Ah damn, I was a little tired in the evening and fully forget about this ...

Sorry, versions uploaded, thanks!

I know I know. Andrew already reported this a few days ago here and I'm still unable to correctly simulate it. But I'll look at it more precisely at Monday, promise

Alternative turn-off method > hmm I did no changes here. Interesting ...

"Hide" button. Agree with @freischneider, there is no space for another button. Anyway to explain: the app simply creates a list of buttons that should be placed at the bottom and only a certain number is visible, the rest is in the "three-dot" menu. So I promised a long time ago some kind of customization here > and this is ideal adept > allow to define order of these buttons.

Switching between maps is something I do very frequently on the trail, most of the time toggling between OSM and a satellite map. I believe this is a very frequent operation in Locus, especially now that you have these gorgeous satellite maps in Gold without google hacks. Anyway, map changing has become a bit of a cumbersome multi-tap operation recently: tap on the map icon, tap on the current map name (feels a bit illogical here), find new map in the list, tap on new map name. One could probably put the quick map change function in a toolbar, but that doesn't make the tap orgy less complex really.

How about using a long tap on the map icon (currently unused) to toggle between the previously selected map and the current one? That would make things super-easy and fast if all you need is two maps, like OSM and Satellite.

Good evening Menion,
I read the impressive release notes, which make me eager to understand WHAT is now different re. file system. And what that means for AFA and for non-AFA versions.
TXs and cheers and have a nice weekend

Nein, der Fehler lag darin, dass wenn sich bei einem Theme Update der Name der Zip-Datei ändert (Version) auch das entsprechende Preset angepasst werden muss.
Geschieht das nicht läd das Preset das Standard Theme.

[Windwos batch script to generate maps for Locus]

In many weeks of testing I have developed a Windwos batch script to generate maps for Locus which are very close to maps probided by OpenAndroMaps. This script enables you to generate a topographic map for any area of the world.

The script and all necessary software will run on a "normal" Windows 10 PC. All details will be found on my website. Although the website is in German, you can translate the most parts easily and the script inself is mostly in English. You will find download links for the map-generation-script, all necessary other scripts and download links for all software packages.

The maps generated with this script will be named OpenOutdoorMap (OOM) . There is also a test-map for download.

I am happy to get any feedback und suggestions.

Regards
Bernard

@balloni55
your zip file contains some non-UTF8 characters and because of this, the app is unable to extract it (and crash). I've fixed it so the next version only notifies about the incorrect theme. Check the modified version from Willy, it works correctly.

gerade wegen der Übersichtlichkeit wollte ich kein neues Thema aufmachen - geht hier ja um das aktuelle update.

Auch ich als Thread Starter möchte dich bitten einen neuen Thread aufzumachen!!!!!!!!!
Es wird sonst für mich sehr schwer alles aufzunehmen.
Das Ganze LMP ist neu für mich, und daher möchte ich dich wirklich, wirklich bitten Rücksicht zu nehmen.
Du meinst vielleicht, das du nur ein kleines Problem hast, was locker nebenbei bearbeitet werden kann.
Für mich sieht das so aus, das ich keine Map App kenne, die so gut ist.
Und, entweder ich kriege das wieder hin, oder ich kann mir ein neues Handy kaufen?
Also lass mich bitte mit meinem Problem Antworten finden, und setze dich bitte nicht über das ganz normale höfliche Miteinander hinweg.
Gruß!

Hab bei Youtube ein Screenvideo dazu hinterlegt.

der Link funktioniert bei mir nicht

Der Link geht schon - aber das Video steht auf privat.

text problems are really interesting, can't simulate it . Hmm, .

Just some translation issue. Will have a look today, of not maybe someone else fixed it. I'm mostly absent of translation, as I don't use the german version of the UI -  this makes communication easier.

PS: Ist zwar nur bervig und nicht das Hauptproblem: Themes auf ext SD sind technisch bedingt Grotten langsam. Menion hat das Problem verstanden. Lösung wäre den Themes Folder immer intern zu halten oder mit ZIPs zu arbeiten.

[New version 4.5.5 is available on the Google Play]

New version 4.5.5 is available on the Google Play.

Change in the A11+ file-system > check app settings > Misc > File manager and enjoy it . And please, do not forget to keep in mind (we will be writing it everywhere) > we have a temporary exception!! from the Google team. Temporary for how long? No one knows. So we have to prepare, it will end one day ...



Locus Map Pro is currently in the verification process ... we'll see how things go ...

Hi,
I found in the locus/data/sensors folder more than 100 small files that contain a single line of text like this:
"SENSORS, VERSION 1.0, 2021-12-08T18: 06: 57.508Z, Central European Standard Time (2.0h)"
they take up little space and are not a big deal, but it seems strange to me.

"Is it then possible to divide app and data over private directories in internal memory and SD card" - not yet. If there will be bigger interest, I may work on it and this is definitely a doable task.

1000% supported! I have very big non-vector maps (OruxMaps format) on extSd, which won't fit on intSd, but also don't want to take the performance hit to database operations on extSd.
I don't want to spend lifetime getting angry at Google for this change, we few people won't be able to change it. And I don't really care about the actual paths to data (I would care about inability to share this data, but I don't need that, so I'm fine). But if there's any way to make use of the data on int and ext SD at the same time, that would be a big improvement! I would probably wait with updating Locus if you now tell us, you'll tackle this... Thx for considering!
