hi guys, any suggestions to make it more usable for you? The solution in LM4 brings a lot more info and flexibility in the cost of the click or two more ...

Also, the detail displays a computed real distance (the first big value in the "Trackpoint X" screen) from your current location to the trackpoint which is something not available in the old "Pro" version.
Value "To end" should be visible without scroll on all devices together with the option to display detailed statistics for this segment etc etc ...

You have no idea how complicated this task is 

Hmm, a simple function is not so easy . The app keeps internally the list of last selected maps and does not make difference between base map or overlays. Anyway agree, it makes sense to keep a list only of the base maps. I'll improve it.

Ah damn, I was a little tired in the evening and fully forget about this ...

Sorry, versions uploaded, thanks!

[New version 4.8.2]

*** New version 4.8.2 *** uploaded to Google Play.

And customizable track screen buttons? Later

@CabrioTourer
I know I know. Andrew already reported this a few days ago here and I'm still unable to correctly simulate it. But I'll look at it more precisely at Monday, promise 

@luce
Alternative turn-off method > hmm I did no changes here. Interesting ...

"Hide" button. Agree with @freischneider, there is no space for another button. Anyway to explain: the app simply creates a list of buttons that should be placed at the bottom and only a certain number is visible, the rest is in the "three-dot" menu. So I promised a long time ago some kind of customization here > and this is ideal adept > allow to define order of these buttons.

Quick toggle between maps

Hmm thanks. App registered all selections of maps. I've improved it and it will register only big map screens now.

Release & Beta versions

guys, release, and beta versions have their own directories. Currently, the latest public is a "release" version so the Beta channel contains only an older version.

Dashboard

as @tapio wrote, I really use this system on more places. But agree it is not perfectly clear that tapping on highlighted item disables it. Maybe a simple description "Tap to hide" under the highlighted title should help to make it clear?

Option over "...", right also a solution. Btw. long click on the "Dashboard" in the function panel offer also "hide" option.

Oki, new version 4.8.1 published, so give it a try.

Most of the problems should be fixed I believe.

[@tapio]

@tapio
a) ah, custom "mapsVector" directory, thanks, fixed
b) fixed

@Žajdlík Josef
I'm stupid, thanks, will be fixed today

@Andrew Heard
1) right. The issue was caused by the work on the dashboard, but it may be fixed only by the new version.
2) I'm convinced that a single united "Dashboard manager" screen is the ideal solution, but I'm open to improvements of course.

The steps you wrote are correct. Most easy is now a long click on the dashboard button in the panel.

Thanks John for the feedback. "Bug" fixed.

Usability: I'll have to think about it a little more. But at least I fully agree, that the current solution is not ideal for 99% of users (that is my goal).

I wanted just to notify about the news on the web planner. Because this is (fortunately) mainly the task of Jan and Ondřej, I do not have to care about it and also do not have to help solve problems

So best to report any problems, as it usually
- generic repeatable issues on our help desk (probably fastest method)
- or for a more advanced topics or discussion, I've created a board here on the forum. I'll inform Jan and Ondřej to watch this board so they should hopefully react faster than when I have to inform them like now I do. Thanks

Before, centering was not necessary if I remember correctly.
You can enable very similar behavior to what it was before with Expert settings > Dual centering button option.

[Všechny funkce]

Ne v nastavení ale v Menu > Všechny funkce  > Nastavení > Zálohování.

To je akorát polínko do ohně pro mého kolegu který lobuje za nějaké sjednocení funkcí a nastavení .

Nope, it is intent. Rotation is by default active only when the map is centered. Otherwise map jumps under fingers and movement is not so friendly as with current system.
