let´s try it in your wording,

attached screencast start with restored backup of my  "Geocache" preset
sec 7 - i restore my "Basic Setting" preset
sec 18 - i edit function panel  of "Basic Setting"
sec - 27 i add function "Weather"
sec 30 - "Weather" is added to list
sec 34 - back to map view, "Weather" isn´t visible
sec 42 - back to presets an restore "Basic Setting"  once again
sec 44 - back to map view, "Weather" is visible
sec 58 - i remove "Weather"
sec 62 - back to map view, "Weather" is furthermore visible
sec 69 - back to presets an restore "Basic Setting"  once again "Weather" is´nt visible

please read menions post carefully again:

@balloni55: seems there is still a problem with understanding "presets" . There really is not anything like "active preset". It is just a bunch of settings that, after click, is set. Imagine it like "backup of settings", that you simply restore by one click, nothing more!

Your observed behaviour is exactly as it is intended. There is no "active preset"!!! This also means, that the changed settings of the preset are not applied until you "run" or "tap" the preset.

Another try for explanation: try to think of a preset as a list of instructions (like a batch file or a computer program) for settings which can be "processed" by tapping on the preset. If you change something in this list, it is not automatically applied but only when you process this list (in Locus: by tapping the preset). Similar to when you change some lines in a batch file and save it, it is not executed automatically.

Troubles & Questions / Re: UTM projection is not precise

« on: June 28, 2017, 18:32:24 »

I think Locus is treating UTM-coordinates correct. But for checking with professional conversion software you should provide the coordinates in degree of your points too.

In general a UTM- grid is not exactly "rectangular" compared to the degree-grid of the same region. But it is more or less rotated, meaning the meridian of the UTM-grid are *not* running from geographical North to south. Please take a look at the image:

As you can see the black lines of degree-grid are not parallel but lightly rotated to the colored UTM-grid, especially on the sides of an UTM-zone.

The other point to consider is, that UTM is just a projection of the earth's surface which is nearly a sphere and can't 1:1 projected into a rectangular system. So simplified: 1 meter in UTM grid is just "at average" 1 m in reality, depending in which location within an UTM-zone you are measuring. The differeces are of course very low, but a distance on real earth of 5000 m could be a just distance of for example 4998 m in UTM-grid.

So we can't 1:1 convert UTM-meters in real-world meters. Also each grid system uses another model of Earth with slightly different diameters of their models.

Troubles & Questions / Re: Exporting from Locus Pro to Garmin

« on: March 05, 2017, 17:03:00 »

If you are a PM, you can use "geocaching4Locus"
- after installation of GC4L login to geocaching com
- set filter inside GC4L e.g. Tradi and Multi
- pan map to area you are intrested for geocaches
- select "caches arround"
- set count of caches you want to download
- download caches and store them in a separat folder
- open this folder and export all geocaches as .gpx

I offer my thanks and best wishes to menion and all who work to make LocusMap what it is.  It has given me so much pleasure to use with OpenStreetMap that allows me to continue my love of cartography in a practical way.  Long may it continue.

Troubles & Questions / Re: Elevation gain

« on: November 21, 2016, 18:13:32 »

For global info: http://www.locusmap.eu/everything-you-always-wanted-to-know-about-elevation-in-locus-but-were-afraid-to-ask/

I do not have a pressure sensor so when I found that altitude data of the recorded track with just gps are crazy I tried to solve.

First you need a good accuracy of recorded track points:
settings -> track rec -> choose your profile settings --> requested accuracy set a strict value (for me 30mt)

Second you can have better SRTM values using HGT files with 1" arc insted of 3"
http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/hgt-elevation-data-display-if-both-1%E2%80%9D-and-3%E2%80%9D-resolution-hgt-files-are-present-in-the-srtm-directory
http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/Coverage%20map%20viewfinderpanoramas_org1.htm
http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/dem3.html

and if you want a costant application of srtm data and bypass the "fill data.." after track recorded use this:
in settings -> gps and position -> altitude manager -> settings -> srtm data -> replace gps values

Does this stuff you are telling me apply to me since I have a baro sensor or just to someone who is using a device WITHOUT a baro sensor? I hate to just start changing values i do not understand if it is going to make it worse for my particular phone. With a baro sensor do I still want to bypass the fill data and replace gps track values or is this just what you did because of the device you were using with no baro sensor?

You started this topic with a question about elevation gain, not about pressure sensor settings, after some posts we now know that your device has the pressure sensor.
Before this we also talk about SRTM.
If someone else in future will read this topic will find something usefull about elevation gain becouse the post title is ELEVATION GAIN.

If you wonder if "this stuff" is about pressure sensor, read carefully what I wrote "I do not have a pressure sensor", nothing in my post is about pressure sensor.

And if you "hate to just start changing values i do not understand ..." you can start study how things work, you didn't know to use side panel, you didn't know that "Elevation gain = elevation (uphill)" now you know becouse someone used his time to answer you even if this things are explained in the documentation and in other posts.

Now I can answer your questions:
1) No
2) This is just what I do because my device has no pressure sensor.

P.S.
Strava does not have the truth, no software and no device has the truth.
Put the same track gpx file into 3 different account with different algorithms you'll obtain 3 different altitude gain.
I use Locus on two phones (no baro) and a garmin forerunner and you'll see that the 3 tracks have differences not only about the altitude gain.
I agree with michaelbechtold "Elevation collected from GPS in mobile devices is like rolling the dice around the true curve."
So you need to study wich way is better for you/your device/your habits/place of use.

Regards

Another place where the data manager screen is described incorrectly. It doesn't deal with local files any more.

@michaelbechtold and @joeloc - no need to be quite so cynical and aggressive in some of your posts, we re all ordinary people in this forum, not robots. I don't see need for swear words (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profanity).

Troubles & Questions / Re: [Q] Palettes for coloring

« on: June 06, 2016, 20:45:29 »

There are 4 CPT files. Color gradient is based on this web. The color steps work pretty well I guess 

Download

• lowland.cpt
• highland.cpt
• alps.cpt
• mountains.cpt

Install

Create interpolators folder in Locus > data and download the files to the interpolators folder.

Themes

Lowland.cpt
Range -50 to 1000 m ASL (white color over 1000 m) /  25 m and 50m steps

Highland.cpt
Range 100 to 2000 m ASL (white color over 2000 m) / 50m and 100 m steps

Alps.cpt
Range 400 to 4500 m ASL (white color over it) / 100 and 200 m steps

Mountains.cpt
Range 1000 to 6500 m ASL (white color over it) / 200 and 250 m steps

Screenshots

Lowland theme - Central Bohemian Uplands - Highest peak about 800 m ASL



Highlandtheme - Krkonose mountains - Highest peak 1602 m ASL



Alps theme - Austrian Alps



Mountains theme - Nepal



Highland vs Alps theme - High and Low Tatras in Slovakia



Edit: modiy altitude ranges and steps

Troubles & Questions / Re: Daily kilometres

« on: June 05, 2016, 22:51:40 »

Hi,
Start track recording every time when you start cycling / travelling. Save the tracks all in the same folder.
In folder mark all saved tracks - go to tool icon down in the right corner - use arrow up icon - statistics.

Hope that helps.

Troubles & Questions / Re: Slower on a newer phone?

« on: June 05, 2016, 15:52:45 »

I don´t understand...
Backup/Restore has nothing to do with Locus beta tests.
For beta testing you have only to install Locus Free (parallel to Locus Pro version). You can use both versions at the sam time if you want
The free version becomes from time to time a full version for users who are participating in beta member group.
