Locus Map / Re: [APP] - version 4.5.+ ( 1. 12. 2021+ )

« on: January 14, 2022, 09:38:17 »

I'll look at it, thanks.

Unfortunately, for more than a year I was not updating necessary build tools like Android Studio and many libraries around. But now it is necessary and I'm already more than a week stuck on it. Seems to be some technical problems in a few core-libs I use, so I communicate with other devs and try to solve it. Waste of time and no interesting updates = sorry. I'll publish and inform you about the new Beta as soon as possible.

Troubles & Questions / Re: Locus 3.56.5 crashes when modifying track

Hmm, let me know if removing a few tracks/points from the screen solved this issue. Thanks.

Oki, thanks, good to know . Then we will have to figure out any bigger benefit then just "easy-to-use"

Tools / Re: [Tasker] BRouter routing files downloader

« on: January 06, 2022, 08:28:01 »

I see two more differences:

1. app takes care of updates fully automatically in the defined interval, which I consider a huge benefit.

2. app and also BRouter offers updates over "diffs" > only changes are downloaded. The difference is, that in the case of BRouter if you do not update within 10 days, you always download the completely new file. Which is quite slow in the case of BRouter if I remember correctly. Locus Map offers diffs up to 60 days. And even if you download full files, it should be really fast as we have a server hosted on 1GB network.

Otherwise routing engines are still identical, so there should be no difference in computed routes (in case of identical routing profile).

Hi , thanks for the ID.

As I see, you had two crashes caused by the "Out of memory" problem. Is your track sooooo huge? Your tablet has only a 2 GB RAM so this problem may really happen in case of bigger tracks or in case, memory is already consumed by any other objects, like map overlays, WMS maps, a lot of points/tracks on the map etc.

Free chat / Re: Automatic map loading v3 to v5?

« on: January 05, 2022, 10:33:58 »

Hi, @freischneider, this is not correct. Both systems work completely independently and unfortunately, it is not simply possible to use both types at once. An alternative solution may be to use the "Map overlay" feature for one kind of map and a common base map for another. Anyway, the ideal solution we will look at this year, is to convert internal V3 based LoMaps to the new system.

Exactly this was changed in latest version @tapio, so all Androids now support this folder automatically.

Sorry Michael, but this can't be an app problem. Please check a) your custom setup for "mapsVector" and "maps" directory and most probably setup for "External maps" defined in the offline tab of the map manager.

Are you sure? App should only iterate over own data, so only over "x/Android/media/menion.android.locus/maps" and "x/Android/media/menion.android.locus/mapsVector". Nothing more! Do you see in the log that the app test all files from other directories?

May you please send me here your "user ID"? Found in the "About app" screen, thanks.

@tapio
nono, there aren't any reasons. If I ever knew, these paths will be visible and used, I should of course remove "Locus" from the path and most probably also "menion" from the app name 

@Georg D
hmm, this is most probably a good point. I'll try to fix the relative path in the zip to keep it compatible with the un-zipped version.

About support for utf-8: which app was used to pack this zip? I've found one info on dev forum:

Code: [Select]

The problem arises because by default 7-Zip encodes the names of the files within the zip file using Cp437, as noted in this comment from 7-Zip:

Default encoding is OEM (DOS) encoding. It's for compatibility with old zip software.

That's why the unzip works when using Charset.forName("Cp437") instead of Charset.forName("UTF-8").
Anyway, I've tried to pack them as UTF-8, and no difference, hmm.

I'll post your info about the manual to Michal, he look at it. There is a lot of manual pages to change and it takes some time ...

[CZ&SK] - diskuze o Locusu / Re: Android 11 a omezení přístupu k adresářům

« on: January 01, 2022, 22:37:41 »

Zdravím roze,

ano, Android 11 způsobuje omezení přístupu k adresářům a telefonu.
Pokud vím, root tohle nespraví.

Nicméně Locus Map 4 je nějakou záhadnou klikou na Google Play i s oprávněním které umožňuje plný přístup všude, tak jako na starších Androidech. Jak dlouho nám to Google umožní, netušíme.

Locus Map Pro přes Google Play tuto možnost nemá, nicméně verzi s touto možnosti jsem nahrál a budu nadále nahrávat na Google Drive s verzemi.

@balloni55
your zip file contains some non-UTF8 characters and because of this, the app is unable to extract it (and crash). I've fixed it so the next version only notifies about the incorrect theme. Check the modified version from Willy, it works correctly.

Troubles & Questions / Re: startup of locus is really slow since last update (about 35s)

« on: December 31, 2021, 20:12:14 »

@bongo
Beta versions replace public versions. Usually, it is not easily possible to downgrade back on the public version. But usually, it is not a problem as we talk more about minor changes. Where there is a bigger update in the Beta version, it is discussed in the main version topic.

Anyway in this case, the Beta version is perfectly safe to install. Once the new version will be on Google Play, you will get an update as usual.
