I noted that whenever I made a new waypoint, it would ask me to enter a name..
is there a function I can enable so that it will auto put in number (example :- 001, then 002, then so forth) that will increment with each waypoint I made?

thanks..

question for Menion..

dude, is there a future plan to make LOCUS recognize IMG files as custom maps?

So, you probably missundertstood the part about the tracks on OSM.

People like you are recording tracks. No need to have an internet connection for this. When they are back at home, the export their tracks from their device and put them into their PC. They use the mapping software from OSM to load these tracks into it. These tracks are displayed as layers. Along these layers they can create roads, paved roads, highways, rivers, lakes and so on. Whatever fits to the track they have recorded. When they are finished, they usually promote the data to OSM.
You only have to find a way to export these maps into some format, that is supported by Locus.

About map calibration: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=377
Try out yourself

I think the on map calibration would be a good way to do things the way I wanted.. problem is, I am using locus Free..

my co-worker, who uses pro is the one that introduced me Locus, and the ONE who bugged me to ask you guys these questions (ok ok, I admit,
I wanted to ask them too.. haha)..

guess I'll kidnapped his phone to try this feature out and see whether it is perfect for my tasks or not.. Now to make a picture format of my tracks..

anyway, thanks for your feedback, berkley.. you're the man!

@berkley.. sadly, it is extremely P & C.. so uploading it is not possible..
                   
huh? Locus with on-board map calibration can make offline maps? you are not pulling my leg, are you?

as to OSM mapper.. i see it is kind of like an online maping software.. meaning I need to be online to do this. sadly, where I do those tracks, internet connection is a no no.. i have to look for other options then.. but honestly, starting to give up...

i have googled around the whole day looking for any software that can help me convert my tracks to offline maps in the following file formats you mentioned, berkley, and I think none of them does what it wants me to do (after fiddling around with the trials) and most needs online connection too..
back to the drawing board for me then..

@rijackson.. trust me when I say there are no maps for those roads I made.. period.. haha..  I might look around some more software to make offline maps today.. but as mentioned, starting to lose hope.. might end up going back to my bulky garmin sets then, but there are some things that garmin can't do that LOCUS can.. sooo.. and obviously, there are also things that Garmin can do that LOCUS can't (albeit, with some limitations)..

ai ya ya ya.. what a dilemma I am in..

anyway, again, wanna thank you guys for taking the time to read my post and give some good advices.. appreciate it lots.. I hope I don't rub anyone the wrong way either in my posts.. if I did (probably un-intentionally), I humbly apologize here .

@berkley.. I understand your point, but you seem to have missed mine.. if there are, please do point to me where I mentioned "I expect Locus to do this, do that... I have always been asking, is it "possible" to do this, or that?.. so please don't misunderstand my questions for demands.. as to this, most smartphones have way more firepower in terms of memory and processor (aside from shorter battery lasting power) than garmin sets, so there is probably no reason why smartphones will not be able to do what a Garmin GPS unit can do.. but again.. all I am asking here is always, is it possible..?

But i guess for the moment, probably won't be possible at this time..

@rijackson... not sure you will believe me on this but.. those are road systems.. LOL.. and it took me 7 months of hiking, bike riding and car bumping rides to get those data.. and as mentioned before, this is just one part of them.. LOL..

so since using tracks imported and shown on real time is impossible for my amount of track data, I am wondering whether there is any software that you guys can recommend to make offline maps with my data.. I suppose I can make a picture format of these data and somehow implant coordinates into it for LOCUS to recognize ,but I am unsure as to what software that can do that.. a pointer here would be great..

p.s :- @menion, do locus recognize IMG files as offline maps? thanks for your patience in this.. since I am at it,  what type of format for offline maps does LOcus recognized btw, if you don't mind me asking..

@berkely .. hmm, OSM mappers huh? ok, I will take a look.. thanks.. one last question... can it make offline maps that can be recognized by LOCUS?

in settings is ability to disable big icons and show just dots. Since yesterday is there also possibility to completely disable these dots

about displaying truncated tracks ... are you sure? Try to zoom in and you're probably see complete tracks ...

zoomed and still missing a large portion..

lemme put up the pics for you to see..

Data vs What is shown..

Data


What I see..

...is it possible to include in future updates to give us the option to disable those start and end dots?

use the settings...

where in the settings because I've gone through it several times already and don't see an option for it

ok, i tried rijacksons method..

faster load and all, but same result as when I tried to import the KML files for view only..

it only shows a very truncated version of my actual tracks..

so i suppose loading from KML or KMZ for viewing only seems a rather daunting task..
only way I can think of is to make an offline map and had it load up by locus..

but trying mapc2mapc2 and MOBAC doesn't seem to gather those GPX tracks I made and put it into the offline..
anyone here uses anything that can input self made tracks into the offline maps?

thank you for the replies thus far guys, I really appreciate it lots..

p.s :- if you guys wanna see a sample of my tracks and what is loaded on LOCUS, i may be able to do it if you guys need a clearer picture of what I am trying to achieve..thanks

did I mentioned that 1718 tracks are just one part of what I am trying to achieve?
hahaha..

well, it does seem kind of impossible especially with the load of data I am trying to get shown in the map for real time viewing and navigating
at the same time..

@rijackson, hmm... ok, I will check it out and let you know how it goes..

@menion.. i know this is asking too much, but is it possible to include in future updates to give us the option to disable those start and end dots?
;p

no actually it's not. They're really small aren't they? are they really so noisy?

haha,.. well, I tried to turn all those 1718 tracks (sorry, i mis-informed previously, it wasn't over 2k tracks)
and have them for view only and no import..

the good part is, it collected the data super fast and doesn't crash on my..

sad part, it doesn't show a huge portion of those tracks..
and those start and end dots, it was all over the tracks that managed to get shown..
makes me go boggle eyed.. haha

so was wondering whether there is an option to just show the tracks without those dots.
;p

Menion.. wanted to ask you..

when I imported only a few tracks.. when viewing it in the map section..
it seems to put black dots on the start and end points..

is there any way to remove those dots and just show the tracks themselves?

yea, I did try it, but I can'tr seem to find an option to import my GPX tracks into it..

I also tried Mobile Atlas Creator.. seem to be able to put my tracks in
but when I made the Atlas, it seem to only get the map behind the tracks and left the tracks out totally..

I'm not sure I did it right or not though..
looked in settings and I am stumped..

I spoke too soon..

here is the error log...

Morning everyone..

I am now importing KML file to my phone (again) and it is going to take a while..
will upload the crash log soon as I make it happen again.. hehe

in the mean time.. is there a way to convert GPX files with tracks in them direct into a sqlitedb map file?

p.s :- strange, finish importing and stuff.. no more errors.. weird..

but I did notice something, it shows dots for the start point and end points.. any way to make these dots disappear?

ok, will provide u the crash log as soon as I am able..
