[23.1.2011 - Locus 0.9.6.2]

Hi guys,
  I just prepared new version which as usual, require testing!


23.1.2011 - Locus 0.9.6.2

• hopefully fixed problems with login to MyMaps on android 2.1
• added support for import GC PocketQuery packet in zip. Please try, I'm not premium member and don't have any sample zip
• added "Navigation" item to context menu of points which lunch google navigation
• some machination with advertisements. Actually, advertisement brings me around 3$/day. At least something. But advertisement on main map screen is really terrible. So what you think about adding it on screen with map choose and screen with data managing and without possibility to disable? Will you be angry? (It's just a little research)

Ah, I'm not a premium member so I don't know about it. May anyone send me sample zipped file? This can surely be done

EDIT:
  so this feature is added now into beta version here viewtopic.php?f=21&t=159

[ACTUAL TASK LIST]

Here is my personal TODO list ...

Hi onelook,
  seems that you weren't here for a time but I'll try ...

currently we founded big problem with using SQL map fiels bigger then 2GB. There is limitation in Android that do now allow use this. I wanna ask you, if you do not want to create just a simple utility that should separate big SQLite files into small part by any algorithm. Maybe also create with this conversion any text file, that help me with initialization. I should then (maybe) create, that all separated SQL files work as one map. What you think? I have too much work so if anyone more experienced with SQL (like you) should do this, that would be welcome ...

Thanks daled for email. Hmm seems that this is problem in one external library that help me connect to google account and only on 2.1 phones. Grrr ... thanks, I have to find any fix!

Hi,
main purpose of all checkbox is "show this item on map". It's same with My Maps!

"null" is mistake of course, thanks

these complex maps are really nice, but I'm not sure, if I can find any solution to show them. Loading maps from Google account is not in my hands, it's part of one external library ...

and description: I don't think that description is so weird. But I'm more programmer then technical documentation writer, so any help, idea, tips, are surely welcome Thanks

Hi,
 when you have WhereYouGo directory in your internal memory, that seems that all works fine. So probably you have wrong downloaded cartridge. Did you read first point in FAQ here? Try to download cartridge with desktop browser!

I changed topic name. About SQL support read for example here or here ...

just fast answer:

best to clear online maps: just delete correct files in mapsOnline directory!

purpose is: I live in Prague so when I watch map, tiles are cached. I want to go out and I'm not sure if I saw all map tiles in this area at this zoom, so I download whole area with this method which make me sure that all maps are ready for offline and also save me time by downloading tiles that I already saw!

Problem is that I wanted to be compatible with SQL map format of RMaps, but I see, that was a bad idea. SQLite RMaps format contain only x, y, z (tile position) and image data. No informations about tile download time or method of download.

no problem best is on email mailto:locus@asamm.cz">locus@asamm.cz! Thanks ...

unfortunately maps bigger then 2GB are loaded without any warning, but they not work correctly. Seems that all tiles that are in file places over 2GB limit are ignored and internal database handler throws exceptions! Because of this, I disabled support for this big maps!

Big maps will be disabled until I find any method how to manage this issue ...

Sorry, I thought that there is no limit for cached maps but seems that android has generally problem with SQL files bigger then 2GB so I'm still not sure how to do it, but you actually have to check manually if your cached maps aren't too big. I'll have to do some protection but still not sure how ...

Unfortunately no solution for using maps bigger then 2GB is available. (currently)

Oki,
  actually removed. On all actions (Locations, You See, Inventory) was behavior that when only one item is available, WhereYouGo jumped directly on item page. Will be in next release (0.4.13)

[EDIT]

Hi,
  so fixed version is here for testing with many improvements also ... as usual

about MyMaps ... thanks for your report. Please try it now ... you can now select type of map (public, unlisted), also all map should be clickable without problems.

map you don't see! Interesting is that I added this map into My Maps, and google maps do not see it too. Also when I receive data from My maps, this map isn't there. Anyway .. how did you created this complex map with folders?? Seems that this map will be problem and I have no idea how to receive this data ...

And please, beware direct contact with me. After I read newest comment on market, I know new information about myself!

"Use authentication credentials of an account? Are you smoking crack? I don't care what reasons you give, could easily be BS. Screw this app."

enjoy new version

EDIT:
  I think that new version should be posted on market soon. So if you found any errors, let me know. Otherwise I'll probably tomorrow send this child into world ...

Hi,
  very interesting offer, but as I wrote few times before, WhereYouGo is created with OpenWIG library. It's the core of this application. I created just the GUI, maps and stuff around but handling with gwc files isn't in my power. Problem is that I don't know LUA language and that is also reason why my response here on forum on WhereYouGo problems, are much satisfactory!

  anyway, OpenWIG still contain few bugs which aren't fixed yet. Please try to contact author of OpenWIG if he will have time and taste to work on this. If he will agree, I should also. Only problem should be for me a time. Currently I'm fully working on SmartMaps voice navigation and Locus so WhereYouGo facelifting will come later (march I expect). Until that I'll not have any time ...
