You may know the more precise LiDAR SRTM files which have a higher precision:
http://data.opendataportal.at/dataset/dtm-germany

Locus  store does also distribute SRTM files. My questions:

a) Does Locus distribute LiDAR (if available for region) or standard SRTM files?
b) Will it overwrite SRTM files?

I'm especially interested in b) because I have carefully placed all LiDAR SRTM files. It's no problem ti get them back, but maybe the store overwrites with low precision SRTM files and unnoticed by me.

TIA

I like your improvement to GPS, hope they work well. As for the startup screen, it may be funny for a moment, but not in the long run. I'd choose something more conservative.

As a more general thing, I wish for putting more love into a) POI and b) Statistics.

And not only statistics... There is/was that great Windows Application called "GPS Trackanalyse.net" which helped a lot not only in statistics, but also rebuilding of GPX files, minimize # of trackpoints etc. Since there is no really good application on Windows, Locus could fill the gap.

As for POI, they are still clunky to use. That scrolling and adding 100 thing, then show all on map, it is not really good. If we have already planned routes, we also only need POIs around the track. I think Menion you do not use POIs too much.

And as for another offline thing, Geonames  could also get some love. Auto download, help by the store, whatever. Currently we can use the text files from GNS server, but your naming convention is different to the files on the GNS server. http://geonames.nga.mil/gns/html/namefiles.html

Hallo Leute,

ich bin am Sonntag unterwegs gewesen und habe einmal mit meinem Sony Z1 + Locus (hat Lidar SRTM-Daten) und mit meinem extrex Vista HCX gleichzeitig aufgezeichnet.

Die Höhenprofile sind sehr unterschiedlich. Das macht mich stutzig. Locus hat maximal 334m Höhe aufgezeichnet, Garmin gerade etwa 300.

Was ist da los? Ist schon etwas weit weg--- woher hat das Garmin die Höhen?

GPXe siehe Anhang, vielleicht mag sich das ja mal jemand anschauen.
Bzgl. anschauen: GTA funktioniert nicht mehr gut, aber mal schnell visualisieren lassen kann man z.B. hier: https://www.j-berkemeier.de/ShowGPX.html - gpxsee.org geht auch...

Danke

Fixed version 3.29.1 just uploaded to Google Play.

I was able to download Kompass maps (not worth it IMO, but hey) now, even though it was very slow.

- The world map is not used for Kompass maps, but it should, maybe it only works for maps under /mapsOffline?
- The search dialog of Locus store cannot be displayed on lockscreen
- In the history of bought items, there should be a link to the product page. When I had problems with Kompass maps, I always had to use search.

I bought the Kompass Sauerland map - download does not start. Edit: tried the other Sauerland map, now used 700 coins. What it does: I tap on "Download", progress bar appears for a short time, then download button appears again, nothing happened.

Hello,
ah ok, thank you for testing. To be true, I hoped to solve this with any extra settings anyway for now, I do not have better solution. New version is planned on Wednesday 9.

I just recognized the option, I hope it is a solution for Sony Z1, it often shows wrong directions on using hw compass. A weird behaviour.

I found, other communities had a hard time with this (and wow, what an amount of work):

Here is, I think, the logic they use now:

Related: Can't I import multiple pois as waypoints into a track? As it seems i can only add one by one.
I am planning routes and would love to get Pois from poidb into a track. Sine poi from poidb are just a temporary affair and having them inside a track is convenient.

New Version as of today: rename exising track still impossible.

Weird, for me it's ok now...

Ah wait. I clicked the top left back arrow, because it says "Speichern", i. e. "save" . But it does not,you just escape the window. IMO it is misleading.
It works when I use the save button at the bottom.

New Version as of today: rename exising track still impossible.

Is the track renaming bug fixed? I cannot rename an existing track, no matter if displayed or not. After all, it keeps its old name.

My Locus crashes now when I add POIs from the poidb, no matter which category they are from. It happens when I tap inside a category, eg. "Museum". Germany North map+db from the store.

Anyone else?

Good day Tapio,
Route planner expect that you have some unfinished work so it simply allows to quickly continue from where you left. Imagine opposite situation, when you do some planning, you will want to continue, but meanwhile you change you center location, zoom etc. on main map screen and after return to Route planner, you will hardly search for a place, when you end with planning before ...

Hi,
Yes, but I think it should store the current map center when entering the planner. And go there, if I choose 'delete route'. Or in that 'restored old session' message allow to instantly undo/delete the restored session.

I found some inconvenience with the route planner as it automatically saves unfinished routes.

- I am somewhere else (lets say POS1) and want to start from there.
- I enter route planner, it loads the last, unfinished route and centers the map there
- I don't need it and abort that one

The inconvenience is, now I have lost the POS1 and need to find it.

And as for the route planner, it has been mentioned: possibility to change map and theme is desparately needed.

Store is a troublemaker for me. Its the unpacking. Super slow, when at 100% nothing happens, sometimes I do not know, sometimes I reboot phone because Locus is extremely blocked. E. g. now it left a message "Initializing" in the notification, which I cannot stop.
I wanted to install themes via store, which is virtually impossible. It is the unpacking IO.
I have to do it manully with total commander. Unpacking works there. Store: minutes/hours... Tc: 15 seconds.
