@john_percy
sorry, but I do not know what to do with this. There really is some problem with the correct value, but not sure if this is an issue on the Locus Map side. It is a little problematic because of some automatic rescaling that Locus Map does on the background to display all maps with the "same" resolution.
So agree, zoom value does not work perfectly, but from my point of view, it is a too minor issue to spend more time on it.

@tapio
problem with the color of icons: same with the latest Beta version?
low FPS, understand, thanks. Same with recent Beta version and same with non-vector (any online for example) map?

Not sure how may I help here. If you display in the top toolbar "Map" label, then you should see the value that is set in the defined URL template. Maybe in case, you use some "Rescale" of the map (so you see something like 16/400%), then map zoom may not look the same in web Google Map...

Hi John,
easy to test out of LM.

1. ... no effect
https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=50,14&zoom=12
https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=50,14&zoom=18

2 ... should work
http://www.google.com/maps/@50,14,12z
http://www.google.com/maps/@50,14,18z

3. ... should work
https://www.google.com/maps/@?api=1&map_action=map&center=50,14&zoom=12
https://www.google.com/maps/@?api=1&map_action=map&center=50,14&zoom=18

---

Test in Locus Map was positive (I just tried 3rd option) and it seems to work correctly at least with Google Chrome and also with Google Maps app (there seems to be some kind of zoom animation, so not sure if displayed zoom was exact).

Troubles & Questions / Re: Clean up strm folder / .hgt files?

« on: November 12, 2019, 21:32:26 »

Hi, interesting question. No useful method to do this ...
Currently best, very user-friendly solution: delete "srtm" directory and over Locus Store in detail of LoMap for the required area, download new data manually again.

Why not? You may still insert coordinates over two small buttons next to latitude/longitude fields.

The current system is not a bug, but an intent-based on the discussion here on the forum during beta testing. Anyway, you may give a try to the Beta version, where it may be improved.

Troubles & Questions / Re: Points - Photo Attachment - No apps available message

« on: November 10, 2019, 21:32:57 »

Hmm is it somehow possible to detect how the path has changed? App already do some "auto-fix", so some changes in internal structure are able to fix automatically, so maybe, if both paths will be similar, I may improve it as well.

Hi, does it happen for all the photos? Also for a new added? Maybe a path is no longer valid, the file was renamed etc?

By "low fps" you mean a slow scrolling or the fact that it takes some time till the screen with app selection appears? The same screen is available also when you edit function panel, so expect that you have the same issue there as well.
Slow map ... hard to say what it may cause? The map on the main screen works well? Usually, a restart of the device solve most of problems .

I do no like ideas that sound too interesting for me

New Beta version 3.41.0.1 ... just publishing.
- improved "Quick www bookmark", mainly added option to specify the preferred application
- in Track screen > waypoints > new option to edit points
- the first attempt to use Instabug for more easy automatic/manual (just shake with the device) bug-reporting for beta versions.

If there will be question on most complicated part of Locus Map, it will be for sure detail screen for points. The over-complicated old system (more than 5 years old code) with "view" and "edit" in the same screen and huge complexity. I need to split these screens and simplify ... and it will hurt, sorry. In this version is the first attempt simply just for track waypoints. More will come ...

EDIT: John, may you share a link you use? I'll check it.

@tapio

This feature was made (also as its name say) to sending Url links to any web page/service.
What this version brings is a nice extension that has its limitations. In case, we decided to officially support also applications in the device then yes, icon and also a direct selection of request receiver make sense.

So your both questions/ideas are related to this and I'm not yet sure about it .

@Christian
missing exact steps are usually a problem.
Generated points > you mean shaping/via-points that are visible only in the route planner? They are stored in special binary format In "tracks" table, "extra_data" column, so nothing manually editable/usable.

@tapio
hmm probably better this url, thanks. Anyway keep in mind, that I'm able to change it only in samples. In already existing definitions, this won't change.

And @john_percy, we talk about a nice small feature "Quick www bookmark".

Btw. this was recently improved and now supports also Android based intents, like mentioned google.navigation intent. So in this case, it may look like

Code: [Select]

google.navigation:q={mapLat},{mapLon}
which immediately starts the navigation app on current map center > very handy .

Generally, it may be used to some kind of inter-application communication if the second app is able to handle "intents".

@balloni55
I know about this issue and was never able to find out a reason why this happens and also how it solves. Your method seems to cause this always, perfect! Still not sure why this happens, but will be solved in next bug-fix version, thanks a lot!

Troubles & Questions / Re: LoMap problems after moving Locus to new phone

« on: November 08, 2019, 07:15:50 »

Oki, understand.
So is there anything I may help now?

It should be useful to compare the checksum of files and in case of the positive result, create a log at the moment, you try to display the map. Inside of the log may be visible reason why LM refuses your maps.

Yes, they are. The current for-all available version is third in the row to be true. The previous versions were tested on 5-10% of users to catch the worst issues that may appear. This third seems to be stable enough.
So differences: only a few fixed bugs.

Troubles & Questions / Re: How do I remove this error message from route planner?

« on: November 07, 2019, 21:00:19 »

Hello,
seems you try to compute route with an engine that requires internet. Not sure what exactly you try to do, anyway suggest to read about route planner in our manual, mainly this section that probably solve your issue.
