i don't know how this is solved 'within' gsak.
when correcting coords, gsak still knows the original coords (as some kind of hidden child waypoint), but the main coords shown of the waypoint are then the corrected coords.
this makes sense, especially when you solve a mystery cache:
the original coords then have nothing to do with the cache, as they are quite random. after solving the puzzle, you get the coords of the start or final box, and you can forget the original coords. so you enter the new coords as corrected coords and the geocache is moved to this location on the map.
therefore, it would be nice if locus would place the icon at the corrected location and mark it as corrected.
if you want, you can still have the original coords as a child waypoint, but i think this is not really required.

It would be nice to have the option to auto-enable the category, to which waypoints have been imported last, i.e. when importing from gsak to favorites, there should be no need to manually reenable the favorites category, especially if this category has been enabled before importing.
with the actual version of locus, a category seems to always be disabled on importing new pois, at least when auto-deleting-on-load is enabled.

when importing geocaches from a GSAK database, icons are shown on their original location, even if there are corrected coordinates.
i think if there are corrected coords, the icon should be shown at the corrected coords and indicate that this are corrected coords with an indication on the icon.
that's because if you solve a mystery cache and update coords, there is no more use for the original coords and when looking for this cache, you have to go to the corrected coords!

Wishlist / Quick filter on shown geocaches
December 22, 2011, 11:07:59
i would like to have a quick filter dialog on actually imported geocaches, allowing me to
- enable/disable my own caches on the display
- enable/disable found caches on the display
- enable/disable child waypoints for all actually shown caches on the display
- enable/disable name for all actually shown caches on the display
this should all be a 2-click operation, i.e. 1 click for opening the dialog and 1 click to toggle a setting.
i know that there are workarounds to do so, but they all require for a lot of clicks or for a reload of the geocaches.

when importing geocaches from a gpx file, it seems that locus is able to indicate attributes like 'has corrected coords'.
when reading from a gsak db, this is not indicated.
i would like to get an indication on the icon shown, which indicates if a cache has
- corrected coords
- is my own

thanx for the link.
maybe, i'm an idiot, but i can't find out how to get my maps into ttqv4.
how can i import a map into ttqv4?
and what map format do i need to have to get it into ttqv4?
thanx!

just stumbled over the gsak db import addon.
really looks great, i.e. priority of alternative locus db generation really get's low for me, if gsak import will do all i need. thanx a lot!

so now i tried the following:

- extract a .tif file using ozimaptrans
- manually edit the original .map file to point to the .tif file
- read both into compegps land and save as .RMAP
- then i placed the .RMAP file into the locus/maps folder

unfortunately, locus cannot see the .RMAP file.
what am i still doing wrong?????????????????????

thanx!

no matter if i base on .ozfx3 or .tar maps, i always get the message

<mapname>.cal konnte nicht erzeugt werden.

hm. that's what i did (or tried to do)!

but when converting the map to tiff (using ozimaptrans), i don't get the .cal file, although i enabled .cal generation in the settings (no idea what i'm doing wrong).
so when importing to TTQV, i have no calibration data for the map.
#103
hm. doesn't seem to work!

i actually have my maps in .tar and .ozfx3 (ozi explorer) format, but neither TTQV5 nor CompeGPSLand 7 seem to be able to convert them to RMAP.

with mobac, i'm only able to access to online maps, but not to import my existing maps.

what i need is a tool that allows me to convert my existing maps to RMAP!!

i can't believe that no one can tell me what tool i can take to generate RMAP.

i think it should be possible to generate RMAP, if LOCUS can read it ;-)

i hoped that
- maybe the code you use to convert the .gpx to a database on android could be compiled for windows too without a lot of work to run on a pc
- or that there is a generic sqll generation tool, that could be filled with all the required data and some kind of config file to generate such a database
- or maybe the data format is public so that anyone can build such a tool
