@Diddi
thanks for the tests! And "Presets" ... good old topic. We'll have to think about them more later. The current solution is usable, but has mainly these limits > a limited number of available items to cover all possible use-cases.

@Graf Geo
thanks for the tests as well, perfect.
Empty base map ... damn, why this does not happen to me  . I'm sorry, but I still have no clue why this happens, because if you see the map on the screen or in the top panel, than it should be available here.

@michaelbechtold
Huge "sync.db" > this happen because of the problem we discussed on the help desk. This file contains the history of all your sync tasks! My file after all years with sync has 350kb! Delete it, it may cause no problem. And you may watch it to see if sync finally behaves correctly for you.

@loudini
error in GC live map > got it, fixed, thanks.

@Tapio
seconds > no please  ... anyone really interested in these values? Eh, no 

[@Tapio]

@Tapio
thanks for the map & theme. I'm unfortunately still unable to simulate it. This happened some time ago, but I hoped, it is fixed, hmm.

Hagen trip > I'm getting a nice 5.5h when using LoRouter https://link.locusmap.app/r/sjie8b . For me, a priority now is to fine-tune LoRouter times & parameters. We may look at BRouter later...

@Graf Geo
ah, thanks and sorry you had to describe it "again". I've forgotten to instructions generator  . The "Navigation" button in the toolbar is a shortcut to start the navigation immediately, without the "Navigation/guidance chooser". And yes, there was an issue. Fixed, thanks!

@Diddi
thanks, got it. Check please Beta tomorrow (or Friday) or there will be for 90% new public version on Google Play next week.

[@Diddi]

Hi guys,

weekend, again? Damn
At least a bug-fix Beta version on the Drive.

@Diddi
update of single cache in new Beta! An update of a bunch of caches at once will have to wait a little. Remind me this once the new "Data manager" will be published (this year).

@slarti76
how do you share the location? There are more options and not all may work ...

@loudini
icons, thanks. I hope it is fixed now (because I can't simulate it).

What does "+short info about geocaches into lists" means?

please read menions answer to me an view first screenshot in this post
https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=7496.msg64729#msg64729

Hmm, this is useless file, so simply delete it without worry.
Maybe attach it here for me please, I'll check if I'll be able to simulate the same issue with your journal file. Thanks.

The test version 4.1.1.1 is only valid till tomorrow, 1st of june. Is there another version coming?

V4.1.0
# 279 solved, thanks

with new version map tiles are rendered slowly while zoom in/out or pan map
also if i repeat zoom in/out, are these tiles not cached?

EDIT
with map rotation turned on, the map loading is even slower

@Menion I know it's not your job, but where can I write to report that your sites are a mess?
it seems that everything is badly connected, there is a main page, one for live tracking, one for the help desk, one for the forum, one for documentation.
There are at least 3 different types of graphics, many pages once opened have no reference to the main site.
With the arrival of the new version 4 it would have been the right time to do some cleaning.

[finally official]

Yes, we are finally official 

I'll re-organize a few categories on the forum and the new topic for LM4 is here: https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=7273.0 .

Well, what to say ... is Thanks enough? Maybe not, but it is probably not important. I believe, you here are mostly satisfied with the changes we did last in almost two years. Weather at least in central Europe starting to be really nice so I wish you mainly: stay healthy (families as well) and enjoy at least a little hike & bike adventures. It is something that connects us right? 

Furthermore I get an error when trying to send field notes . 3rd attempt was successful.

for your info, this afternoon GS page was down ~2 hours

[@Rainman2de]

Oh finally!!!

Ask me please, when anything is not clear. I've added the first two "FAQs" to this first post. Michal will then summarize all core questions more precisely (with his definitely a lot better English ). For now, you'll have to live with my

@Rainman2de
I have only some info from @0709 about not-ideal GPX imports, but to be true, I do not know what is wrong. And you never communicated with me about this before (as I see, you have some German posts, but I do not know German and do not read these topics ...). So if there is something you want to fix and if you are able to give me file + step-by-step instructions to simulate this problem, feel free to create a new topic here or on help desk and I'll gladly look at it ...

[It's on Google PlayStore now.]

It's on Google PlayStore now. Currently I can enjoy ads (in Locus) 😁
Will there be any technical change when we have the transition from Play Store Beta Channel to stable channel? Technically, a different installation? I ask because I'm lazy, I just wish that it continues to work.
Didn't touch subscriptions yet, do they technically work?

[@T-mo]

Hi guys,
I started this topic with the hope, that this or in the worst, the next day will be published new version on Google Play.

But, well, Google is blocking a release (also new Locus Map Pro 3.51.1) because of validation of "Background location" access. We were twice-time rejected and now waits on the result of the third attempt ... so sorry.

@T-mo
Live-tracking is paid only for people, who want to create private groups. So for example, you with Gold subscription may create a private group and invite the rest of the family that does not have any subs > and it is ok!

@tapio
Yes, Silver is risky, but we are sure, many people won't need the web stuff, so it is a very good option for them.

And yes, package names remain the same, so everything existing will continue correctly (add-ons, tasker tasks, etc...)

@joeloc
If you can, right after you notice that the app crashed, create and send me a bug report. There may be some info about the reason (or may not).

@Andrew Heard
nice comparison . We focus on the area more related to hike & bike. Car navigations? It is the world on it's own  .

@didado
thanks for the tip. I'll note about it my colleague who created web .

@Pcmann
[CZ]sorry, not yet ... still waiting on the Google (start of this post)

I'm a pro user and I will go premium.

Anyway, I would suggest that on the comparison page link you start with summarising the different features that you do not get with classic etc but do get with Premium .

Now it is one giant list which I have to click and scroll to see what I'm getting extra premium. I did not find it convincing because I have to scroll through a sea of green that the other versions also offer yet Premium has a lot to offer. To summarise: summarise :-)
