Navigation to screen centre creates a reverse route. (screen centre as start and actual position as destination). This happens with all selected destinations. (contacts, my points, projection etc.)

Supplement: It's about the "Navigate to" function, which calls up the "Select destination" menu. After selecting the destination (screen center, contacts, my points, projection etc.), a reverse route is calculated, which is nonsensical and the start and destination have to be swapped manually each time. Has nobody else noticed this? I can't imagine that this only happens on my device.

As the route is rarely created the right way round, I did some more testing. It seems that the error always occurs when there is a satfix before the destination is selected. If the GPS signal is still being searched for (message "Waiting for GPS...), the route is created correctly. Unfortunately, the normal case is that you already have your GPS and then the route is always displayed the wrong way round.

Furthermore, when starting the navigation (icon Quick navigation in the toolbar above) the assigned preset is not loaded reliably. Sometimes yes, sometimes no... I still have to see if I can find a reason for this.

@Tapio
thanks for the map & theme. I'm unfortunately still unable to simulate it. This happened some time ago, but I hoped, it is fixed, hmm.

Hagen trip > I'm getting a nice 5.5h when using LoRouter https://link.locusmap.app/r/sjie8b . For me, a priority now is to fine-tune LoRouter times & parameters. We may look at BRouter later...

@Graf Geo
ah, thanks and sorry you had to describe it "again". I've forgotten to instructions generator  . The "Navigation" button in the toolbar is a shortcut to start the navigation immediately, without the "Navigation/guidance chooser". And yes, there was an issue. Fixed, thanks!

@Diddi
thanks, got it. Check please Beta tomorrow (or Friday) or there will be for 90% new public version on Google Play next week.

Danke, das erwartete ich auch und findet man auf einigen Screenshots im Forum.
Bei mir siehts so aus, keine Pfadangabe und keine Möglichkeit ein Pfad einzugeben.


Erst jetzt beim Posten sehe ich mein Problem. Die Teilen Checkbox muss weg, dann erst erhält man die Möglichkeit der Pfadangabe...
Jetzt ist mir alles klar, habe das Teilen übersehen

[beta version 4.22.2.1]

The new beta version 4.22.2.1 was just generated with a bunch of very interesting changes.
Have a nice weekend, we have four free days now, so excuse me and enjoy sunny days!

@Tapio
good point, thanks. I'll think about it ...

[@freischneider]

There seem to be minor crashes, so expect a new bug-fix version today.

@freischneider
problem with lost shaping/navigation points > thanks, got it

@Andrew Heard
I still can't entirely agree with the "Pick on the map" option in the selection dialog. Mainly because it will open another dialog with the map above the map planner. Does not make much sense to me, sorry.

Cross during init > well, it should not be a problem to tap on it. Usually, you should also see a blue loading screen. Not a big problem I believe, but yes, should be somehow blocked together with the hardware back press (just to be safe not to interrupt some main tasks during the start).

Sharing of user points > yes, it is planned. We now need a big switch to "Data manager V2". ETA? September 2024.

@Tapio
preview image size > improved gallery for viewing images is on the way (next month). Making the first image some kind of "Top image" and make it larger. Hmm, interesting idea to consider ...

@jonny.blue
401 error > hmm, it is a 401 HTTP error so it looks like a temporary glitch on the Grounspeak side.

[MapGooglePlay_4.21.1.5 RC_1125_beta]

General notes
There are more modifications, mainly to keep the bottom panel hidden when re-routing or restoring the previous plan. "Inverse route" added into menu + bunch of other various improvements. Thanks a lot for your opinions!

Beta version MapGooglePlay_4.21.1.5 RC_1125_beta published!

@Agus
thanks for pointing to the missing times when using BRouter. The issue was that BRouter used the old system over GPX files. I've changed it to use an identical system to the internal LoRouter. Even way types & surfaces are visible now 

@Graf Geo
Problematic red warning circles > firstly, thanks for sharing the track, it helped. I've made some changes to prevent this issue. Anyway, I'm curious if you did anything special when you planned this track. Because it has on almost every segment (between two shaping points) duplicate points at the start and at the end, that caused this issue. Can't imagine how this happened. You wrote you've used an online Route planner right?

Missing error messages > thanks a lot. It was not an intent. Fixed.

Error 10103 > this is weird because it means a problem with the internet connection. This should not happen here. I've not seen this before, so hard to help here. Are you sure you used offline! LoRouter? Even in the case of online, this does not make sense...

@freischneider
sorry, but your description is too complicated for me. Should be possible to record a short video with this issue? And agree, some generated instructions between manual segments, hmm should be doable.

Hello, I have just tried out the latest beta with the new route planner administration. Thanks for all that work! As is so often the case, you have to get used to the changes.

Some remarks: I myself hardly ever need the list with the via points/shaping points. It would therefore be better for me if it didn't open initially, but I could only open it (pull it up) when needed. At the moment it's the other way round: every time I want to edit a route with the route planner, the entire list opens, in which I may have 15 or 20 or even more shaping/via points. And every time I have to pull it down to make it disappear. Perhaps this behaviour could be offered as a selectable option in the settings.

The "collaps" function is very practical, but this is only included in the menu for the very last shaping point (the destination). So I have to scroll down to the very last entry in the list to be able to select "collaps". Perhaps this option could be offered in the menu for every single shaping point. Or in the icon bar on the top of the list.

Otherwise everything works quite well, a few translations (in German) are still missing in the menus, but it's a beta version

Just one more request: it would be nice if it would be possible to choose the position (size) of the menu when selecting the altitude profile so that only the altitude chart and not the two bar charts for route types and surface are visible. They take up a lot of space and I usually don't need them. (I can select the Graph Hopper, then they are not there, but it should also be possible with the LoRouter).

The latest Beta version does not show the estimated time when I use BRouter.

[MapGooglePlay_4.21.1.3 Route Planner_1125_beta]

Hi guys,
@Tapio & @Viajero Perdido , sorry, I've not yet looked on the database and issue in "GC My lists". Will try to do it next week.

Meanwhile: the new MapGooglePlay_4.21.1.3 Route Planner_1125_beta Beta version was published. Among some other minor fixes, there is a completely new system of handling shaping/via points in the route planner that should also fully replace the old "Navigate to" screen. So who wants to try, feedback is welcome! Thanks and have a nice weekend.

Mit der letzten Version wird mir nur ein weißer Bildschirm angezeigt.
Classic mit OAM.

Hi guys,

weekend, again? Damn
At least a bug-fix Beta version on the Drive.

@Diddi
update of single cache in new Beta! An update of a bunch of caches at once will have to wait a little. Remind me this once the new "Data manager" will be published (this year).

@slarti76
how do you share the location? There are more options and not all may work ...

@loudini
icons, thanks. I hope it is fixed now (because I can't simulate it).

Hallo in der aktuellen Beta v4.21.1.1 werden die (Auswahl) Icon nicht mehr richtig dargestellt. Es scheint, als hätte man nur den Schatten.

Gruß
LOUDINI

[@Andrew Heard]

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).

@Andrew Heard
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.

@balloni55
- 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.
