Exit Locus with or without pause does the job, as long as you keep the recording alive (do not touch the upper part of the Exit window!).
Just tested on LM3 and LM4.

V1.1 mit Christians OAM-Vektor-Karten vom Sep. 2023 als Hintergrund (ZL 8+) ist jetzt online, als direkte Downloads und als Torrents.

V1.1 with Christian's Sep. 2023 OAM vector maps as background (ZL 8+) is online now as direct downloads and torrents.

Pausing, ... is the gentle (and better) way. Brute force swap of battery (even without Android shutdown) works as well (as you already experienced :-)

TXs a lot, Menion!
AFA operations seem fine so far. Only special behavior is attached.
I went back to the 4.18.2.2 beta yesterday, and as before, there was no screen like attached after start. Now, with the corrected 4.18.2.3 this screen appears. Hitting "confirm" triggered a successful start, though.
Fingers  crossed.
TXs and cheers and enjoy the weekend

Hi Menion, AFA is not working in this latest version. Wants to move the working directory. EXIT ...
TXs and cheers

@Jan: I gave 2 hiking target examples from BC, Canada many weeks back.

Until then, we didn't removed old offline address and POI searches. They are still there in its current old-school form. With those the app for sure would not be returning results from countries of which it hasn't downloaded map.

As a Computer Scientist and IT professional since more than 40 years I appreciate that your roadmap is havy lifting. But by the same token I can confirm that you and your search team completely fail re. rule #1: "Do not screw your customers!"
You are "proud" to not have removed offline POI and address search? Well, removing the last straw would have been complete suicide.
Keeping Google based search in its place as it worked for 10 years, alongside your new search, would have been professional. You would get feedback from the geeks who dare the new stuff, while offering propoer search results for all others, while you do your homework for step #2 and #3.
And if there should be pride and emotions in the way of doing that: both do not pay your bills. Be smart instead.

PC browser goes to GD folder from Aug 2nd, version 4.18.0, not 4.18.1, even on PC.
Or do you have a MAGIC link instead :-) ?

I'm missing the 4.18.1 AFA on GD, Menion.

[Problem with SRTM/HGT:]

Problem with SRTM/HGT:
I downloaded some 1" elevation data from here: http://viewfinderpanoramas.org/dem1d.html

Go for Sonny's LIDAR DTMs instead. Much better than SRTM.

I think it is time for a drastic correction of approach here: whatever you do for iOS should not screw the 100000s of users from whom you make your living.
As long as the new search function is not professional, give the Android users back the Google based search.
Equal functionality is not a valid argument against this request, as the iOS version will lack essentials for years to come anyway.
At least give the existing and fully functional Google based search as an option to your (Android) users, PLEASE!

Android 11, 12, 13: mit x-plore geht der Zugriff, mit TC allerdings auch. Voraussetzung ist bei beiden, dass man die Berechtigungen bei Nachfrage zulässt. Ich habe schon erlebt, dass ich für jede einzelne App das private Verzeichnis-Betreten zulassen musste, also nicht einmal für alles unter /Android/data auf einmal.

Those are the changes:
- The OAM background from ZL 8 up now is rendered from the July 2023 edition of Christian's OAM vector maps (YES, OAM goes on - thank you, Christian!).
- Increased and earlier visibility of offshore energy and power sources for ZL 4 to 8, while reducing visibility of the land based installations for those low zoom levels.
Have a good time
Michael

Dies sind die Änderungen:
- Der OAM-Hintergrund für ZL 8+ ist nun aus Christians Juli-2023-Vektorkarten generiert (ja, es geht weiter; danke, Christian!).
- Intensivierte und frühere Sichtbarkeit von Offshore-Energie-Quellen für ZL 4 bis 8, wobei die Sichtbarkeit für die landbasierten Installationen reduziert wurde für jene Zoom-Ebenen.
Schöne Zeit
Michael
