The Gpsies moduleis rather clunky and could be more condensed and offer multiselection.

And something easy to fix: after download of a track a new window appears with just the message that download was successful.
EDIT: btw I cannot find the download.
A green hint would totally be enough.

I wonder if there are more hq icons for Locus. The ones shipped with locus have a great resolution - for prehistoric smartphones.

How does downgrading work? I tried e. g. 3.37.2, but it cannot be installed, see attachment.

Route Planner 3.38.3 almost unusable:
All actions on points (POIs, track points) are unavailable, see screenshot ("Add" is just a text, clicking has no effect).

Cannot confirm. On Poi it offers me 3 kinds of points to add. Maybe some icon cache related thing?

"magnify all maps" on vector maps was good any time before, now it's broken. 125% is not magnifying , 150% same as 200.

3.38.3 first start with nullpointer exception and no map loading. Subsequent starts ok and look like v4 vector maps work again. Slower as v3 maps but acceptable. Edit: not even sure about this. I'd say GOOD JOB MENION. A big step forward. I am finally and exclusively using v4 maps and themes.
Expecting more bugs since this 3.38 is a big update.

Many thanks that we can turn off map smoothness. It's more transparent and direct this way.

And it runs great on my meanwhile very outdated Sony Z1.

No, same non-loading and white blocks with Elevate. As for VolUk, I am using Johns latest version he posted at the end of his thread here in this forum.

Crash gone. I switched from an sql vector map (topplusopen) to OAM v4 map/volUK - like 1 minute of white screen, I pressed zoom in/out numerous times... at some point map tiles appeared. Painfully slow.

I will not experiment. Want to avoid having to reconfig Locus if shit happens.

Yep, instant crash. Will downgrade.

Edit: don't know how. Will wait.

I've not implemented priorities with any consistency, certainly not different priorities for items according to the active style. I don't want to increase the size of the theme excessively and need to think about whether there are certain key items I should prioritise for different styles. I'm not sure if MF v5, which allows variables in themes, might help.

Oh sorry, I thought about if you could misunderstand my writing about the different sections. I didn't mean "priorities" in the technical xml sense, but in a general language sense. I meant that I was just wondering about general priorities in sections, i.e. the Hiking section shows hiking related POI sooner, Bicycle section shows no hiking route dots etc.

I think I like the brighter forest style, will see it "in the wilds" today

While map is painted, it is darker but then always is overlayed by brighter green. VolUk was darker before. Intended?

Ah, I was wondering if maybe there's some specific priorities in the different styles. I was using Allround, because I want to see biking/mountain biking routes. In order to avoid them, haha... 😂

Well, I had a look on the 2 raster maps I use. TopPlusOpen and Kompass. The size is pretty much perfect (a bit varying in different ZL). But I can see if Locus chose 2x instead 3x, it'll be too small again. I'd prefer to use it as it is now.

The custom algorithm is not possible. The whole logic is done in a lot lower in places, where I as app dev cannot touch ... somewhere deep in Android core.

But another idea, you could internally do a quality upscale when user downloads low resolution raster maps. You could do quality upscaling and offer such maps, if license allows, in your store and become wealthy.
