test anything. Just let me know ...

Test version on Google Drive in "my library V2" sub-directory.

Uff, good luck to all of us .

[Warning]

After many years, mainly thanks to the strong push from motorcycle users on the help desk (and my own big curiosity about how this may work), I've decided to create support for Android Auto systems (not Automotive for now).

Firstly, it works and with some tweaks, I believe it will be usable!

Secondly, the whole system is really limited, and it's usually quite hard to find out, how something may be done. So be aware, that many ideas you will have simply can't be implemented for technical reasons.

How to test it: simply update the latest Locus Map 4 version with the APK file from our Google Drive directory ("auto" subdirectory). Locus Map should then appear on your car/motorcycle dashboard.

Warning: it is really an Alpha version that needs a lot of field testing. I sit more on the bike than car, so your help is needed, thanks!

Versions
27. 9. 2023 - Locus 4.19.0

[Starting version]

I would like to introduce one major improvement we are preparing now.

Starting version
Test: Beta 4.18.2.2.
Production: 4.19.0?

Customization
We all know customization options for offline LoRouter & BRouter like "Wet conditions", "Avoid highways" etc.
Improvements we bring are the same options also for the online router + inner flexible system that will bring more customizations, firstly for online, later offline router.

Now we also introduce the first "Terrain tailor" parameter that allows customization of the required MTB track difficulty (currently only for online LoRouter).

You cannot view this attachment.

Please keep in mind, that I plan soon completely rewrite the screen with the setup of routers & routing parameters (screenshot above) so excuse UI & its usability for now.

Warnings
Because along the route, there are usually a lot of important and problematic places, the app will try to inform you about it. So now you may see these places as icons or cross-lines along the planned and saved route.

You cannot view this attachment.

Currently also only over the online LoRouter.

---

This is the kind of feature that will never be done. There will always be something more to report or customize. We already have quite a long list of parameters we want to add there. Suggestions are of course welcome, but are not too important for now. Important is to have a working reliable system that is prepared for adding new parameters. Thanks for reading!
