I just found the "addressdb" folder on the mapsforge ftp-server. There you can find files (i.e. country.sqlite) in SQL database format. Is it possible to use these files working in Locus together with the vector maps???
 
I opened such a file and it contains cities, boroughs, postcodes, roads, roads_postcodes, roads_boroughs. Every road is listed with lat/lon  8-)

MapsForge has released new version 0.2.4  8-)  Have you already used the new mapfile-writer? Would be interesting, if the created maps are different to the 0.2.3 version...  ;)  I'm just loading a 0.2.4 map from their server...  :)

I have it already done... Must upload it...  :oops:

Done.

Works great in Locus...  ;)

Well, I never thought that I will spend again a lot of time in a cs after my work with Trekbuddy. But Locus is a such a funtastic software so that I decided to make by contribution to Locus...   ;)
#7
No, the TrekBuddy CMS is complete different to the Locus CS and beside this, the features provided by Locus support much more powerful CS...  ;)  But if you want to make your own CS you have to start from beginning. I had to do the same...  :D
#8
What CMS have you used with TrekBuddy???  ;)
#9
No, PACE is very different. It's used by runners and it's calculated in "minutes/km"...

Version 1.05 uploaded...


The latest version contains the following information, listed from top to bottom:

Top screen:

    + GPS lon/lat, course (GPS or internal compass)
    + GPS lon/lat of waypoint (wpt), azimuth to target (if wpt is set)
    + name of next waypoint (if wpt is set)
    + direction arrow, shows direction to next waypoint (if wpt is set)
    + distance to next waypoint (if wpt is set)
Center screen:

    + map as background (if selected), covers the whole screen
    + analog speedmeter with average (green)/maximum (red) speed indicator (if selected)
    + compass rose showing course (if selected)

    + button bar on the right side to make items visible or hide them:
      + Button #1: top panel, to get more space on custom screen
      + Button #2: all waypoint informations
      + Button #3: speedmeter
      + Button #4: compass rose
      + Button #5: map as background
    + button bar on the left side to make items visible or hide them:
      + Button #1: shows PACE for runners
    Just tap on a button, to make an item visible or hide it!

Bottom screen:

    + map center lat/lon
    + GPS speed, GPS altitude
    + average speed (only when move), actual used satellites, visible satellites, GPS accuracy
    + recorded distance, recorded time (only when move)

For suggestions, bugreport or other feedback, use the thread in Locus forum.

Great to hear! Well, custom screen is different from homescreen. I don't know whether some functions from homescreen can be added to the custom screen. Only Menion can answer this question...  ;)

I use SCREEN CAPTURE SHORTCUT... works WITHOUT rooted phone...

Version 1.05 - 020611

Since Locus 1.8.2 custom screens (skins) can be created by users. A manual and short description can be found here. Menion did a great job to provide an excellent plattform for custom screen design. I want to support him and Locus with my custom screen. You will find here always the latest release for download.

Download :  Version 1.05, tested with Samsung i5800 (240x400) and Samsung Ace (320x480)

To use the cs, copy the ZIP-file to the folder  Locus/data/customScreen
Please post your phone/resolution and whether the custom screen works...  ;)
Feel free to give feedback, bugreport or suggestions!

If you need a way to make a screenshot, just get SCREEN CAPTURE SHORTCUT. It's free and needs no rooted phone  ;)


Development:   cyclocomputer with analog display and tracking/altitude dashboard

Version  1.05

@Alex2

I think I'm just adding this arrow to my CMS for Locus...  ;)
Be patient... I still need some time for the CMS design. I hope that I can finish it until Menions next Locus release.  8-)
