no, as i don't generate gpx files.
i just put the gsak database under locus.

when importing waypoints from gsak (using the gsak addon), waypoints of type "benchmark" are shown as "traditional cache".
can you please correct this?
thanx!

yes, that was me.
thanx for the adaptation!

hi menion
i converted all my maps to RMAP format.
unfortunately, some of these maps do not appear in locus, even if all these maps are in the same folder.
i sent you an example map on 14.5.2012 to your email and asked you to check this map.
have you got it?
thanx!

not really a problem. i think there was a problem with the first installation of 1.16.3 when i installed over a former free version.
when starting 1.16.3. for the first time, it crashed. then i started again and still had the wrong calibration.
so i uninstalled and reinstalled and now it works.

looks fine now!...
... but i had to uninstall locus free first. when installing over an existing locus free version (had a former testversion installed) calibration was still wrong.
but now, it seems to work fine.
thanx!

gsak actually supports more types than groundspeak, i.e. if you import from a gsak database, you can get some more types than when importing from a groundspeak pocket query.

gsak supportet types actually are:
-traditional
- multi
- letterbox
- cito
- event
- locationless
- virtual
- web cam
- mystery
- benchmark
- other
- earth
- project ape
- mega event
- maze exhibit
- wherigo
- waymark
- l&f event
- groundspeak
- l&f celebration

i'll try to email you a screenshot of the symbols.

i would like to also have an additional symbol indicating all geocaches of my own. so i can differ between to-do-caches and my own ones on the map.

great!
so i hope to find the new version in the market soon... ;-)
thanx!

i actually have 1.16.3 which shows this problem. think it's the latest one.

seems to be a problem with either Transversal Mercator projection or Potsdam Rauenberg DHDN map datum (or both).

when importing geocache waypoints from a GSAK database file, the geocache type 'benchmark' is shown as 'traditional cache'.

how can i get all geocaches shown with the appropriate icon?

is there a way to define custom icons based on geocache type and attributes?

thanx!

i found a small one. sent it to your email address...
thanx!

hm. then map which shows this behaviour is about 1.5gb. not really nice to upload ;-(
maybe, i can find a smaller one, but will still be a few 100mb.
where can i upload this map for you to check (it's definitely too big for email)?

looks like there is an error in calibrating RMAP formatted maps. :cry:

my map has the following projection/datum:
projection: Transversal Mercator
datum: Potsdam Rauenberg DHDN
resolution: 2.5 m/pixel

when placing a waypoint on this map, this does not show at the correct position.

example:
coords of the wpt: 48°08.995 11°31.305
the wpt is shown on the map at about:  48°08.900 11°31.215

when using osm vector maps, the wpt is shown where it should be, but when using RMAP, the map seems to have an offset to the north-east and the wpt is shown in a wrong position.

i also checked this with another RMAP which has same projection/datum but different resolution, and the problem is the same.

first i thought that my maps are bad, but i did the following tests:

- loaded RMAP into compegps on the pc, and the wpt is shown in the right position
- loaded RMAP into oruxmaps, and the wpt is shown in the right position

so i think that definitely locus is the problem, which misinterpretes either the projection or the datum settings.

can you please have a look at this misbehaviour?

thanx!

today's Locus is able to show individual icons for geocache types, and as soon as a cache has been marked as found, it gets the 'found' icon.
besides this, it would be nice to also have a special 'MyOwn' icon, indicating all caches of a specified owner.
this would allow to differ between caches on the todo-list and and owned caches.

i've seen that there are new osm 0.3.0 maps (besides the older 0.2.4 maps).
i don't really know what's the difference, but i've seen that 0.3.0 maps are a lot smaller than the 0.2.4 ones.
so i tried to check this out, but it looks like locus is not able to handle these 0.3.0 maps, i.e. they do not show up within locus when copied to the vector maps folder.
are these maps not supported by locus?
thanx!
