Strange that I recently got an idealo mail with price below 500 EUR. But now it's slightly above 500 EUR.

Nope, too large for me (5" ). I got an Experia V (4.3" ) to replace my Defy+ (3.7" ). This is the limit for my thumb radius while holding and using a mobile in one hand (and I mean tight holding, not balancing on fingertips due to the size). And I have not the smallest hands ;-)
But the S4 Avtive is a powetful phone and I think a lot of geocachers will like it.

A big wish: If I am in geocaching details I would like to go back to POI details. There are two possibles right now to go back to main screen: back-button and house-button (upper left). It would be great if one possibility leads back to POI instead of main screen.

Ich finde den Dashboardeditor klasse und dem Zweck entsprechend gut durchdacht. Wenn Du Vorschläge hast, wie der Dashboardeditor noch besser werden könnte, immer her damit, der Entwickler hat immer ein offenes Ohr für Verbesserungsvorschläge!

Hi, can not reproduce any more the problem with updating a geocache and filtersettings. But have small error at first update after Locus start. I have sent a catlog to menion.

2.12.2.8:
Updating Geocaches:
The new filtering features for geocaches are great for viewing/selecting. But when I want to update (Addon GC4Locus) a single geocache (or a group of marked geocaches), I don't care about the filtersettings and it is anoying to be forced to chose a filter which is impossible:
1. the radius is not within my actual map position (btw. another anoying behaviour with the map centering/sorting to GPS which was much better before)
2. my selected caches could fit both of each filter criteria (i.e.temporarily disabled caches and enabled ones) and I'm not allowed to leave all filter in the "don't care" position.
So my suggestion:
Could it be possible to ignore (all) filtersettings when updating selected(!) geocache(s)?

Back-button:
Still problems (Android 2.3.6) with back-button at:
- closing Locus (workarround: killing, because either I
a) use Locus with GPS permanently on, even in background to have it ready if I look at it without waiting for a sat fix ... or I
 b) don't need it for sure and close it)
- closing main menu (workarround: slide to the right)
- closing the dashboard view (workarround: click the dashboard button. Yes, I fortunately have it in the top bar ;-) )

Hi berkley,
I didn't read many posts from you the last weeks... I hope everything is ok.
How about an update for Addon Maptweaks?
Friendly greetings,
Druki.

Hello,
I try to close 2.12.2.6 (Android 2.3.6) with the back button, but Locus doesn't close (is there an other way to close?). No matter if "closing prompt" is on or off (never get this request in this version) and no matter if "run as a service" is active or not. Seems that I have to kill Locus - I never thought that I would ever consider this ;-) But if I don't close it, it will drain my battery tomorrow during daytime...

If I remember correctly, it was possible to close the main menu with the back button in earlier versions. Not possible in 2.12.2.6?

Hello,
I just discovered: http://www.meetearl.com/
I don't know if it will be a good choice, but the price of 249 US$ (about 203 EUR incl. shiping to Europe) as a supporter is ok and I ordered one for testing - at least it will be a great outdoor ebook reader
And maybe it's possible to run Locus on it...
If you think about ordering, be fast: 9 hours to go until end of crowdfunding campaign (30% off).

Hello,
I can reproduce with Locus 2.12.0.0. And it's fixed in the next release. Try Testversion 2.12.0.4 at viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3112&hilit=version
Greetings, Druki.

I have one question and maybe a bug:

1. the feature of hill shading for vector maps (in development) actually throws the shadow upper right:
[attachment=0:38bxn0wn]e8yqapam.jpg[/attachment:38bxn0wn]
For maps normally it is lower right.
@Menion: Can this be corrected?

2.
Only for record: yesterday I had several crashes of 2.12.3 (also 2.12.0) during navigation. Locus crashed at recalculation of route. I was not able to make a catlog during driving. Maybe I can get some logs later..

Dass es Pinch to zoom gibt (ganz ohne buttons) ist auch bekannt?
ok, da werden zwei Finger benötigt...

Vorschlag: Steigung / Schräglage
(kommt dem Sprachgebrauch im Offroadbereich entgegen, bei dem auch solche Darstellung üblich ist...)

I can confirm with Android 2.3.6 that vectormaps are loaded faster in 2.12.03 compared to 2.12.0.

About line tools:
small drawing bug (allready in 2.12.0), at line crossing tool only the upper/left part of lines is drawn on the screen (ends with the calculated crossing point).
One wish: I'm interested in informations on lines that I have drawn (after the creation page): Could it be possible to show lenght & azimuth of the lines on map?

Wenn Onlineverbindung besteht: Suche in Locus über Google Places funktioniert super. Auch Übernahme für spätere Offlineverwendung ist einfach.
