I noticed the online/offline Lopoints are really small. If things are too small, maybe the elderly amongst us forgot their glasses, we can use Zoom Lock.

Shouldn't the Lopoint vector overlays scale according to the zoom lock? In my screenshot, the zoomlock zoom is at 300%.

I have general questions:

a) Any difference to the available OAM Mapsforge V5 maps?
b) When will they be in the store?
c) Are they still exclusively used for e. g. retrieving the city name (for track naming)?

I noticed having more *.db of the same area (one is from asamm, the other from OAM) is not ideal. When I display Lopints Offline via the "Map-screen content" it displays many points twice because of the two databases.

Hi,

by the end of March I will need a new subscription and my LoCoins stack up. I know "Payment via Locoins" has been worked on, but I do not find anything related in the software. So, will it be possible? How?

thx

[by length and not by distance?]

May I remind you guys kindly about OPs question? 😁

"Is it possible to sort search results of tracks by length and not by distance?"

I think it would be great if we could sort search results, by everything that makes sense. (Length of track, Name, Creation time, Distance from map center etc etc)

I was a bit unclear. Results of course were sorted, but user cannot apply another kind of sorting.

I've read criticism about Locus not supporting rotating text on the map for better readability. Probably a bigger thing, something that has implications on performance. @Menion, are you planning to work on this? I'd love if it would rotate text 180 (unnoticeable) - if necessary. Screenshot.

New beta, great. Map source in presets, bottom panel working again, thank you.

Thanks for your dedication. As for bulk unzipping directly on Android, bulk unzipping to same folder worked for me with ZArchiver.
And for bulk downloading with GDrive app one has to go to the real files ("Speicherort anzeigen" - initially there's a list of shortcuts only as for Germany 1").
So, it was a bit tricky.

Guys I had some ideas about backups, you may want to look. To summarize:

1.: Provide 3 backup sets: Everything, Settings only, User defined

2.: Allow to use any of those in Auto backup

https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/30245-allow-settings-only-backup-as-auto-backup-better-design-of-backup

Auto backup is currently unattractive for me because of tracks.db - I don't ever need it to be included into auto backup at all.

Not using sync, as long as it doesn't allow to exclude specific folders (I have little hope here.)

I agree with Freischneider, splitting zip does not feel good for me. Keep it simple.

Hello,
I use the pc for convenience and I also do it to have a bigger screen than the phone one, so I suggest inserting an option to hide the top bar that you see in the attachment, which most of the time is a useless waste of space.

Oh, I remember I made that suggestion short after the web planner appeared... IMO it's super obvious, especially since we have wide screens, 16+ : 9 aspect ratios...

UI - I think SET/Recalculate position should be swapped. Typically, bottom right has OK (what you could say "Set" is, and it was there before). In my quick workflow I almost end up recalculating all when I just wanted to change routing profile.

[The user may want to export to multiple files.]

I noticed, in case of Export multiple Points, the checkbox "Export to single file" is missing - it does always export to one file. The user may want to export to multiple files. Currently impossible.

[In Route Planner, changing a trackpoint to a green shaping point makes Locus crash reliably.]

EDIT: Fixed in 4.12.2.6

Anyone else having this serious issue?

In Route Planner, changing a trackpoint to a green shaping point makes Locus crash reliably.

No matter if I come from an existing track via Re-Route or on planning a new track.

I wanted to change an old planned track, which just has 4 shaping points (another old bug, they disappear for unknown reasons) - I can't change it, have to create a new track.

Du hast LM3, ahhh. Deine Idee kannst Du ja dem Dev. vorschlagen, das geht im helpdesk.locus.com
Aber bei Balloni geht es doch? Er zeigt definitiv einen Trackpunkt an. Das musst Du mal versuchen. Hab ja LM3 nicht mehr.

OT - Muss ich mal loswerden:
Ich halte nicht viel davon, dass zweigleisig gefahren wird. Nervt auch schon etwas im Forum.
Entgegen aller gut gemeinten Ankündigungen wird LM3 irgendwann nicht mehr nennenswert weiterentwickelt. Will jemand wetten? 😁

@Menion, what I was saying that all those were missing in the "configuration only" backup. I consider those systems part of "configuration" because they are the result of configuration by the user.

Yes, a more sophisticated backup system would be nice. Personally, I'd prefer an auto backup without the faaaat DBs, so I wish it was more configurable. DBs - I back them up manually and only sporadically. I have auto gpx exports anyway.

Menion, I think the "configuration only" backup is lacking important and time consuming user configuration works... and should be included IMO:

/data/presets
/data/dashboard
/router/profiles2

I was surprised you didn't include them. I was expecting it to backup "all but the point/track databases".
