As user service, when Austria.osm.map is currently loaded and I open the POI tool, it could already choose the Austria.osm.db POI.
Maybe same goes for offline geonames (but I can see it is more difficult there).

Naming convention is: <country>.osm.map and ...osm.db

Thx, semi related: Often after map renaming or map moving actions and start of Locus after such actions:
a) Locus shows nullpointer exception at start and
b) I see white maps - I think the last used one does not display - needs delete cache and works after restart. Cache delete is not fun because the restart takes long (the big overview map takes a long time).

OK. As for poi, I have:
Netherlands_ML.map (from oam)
Netherlands_ML.db (from lomaps)

Netherlands are not shown in country picker in poi screen.

Menion, currently your POI databases are only shown, if there is a v3 map file with the same name. Now we are in the transition to v4 maps and as you know, many of us use OAM maps. I buy your lomaps only for the poi db.
In order to display those poi dbs, I have to store v3 maps additionally. Which is unintuitive for people who do not kniw, but furthermore, creates a messy map overview. Pls at least accept same name v4 maps!

Yes, but the information should be in the UI. Keep in mind eg people are testing/simulating routing a lot with turned off GPS. 30 seconds delay until next recalc is a necessary info in this scenario.

Auto recalc every 30 seconds is an important information. I was also wondering if there is some delay. Please at least add the info close to the recalc settings... Or maybe you can even make it configurable... via config file at least?

Hi Menion, Problem with SD1 was my own problem with a "Sandisk Ultra 128 GB XC I" - it performed like crap. I bought a "SanDisk Extreme 256GB microSDXC" now, which performs in an awesome way, Lomaps download/extraction with a 1.5 Gb map was no problem. Best invest in my old Sony Z1 smartphone. Was a pleasant surprise that it works fine with this 256 GByte card.

@tapio
is there any information about why it should be so big problem? I use this system for many years and I believe many users as well and I'm not aware of any problem.

There's 2 bugs in the xml missing space character after s_power.png path in the xml, see Locus verify functionality on longtap theme.

Read it a few times but cannot prove yet.I keep my eyes open. Maybe it is device dependent.

Menion I can confirm the preview image loading in data manager works with v3 lomaps.

BTW. Lomaps download can be a disaster when maps reside on external sd. Because you let it download the zipfile there. And extraction from ext sd to ext sd is often too much for Android. Resulting in a totally bricked device, you even have problems to reboot. After minutes of problems, it will not work and I manually do the job: copy zip file to internal sd. Extract to internal sd. Copy to external sd.
IDK, I bought a quick SD but Android seems to have limitations here. Some other dev. (Moon+ reader) told me that once.
Maybe consider offering to define a different temp file location.

A minor one:
In the data manager, tracks oberview, long tap to the left, on a preview picture, does not create a preview. If one is there, it deletes it. v4 map + totm theme.

Menion, if Smooth Interface is off, "Fill map gaps" has no effect, is that intended? I think it worked once, so we had map gaps filled, minus the smooth transition effects. I'd prefer it this way.

I love to use this map for planning. It is good as it is now. I use it with no magnification on my Sony Z1 which has hd res. The v3 version had too thin lines for me, but now it's perfect.

I did a lot of v4 map switching and they all load quickly. No white boxes etc. I am happy about the vector map system again. There's just that text bug (cut text) on first load of area, as John already mentioned. Thx for your hard work!

Quick check of the map magnification of vector maps. Looks lime it works again as I expect it. As in older versions.
I am not having a degree in Locus so I must admit I did not understand our honorable padavan Menion, who taught us it was already good in the last version 😁 Well, books have been written about map magnification.
