It's just like in a bookshop: there are countless maps, and which one you choose depends on your needs, personal taste and budget.

In the Locus store, you can view the coverage area and previews for all maps, and read the details.
OpenStreetMap maps are free.

Personally, I mainly use openandromaps, which are based on OpenStreetMap, and LoMaps.

Hmm, that's odd. It doesn't work for me. Global search.
The map is centred on Berlin. I search for Sylt. Nothing happens. The red marker with the arrow doesn't appear either.
When I manually move the map to Sylt, I can see that the Sylt icon is highlighted. So the place has been found, but the map doesn't jump to it.
It works with the other search options (offline addresses, the old Google search, etc.).

Reistalled beta ...03, global search works.
Installed again ...04, doesn't work...

The current beta version 4.35.0.4 is quite buggy:

The global search doesn't work. No matter what I search for – for example, a town – nothing happens. The search window closes and the map stays where it was.

It works in version 4.35.0.3.

Yet another bug with LoPoint photos:

When I view a LoPoint photo from the user's gallery (whether it's mine or another user's) and click on the LoPoint icon, the panel with the detailed view opens.

Unfortunately, the map preview isn't displayed correctly. Depending on the map selected, a white or light blue background appears. This is because the coordinates 0°/0° are always passed, which is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

See screenshot.

Note: The error occurs in the current beta version 4.35.0.4; it worked normally in the previous version 4.35.0.3.

Du meinst das nachträgliche Ändern der optionalen Bildunterschrift? Das geht nicht.

Einzige Möglichkeit: das Bild löschen und erneut hochladen, dann aber mit (geänderter) Unterschrift.

Thanks for the new beta!

Track Details Panel: the recalculation of elevation data is now updated immediately (see helpdesk).

Unfortunately, this does not apply to changes to the elevation threshold (slider). Here, you still need to close and reopen the panel to see the change...

"map overlay photo/video folder picker now reopens in the last folder you browsed": better, but favourites would still be useful. If you need a completely different folder, you still have to laboriously work your way through everything.

I'm posting this here for now rather than on the helpdesk, as this version is still being further improved.

In version 4.35, a new dialogue box was introduced for selecting the folders from which geotagged media are displayed. The advantage of this is that you can now select any folder via the system file manager. However, it has the disadvantage – which I find very annoying – that I have to navigate through the folder structure every time to temporarily show or hide a specific folder. I have numerous folders whose images I sometimes only want to view briefly on the map so as not to overload it. Be it specific holidays, OSM documentation or whatever.

It would be nice if you could mark certain folders as favourites so that you could enable or disable them more quickly. These could appear on the first page of the folder structure; there's plenty of space there.
Alternatively, the 5–10 most recently selected folders could be displayed there, so that they can be selected or deselected more quickly.

Whilst I do think the advantages of LM4 over LM3 clearly outweigh the disadvantages, some of the issues you've highlighted are valid, and if those are important to you, it's understandable that you'd prefer to use LM3 (again).

LM4 displays all the track information straight away; one of LM3's advantages is that the information on track points can be accessed more quickly. I'd also have liked the timestamp for the track point I clicked on to be displayed more easily or immediately – it's actually more fiddly in LM4. This has already been pointed out several times here in the forum and/or on the helpdesk.

Apologies for jumping in here briefly:

I imagine that macfrank is missing the ability to adjust the vertical scale or zoom in on the elevation graph. It would be useful for taking a closer look at a short section of incline or decline; I sometimes find myself wishing for that option too. Perhaps something can be done about it.

Wurde schonmal gefragt. Das ist nicht mehr möglich seit einer vor längerer Zeit erfolgten Änderung, dass sich die Text-Labels bei Drehen der Karte nicht mitdrehen und somit lesbar sind (z. B. nicht auf dem Kopf stehen, wenn sich die Karte um 180 ° dreht.

Dafür muss man die Kröte schlucken, dass die Text-Labels nicht mehr gepicht werden können.

I know, but LoPoints have the advantage that you can highlight them according to specific categories, which makes them stand out clearly and makes them much easier to find.

I'd already posted this on the helpdesk, but posts like that tend to get lost in the mix there, or perhaps there aren't that many beer drinkers there. 

If it's not too much trouble, it would be great if beer gardens could also be displayed as LoPoints (armenity=biergarten). I think they're just as important for outdoor activities as bars or cafés, which are also LoPoints. Besides, you'd expect that from a Czech app  ...   

Cheers!

Es gibt eine Möglichkeit, einen gehighlighteten Track in der Vollbildkarte zu sehen. Habe ich eher zufällig bemerkt.

Klicke den gewünschten Track an. Im Track-Infopanel auf das Wegpunkt-Icon klicken (unten links). Dann den Android Zurück-Button klicken oder das Wegpunkt-Panel nach unten wischen. Voilà.

Search/OtherPOIs causes error.

What sort of error? For me, 'Search/Other POIs' opens the page with the search term input field just as normal.

The only thing that's been a bit of a nuisance recently is this:
I go to the global search. After clicking the hamburger menu in the top right-hand corner, the selection page with search locations, co-apps, etc. opens a bit jerkily or with a flicker.
