Did you look at https://www.openandromaps.org/en/downloads ?

Just install theme and desired maps from there with the Locus related links. This will create tasks inside Locus that do the installation work.

Locus 3.7 is in fact what was called Pro years back, hence that step was correct.
Your Laptop backup, is that the zip from Locus backup function? Or a copy paste of everything you found under /Locus?

Yes, we are talking about the same.

And I also think that the icons in the list can double on size without increasing the text spacing. 

I see two sort options:
- distance
- updated
Those can be used for next/previous selection and should cover most use cases, I believe.

And I fully agree re. wasted space, i.e. the thumbnails should be larger. Currently the top folder needs 100 MB for 10,000 photos. That is nothing. Doubling the thumbnail size could take 400 MB or so. Absolutely no issue.

@Menion, what do you think?

TXs and cheers

Also haben wir bis jetzt 4" (!!) bis 6.7, und nach oben offen

PS: while display on the map is really cool, viewing a series of photos is painful. Always go back to the map, tap, get new list, maybe hit the same photo again if you are not careful, ...
Do I miss a trick here, or do we have to ask Menion to give us swipe left/right through the list (which has good sorting preferences,  BTW).
TXs and cheers

Wow I noticed, Geotagged Photos, the ones turned on via Map Content Panel, (I have 1000s) are displayed on the map much faster. Like 10x as fast. Is it my device or has there been a change?

EDIT: Really impressive and consistently fast now. I created a video: https://youtube.com/shorts/GtwCaebTLb8?si=-QzHYSm_-028tUP1

On my new S25 ultra Locus matches the speed of your video (there are 30,000 images on the device, most of them geo-tagged).
My 6 year old S10 does quite differently: it takes long time until it starts displaying at all (same amount of photos, as the new one got them from this one), and they finally pop up WAY slower than on the S25.
I would attribute that to 6 years of technology advances ...

Wieviel Hauptspeicher hat das S4 (von 2013, oder?) ?

Wie Menion und Support immer wieder einmal erwähnen: schaut in Menions Post-Fußzeilen, dort ist auch ein Link zu den APK-Downloads.
Verzögerungen kommen u.a. durch phasenweisen Rollout (erst 10%, dann 25, ...)

März-Update: Versionsinformationen 202501-V2
- Der komplette OAM-Hintergrund für ZL 8 und höher ist jetzt aus Christians März-2025-OAM-Vektorkarten generiert.

March update: Release notes 202501-V2
- The complete OAM background for ZL 8 and above is now based on Christian's March 2025 OAM vector maps release.
- Restricted areas (shoot first, ask later - they can be bigger than small states in some places) are now included from ZL 8 onwards (in Europe from ZL 10 for now, waiting for next round of vector map generation).

Hi, 4.28 is still not available in Google Play, Slovakia country (checked 09.03 at 07:28) and as I have 4.27.2 I'm not able to synch my tracks from cloud planner. Please, how to continue?

Google Play releases only % of users. From the link you can download the latest version.

I have one with size over 1 GB, and I copied it from my phone to two different tablets.
Locus just eats what it finds in mapsonline folder.

Just don't do the update for the time being. As the Satellite map provider for Locus screwed up, Menion had to do an emergency fix and make it dominate existing installs via Playstore (this is for the mass of users rather than beta users). Technically he had to increase the build/version number, which causes Playstore to react the way we see (same for me).
There may be a version with that build number coming for beta too, not necessarily with new functions, but just to overcome this annoyance.
It should be easy to stay tuned until that happens or a new beta with new stuff might arrive.

You can activate the NMEA recording in Locus and look what location information is arriving from Android.
For further analysis an Add-on specialist needs to step in.
