@Menion - Presets aren't part of the "config only" backup - I was shocked and surprised! They absolutely should be in. The config backup is pretty bare-bones. IMO also Brouter profiles should be in. And dashboards. And interpolators.

It's all settings, it's all result of our time investment, it's all small. I think it already was in.

Sorry, habe nicht soviel Zeit. Nein, nicht nur Einstellungen, sondern das Preset-System. Damit kann man eine beliebige Anzahl an Einstellungen mit einem Klick treffen. Also, halte Ausschau nach der Doku zu Presets. EDIT: https://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:settings:presets
Insgesamt würde ich dazu raten, umfangreiche Presets für umfassendere Situationen zu erstellen ("Planung", "Wandern", "MTB"...)

Zur Inspiration ein paar Screenshots.

Das Anwenden von Presets kann dann auch via Tasker geschehen, womit vieles möglich wird (automatisieren, vom Homescreen aus steuern etc.). Nur falls Du Tasker kennst.

Solved 
In my relevant presets I had "Always screen on=Disabled"

"Presets"?

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.
