Hmm, I just tested it again and now the line style, including colour, thickness and pattern, is being applied correctly for me.

Finally, after restarting the device, they were uploaded for me too. 🙂

There are still issues with the global search for LoPoints with defined area. See this post and here in the helpdesk.

Expert settings -> Center on point OFF

If the searched object is a normal LoPoint outside the screen, a red circle with an arrow appears and if I click on it, I can select the element (click on the square icon) and the map jumps there. After closing the LoPoint slide panel, the map remains there. Ok. 

If the searched object is a LoPoint with defined area outside the screen, the map immediately jumps to this LoPoint and opens the slide panel.
But: I can't stay at the position I'm looking for. If I click the Android back button or swipe down the panel, the map jumps back to the last position before the search.
If I click on the arrow to the left of the search title (name of the LoPoint) in the slide panel, I return to the search list.

It is not possible for the map to remain at the searched LoPoint.

This has now been fixed (beta 4.29.0.14).

However, if I select a point outside the map screen in the left side panel under "nearest points", the red circle with an arrow also appears here. But here it cannot be clicked on and there is no way to jump the map to this point.

When I turned on my smartphone earlier (Saturday morning), Locus tried to upload the photos (according to the Android notification bar).
But it didn't work. Message in the notification bar: "The photo could not be uploaded. Try again?"
Unfortunately, you can't initiate this yourself.

All photos are still listed under "for upload"...

How can I get rid of this question?

Expert settings > first setting on the top
(Confirm on exit)

One more thing: the LoPoints on the map no longer display photos.

Ok, found it. I think the new LoPoint online/offline system should be explained better.

In the settings under LoPoints, I now found the (new?) option:
Loading mode: Automatic / Online only / Offline only

"Automatic" was set, which meant that Locus always preferred the offline LoPoints despite a good internet connection. Of course, they don't have any photos.

I have now set it to "Online only", and the photos are now displayed again. However, as soon as I have no or poor network coverage, no LoPoints are displayed... somehow, the whole thing is not ideal.

Furthermore, no new LoPoint photos have been uploaded since yesterday...

Server problem? Maybe it has something to do with this topic?

[EDIT:]

Thanks for the new beta, Menion.

"long click on profile button in route planner for quick access to profile parameters": It doesn't work. It still switches to "manual segments". Or have I misunderstood something?

EDIT: Now I see by chance that you have added a "Quick profile parameters" option in the route planner settings after all. That's fine with me. 🙂 👍

I did that. All parts have the same name and any letter at the end. And it is still sorted correctly by start time when "created on" is selected as the criterion.

Only when two parts have the same start time, which is logically the case for the first half (previously _01) and the first quarter (previously 01_01), are they sorted alphabetically.

Hello @slarti76:

But that's exactly what happens. When I split a track, both parts get the date and time of the first track point. I've checked this several times now.

The tracks are sorted correctly in the folder, both by creation date and modification date.

I shared a 5-hour bike ride. Part one gets the ending _01 and the start time of the entire track, part 2 gets the ending _02 and the start time when I was at that point. I then shared both parts again (endings _01_02 and 01_02 or 02_01 and 02_02). Here, too, the start times are taken from the respective first track point. All parts are sorted correctly.

Just to be sure: I am using the current beta version of LM4.

That's the case for me too. Probably a temporary problem, I'll wait and see for now.

@Menion:

Thank you for responding to my request.

What sounds most interesting is what you have unfortunately crossed out (Route planner > menu > Settings" in the next app version. There will be new "Quick profile parameters".) Not possible?

- long click on the main profile button > display of parameters, instead of toggling to manual mode:
That might be a good idea. Even if I then have to scroll to the bottom of the profile list every time because the manual profile is listed last. Unfortunately, the list cannot be sorted differently. But I could live with that, as the manual segments can also be set to + with a long press.

- long click on the bottom-left "+" button > add single manual segment (to current map centre), instead of "Select location" dialogue?
This is already happening. A long press on + always leads to a single manual segment. I use this often and find it very practical. This can be set in the route planner menu.

On the subject of patterns and "Track overview": This always happens, regardless of the track. Not only the pattern, but also the colour of the track is ignored. The default line is always created (in my case red, 3 px).

when I tap on the red circle-arrow map icon, two items are listed, tapping the 1st is ignored, tapping the 2nd pans the map to the point. intended?

Yes, I think. You can activate the "Centre on point" option in the Expert Settings under "Points". The map will then jump directly to the item you are looking for.

@Graf Geo - see "drinking water" in attached screen shot. In the internal list of synonyms, "water" --> "drinking water"?

Yes, unfortunately that doesn't work. I absolutely agree with you, the global search still has many shortcomings. In the results and in the sorting by distance.

@GrafGeo

What do you change in parameters? Could it be possible, to  create a few walking-profiles  with that different parameters, storing specific values in the name of the profile, or are there so much different configurations?

I change everything according to my needs. If I'm planning my jogging route or want to walk alone, in pairs or in a group, for example, I set different speeds.

If it has rained a lot, I activate the "wet conditions". In the mountains, I tend to plan with navigation commands, in the flatlands without. I have gained my own experience as to which parameters are best and when.

Unfortunately, you can't save the same internal profile (e.g. walking) several times with different parameters, which I have of course already tried.
