Hello,
you are most probably using the unsupported combination.

Please use the BRouter app downloaded from Google Play together with routing data downloaded over this app and the routing profiles also recommended for this app.

Use internal LoRouter with routing data downloaded over the Locus Map app and mainly routing profiles optimized for Locus Map or an older version of BRouter. The new version of the BRouter currently supports features not yet implemented in the Locus Map app.

Finally, after a longer time, the new Beta version. Among support and maintenance, I've been mainly focused, already for almost 2 months, on the new Data manager, so there are not many updates, just a few nice tweaks (mainly for geocaching).

Icon size > it is a mystery for me Andrew, sorry. There is no reason for this behavior and I'm unable to simulate it for now.

- images in GC logs > they were missing, fixed, thanks (it needs to redownload caches, not just update)
- "GC" letters prefilled > done, but it is not perfect for now. Cursors remain at the start for now. Sorry, unsolvable issue for now because of technical limits
- "Filter name" > When you edit the filter, at the start is the "Name" field > it is the name of the filter itself!!. So it is not a history, but the list of saved filters.
- "Bearing below compass arrow" > ah thanks, this setting was related to the old compass arrow, which is now used only in the Locus Classic. I'll remove it. It does not work for almost three years and you are the first who complains.

What I, and probably many other users, use is this WS07 sensor https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001792309115.html . Battery lasts for one year and works without any problems.

I've answered to you over email, so check your mailbox.

Hi lor74cas,

there were some changes on the Crowdin side, but even our main account requires only code from the email. There isn't any alternative option except auth-app? I would expect some "Use another method" button, where your email should be used as an authenticator.

Unfortunately yes.

I've been using for many years ADB plugin to Total commander ... can't live without it

@freischneider , for your info. BRouter (or extension as LoRouter) does not have the "Suggest circular route" feature implemented. So for this, we use the "GraphHopper" service. This difference is not clearly visible, sorry for this. You may notice it when selecting the routing type in thsi "Suggest circular route" feature. In that moment, you may notice that you select the profile in the GraphHopper service and not the LoRouter.

Hmm, indeed ... question to AI reveals that it really is not as simple as I thought. Uff ...

As of my last update in April 2023, whether the private directory (like `Android/data/menion.android.locus`) of an Android app is automatically transferred to a new device when using the built-in copy/transfer functionality in Android depends on several factors:

1. **App's Backup Configuration**: Android apps can specify what data gets backed up and what doesn't through the Android backup service. If the app's developer has configured the app to exclude certain data or directories from backup, that data won't be included in the transfer.

2. **Type of Transfer Method**: Different transfer methods (such as Google's backup service, manufacturer-specific transfer tools, or using an external backup and restore application) have varying capabilities regarding what data they can transfer. Some methods may only transfer app APKs and some basic data, while others might transfer more extensive app data.

3. **Android Version and Device Manufacturer**: The specific features and limitations of the transfer process can vary depending on the Android version and the device manufacturer. Some manufacturers might offer more comprehensive data transfer tools than others.

4. **User Permissions and Settings**: The user's backup and transfer settings also play a role. For example, if a user has opted out of certain types of data backup, those data won't be transferred.

5. **Data Stored in `Android/data` Directory**: Typically, the data stored in the `Android/data` directory of an app is considered app-private data. This data is not usually included in automatic backups to Google Drive (unless the app developer has explicitly implemented backup logic for it). Therefore, it's less likely that this data will be transferred automatically to a new device.

### Recommendations:

- **Manual Backup**: If you have important data in an app's private directory, it's a good practice to check if the app provides a way to manually back up data (like an export feature) and use that to transfer your data.
- **App-Specific Instructions**: Refer to the app's documentation or contact the developer for specific instructions on backing up and transferring data.
- **Test Transfer**: If possible, before switching to a new device, you might want to test the transfer process with a secondary device to see if all necessary app data is carried over.

In summary, while some app data is transferred automatically when switching Android devices, the `Android/data` directory's contents may not be included, depending on the factors mentioned above.

It's time to release a version with some news ... so be it: https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=8743.0

@T-mo
full-screen mode is in expert settings because it is problematic and not reliable. We'll look at it.

Routing data downloader - I do not perfectly understand what you want to update.
 - update of segments when "Auto-update" is disabled does not work for you?
 - routing data per degree > why this? Are current files too big? This is anyway technically complicated and I see no benefit.
 - update time per element > what does it mean?

@Andrew Heard
Interesting, I'm playing with it and for me, size of offline LoPoints is really controlled by the "LoPoint icon size" option. Interesting...

Zdravím,
souhlas, může být, tedy další Locus Map verze ...

iOS does not slow down the Android version, fortunately. We are still (only) two guys on the whole Android world and own 3D maps is not in our possibilities. iOS version will use MapLibre library for maps, so there is a huge chance, it will have 3D maps quite easily (at least compared to Android).

Correct, Android 5 is still a minimal required Android version.

Thanks @Graf Geo
indeed, the handling of this setting was not correct. Will be fixed in the next app version.
