Hi,
  I rewrote big part of track recording part in Locus. Today I had small trip, together with small bus part it was

3 hours of recording, 16km, cca 5800 points. All without any problem!

so please try also.

hi guys,
  test new testing version 0.9.26.3

- also record NMEA from external bluetooth
- you can record all GPS data or only in same time as track record!

new version for un-patient testers

Hi guys,
  just quick explanation from me.

1. for using original OZF files, exist tool named Androzic I think, that should handle ozfx3 files directly.

2. I'm still working on Locus as you see, and support of different coordinate systems and projections isn't something, that "normal" user use. I want mainly do tool for normal users, not experts. On second side, If you create TAR map with locus and look into XML configuration file of every map, there is place to extension into another projections and datums. It's not my priority but if you want to slowly experience and increase usability of locus in this way, we should. Anyway always will be here need for converting maps into png or jpeg tiles packed in tar file. Support of OZFX files is currently out of my time possibilities.

hmm, this whole think about track recording has one problem. Track recording is by me only some bonus function in Locus. Another screen with track recording stats or graphs takes some time to create and I prefer give this time into maps or some extensions of maps. What you think about this ... I'll look again on integration of My Tracks. You can actually display My Tracks tracks on locus map. It's already possible. When I do some more, like ability to record and manage tracks directly from Locus, will it be enough?

hm interesting, I noticed troubles with running AR on 2.1A and lower and also some troubles with azimuth of camera, so wait for new version please, I have to fix AR addon a little

look like very serious problem. I'll have to look on it closely in next few day. Anyway guys, may you look into locus/logs directory and check if there is any error file? May contain something that should help me ...

 thanks

do you have phone in czech? App have no internal mechanism to switch languages. It set automatically language by your system.

hmm, "actual" news are here ... http://locus.asamm.cz/?page_id=29

about translation, Locus is already in Czech, English, Korean. Slovak users unfortunately see Locus in English. one guy is already trying to translate into slovak, but it will take a time. if you know anyone who would sacrifice some time to slovak translate, it's welcome

Hi,
  no you're not missing anything. I thought that this feature no one use, so I don't get too much time to it, to create it perfect. So, you told that switching works fine, OK, so I added at least this:
when you select "Guide on" .. guiding will be enabled on nearest point on track from you.

From you mean: When you have enabled GPS, it's you location, if not, it's center cross.

Try and let me know if need any improvements.

divím se pánové, že když už máte potřebu využívat Shocartí cykloserver mapy, že někdo z vás nestáhne celý balík do cca 2x2GB sqlite map a ten nenasdílí. Ušetřilo by to minimálně dost náročnou zátěž na cykloserver ...

hmm, I noticed some negative ratings on market but after almost hour of testing I cannot find any problem. Maybe it's any bug on A1.6? Did anyone have any starting issue? Please send me log from logcat Locus/logs directory (if contain any)! Thanks guys ...

[8.3.2011 - Locus 0.9.26.5]

8.3.2011 - Locus 0.9.26.5
Release candidate for tomorrow ...

• probably finally fixed "White dead"!!!

7.3.2011 - Locus 0.9.26.4

• improved a little satellite screen
• fixed some importing problems and also increased importing speed
• another fix to MGRS coordinate system
• updated all languages from crowdin
• many few small improvements as usual ..

6.3.2011 - Locus 0.9.26.3, AR 0.0.2
Another bigger update.

• fixed problem with AR plugin on A2.1. hope ... so?
• rapidly rewrote big part of AR, new design. Count that plus/minus buttons not work!

4.3.2011 - Locus 0.9.26.1, Contacts 1.1.1, AR 0.0.1
So, this is bigger update. A discovered possibility to add some permission request into own library. This is reason for new contact addon version. Otherwise there is no need to update this addon, or anyone have any "Contact" request? When you install this addon and then Locus itself, you should now see permission request also on this addon. Same is with Augmented reality addon. I want to prevent of usage by another 3rd party app without you knowing.

And please. I know about any problems on Galaxy TAB and Track recording which I want fix. But when you discover any other, create new topic in Troubles section and help me fix this. Thanks

• new Augmented reality addon - first try
• improved NMEA record. Check settings
• when you click on track - guide on, guiding will start on nearest point

3.3.2011 - Locus 0.9.25

• new version released on market, testing version with My Maps and AR (maybe) come tomorrow... (if you install app from market and you used previously testing version and have My Maps or AR button on right panel, crash is not a bug in app, just missing permissions. Wait for next testing version)

there is actually no way how to do this. In this topic we discuss about developing such a tool ...

ah, my mistake, I'll fix this ..

anyway, question on you is mainly if this system is usable. It's easist what I can do. I can add some setting also but this at least for me looks good ...
