i'm glad all works fine.

about navigation. I was searching a little and it seems then at least NDrive do not have any possibility to start navigation with external source. If you know about something, or have any other program that do what you want let me know. This should be nice feature but ...

Hi,
  is this really useful feature? ... exist any software on desktop that do this and also allow some export into gpx or kml files? If so, I think that this should be much more user-friendly then draw circles in android ...

it depend what you want.

shared mode is good when you still use internet and just want to have maps on any place fast and without problem. So you "pre-cache" maps with shared mode and you should be sure, you'll have maps at this place but also be sure that when you go in area where you don't have cached tiles, you'll download them from internet ...

if you plan to have any area for a trip, then you should use separate map which is completely offline, and after use you should delete it or store on desktop computer for later use. It just depend on you ...

I'm not sure if my explanation is understandable, but I hope it bring you at least something ...

enjoy app

Hi Jusc,
 so, offline mode allow you to use your online maps only from cache. So you can see map tiles that you already saw or tiles that you downloaded with "SQL shared mode"!! Did you used this mode? If you use "SQL separate mode", you download map as separate file and you have then select this map is second tab "Custom maps".


  So when you have enabled offline mode, there is no need for internet connection. I already tested this and seems that this work. Please play with it a little and I believe that it should work. Simple test is to watch some places in online mode, then switch to offline and restart application (to reload maps). You should see only your cached maps and on places where is no tile, you'll see only white area without any text.

  Did this work for you? If not, I'll send you my testing version. I did some improvements on map loading, so maybe this is "fixed" now (if there is any problem) ...

Hmm bad news for me ...

I'm currently trying to fix some problems with My Maps and during search I founded this. Seems that My Maps will not be accessible and available since 31. January ...

so seems that big part of work move to trash and fusion tables comes in foreground! ... achich ...

hehe, thank you scout  and don't worry, I have MGRS system on my TODO list ...

testing is very welcome. Actually I'm interested if anyone have similar problem as we discuss here (last two posts). I also have some issues with viewing some simple My Maps. So anything unexpected from you is welcome.

thanks guys

then whole menu where you choose source of coordinates (GPS, Map center, ...) do not work for you or just when you click on "Contact" in this menu? But this worked for you before right? Grr ... what the f***...

Hmm, problem with Bing, I'll look at it.
I'm glad you like it. Adding waypoints during track record is good idea. I'll think about it!

so Rodrigo,
  test new testing version please

[28.1.2011 - Locus 0.9.7.3]

Hi guys,
  this is just my personal testing build and also for few of you that helps me find unwanted bugs and problems

28.1.2011 - Locus 0.9.7.3
looks like long time since last version ...

• added handling with geocaching waypoints (adding, deleting, editing)
• added support for geocaching field notes (stored in /Locus/gcFieldNotes.txt file)
• new try of parking service - menu -> tools
• improved quick access to points database from right quick panel
• question on app exit (when no action like track record or parking is running. In this cases, app only hide but do not close)
• many improvements by your feedback here or by email ... you'll see ...

24.1.2011 - Locus 0.9.7.1

• fixed problem with huge icons on some My Maps maps (force close after you checked map and wanted to go back on map)
• you can now set default track with relative (actual) in pixels, or absolute (in metres) - mainly for berkley
• some fixs of track style
• few improvements with adding pois to category (mainly adding from address and contacts)

hmm,
  so may you share this map with me also? All maps I tried, works for me, so url for unselectable map is welcome. And also question ... did this map works in android google maps?

Hi,
  seems that openmaps.eu are available only in online Java applet. Exist any API for access to this maps?

Hi,
  it's really some problem in program or on your side. May you please describe your method how you download map? Which area, which donwload type (SQL shard, SQL separate, ...) ... this have to work!

Hi,
don't worry, I like constructive critic!!

as I see, I actually released version with new bugs when adding contacts. Grr ... Oki oki, I see all problems and I'm sure, all should be fixed!

so let's go on it ...

Hi,
  so since 0.9.6 is in application "file checker" which test cache files. If any of them is too big, app will show dialog with additional information and also with possibility to delete just part of tiles, depend on time. Unfortunately, function that delete rows from database and then compress file ("VACUUM") takes sooooo long (around 10 hours on 2GB file), so I created method that directly copy tiles from old file to new and then old delete and replace with new. This method, on 2GB file, when all tiles are copied, takes 2hours, so better then before.

 It's written in description anyway, I really suggest to delete big file instead of this method. uff ...
