After quite long time, finally some Beta version for testing. Not much big news, mainly a bunch of fixes. Hope you all will find something useful there.

Hi Menion,
I tried a mapsforge multi-language file (Berlin), but Locus Beta still says "Unsupported File Format".
What can I do ?
TXs and cheers

2 Wege: per USB an PC anschließen, eventuelle Screen Sperre öffnen am S7, dann erscheint Phone und Card. Frei beschreibbar.

oder: Dateien auf den internen Speicher laden via Browser etc, dann mit dem Dateimanager von Samsung auf die SD verschieben. Das funktioniert mit Android 4.4 wo der Blödsinn mit den SD-Einschränkungen eingeführt wurde

Variante von 2): wenn Du eine ftp- oder torrent-App nutzt zum download, dann landen die Dateien gfls. unter ext.SD-Kürzel/Android/data/technischer App Name/files, wenn als Ziel externe SD einstellbar sein sollte. Von dort wieder mit dem Dateimanager an den gewünschten Ort verschieben

Hello,
no it is not.

Idea already exists here: http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/more-comfortable-srtm-download-for-hill-shading

This link has some work around that I built.

Zum derzeitigen Punkt "Alle Bildschirme sperren" fällt mir die Überschrift "Auch Sperre mit Passwort ausschalten"

in very latest beta it worked again

Just started testing the new beta.
Impressed with the speed of hill shading at level 10 and higher. Congrats,  Menion!
Two issues, older,  but still existing in this beta:

1) quick map switch is still broken. In general, but this scenario should make it very clear. Both automatic map switch options being active,  selected map is Austria. Moving over Slovenia into the Balkans. Maps switch nicely without me noticing. Great. Going to quick map switch, the map shown is nowhere in the list, though.



2) rendering still mixes different map parts and tiles from different themes. Attached is only one example.




3) meanwhile numerous times recording screwed up.
After kms of recording, pressing the red stop button immediately Deleted the track!

Hi Menion,
not only me who suffers from missing priority support in Locus (see link below). And I am not re-opening the discussion about switching the library! But rather urge for selectively adding major useful features that MapsForge 0.5 delivers. And that a number of your competitors already support. Having villages supersede their neighborhood town or cities is simply a mess in Locus.

Same thing with the new MultiLanguage feature in MF 0.5.

Hi Menion,
just found that Locus has trouble with MapsForge Multi-Language map files.
Why is that, pls ?
And when can you fix this ?
TXs and cheers

Live tracking: icon info still misses speed information. I hope we agree that horizontal distance, speed and direction are relevant for this feature. Your buddy will hardly fall out of the sky nor climb up from center of the planet ... ;-)

Now the grid KMLs for the "continents" are completed - see attachments (limit is 4, hence a second post to follow) ...

@michaelbechtold - I am unclear of trade-off between your special KML and ordinary HGT files? Is purpose just to drastically reduce the number of files? Is there speed advantage? Where should KML file be placed and/or Locus configured to use? I tried replacing all HGT files with single KML file but then hill shading no longer worked. Sorry for all the questions but thanks for any help.

PS: I downloaded the HGTs via PC and copy to SD card, but I was tempted by the exercise over Easter ... :-)

Someone has complained that forcing download of HGTs from Locus itself requires a lot of manual zig-zag track creation, to trigger the downloads via "fill elevation". Those KMLs create points at each 1' for the "continents". Then you go to the folder, make those you want visible/selected, and fill elevation, so you get the HGTs :-)
The selection can be eased by placing the cursor in the middle of the country/region, sort by distance, then select first x points. Not ideal. Of course I'd love a ribbon selection of points on the map :-)

Here are the missing 2 KMLs ...

This dropbox link contains all KML files, as well as the XLS from which they are created (use "save copy" in LibreOffice, csv format): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m9dorglj0o85bys/AAAZ3daiOJZ0aELhay8v1uJPa?dl=0

@gynta: if you love and missed Scandinavia - here you have it. If you were concerned about the "add-ons" to Europe in the South-East - the boundaries I use are not a political or geographical statement, but rather eased my manual work considerably :-)
