Hi, can confirm: outdoor_activity-Austria  is not working at present.
Alternative: OSM Wanderreit (online download)    or  Bergfex (similar to Kompass-maps) (download via MOBAC)

Good morning Menion, sorry for bad news early in the morning: import of description still does not work, or I do not know HOW to do.
Can you pls explain briefly what format should I use, what I have to take care of, maybe provide a testfile, so I can check what the differences are to my file.
What GPX  Editor do you recommend ?
Thanks a lot in advance.
krg Rob

I did it (just misspelled in blog)  - but doesn´t work.
I shortened the text, deleted the &' - no change. Description is not shown in track :-(
Is textformat ISO-8859-1  mandatory or is UTF-8 valid also ?

Here another expample (just deleted somethe trkpoints):

Hi,
when I import a track with description (e.g. from http://www.outdooractive.com) in GPX format, the tracklines, points,.. are correctly imported, but not the description.
The track-example you can find here: http://www.outdooractive.com/de/downloa ... oints=true

 I checked the format and entered the  "![DATA ["   after <descr>  as well as  ]]  befor end of description <descr>  but it doesn´t help.

Are there more conversions necessary or is the text simply too long or ... ?

thx
kind regards
Rob

thx - and good luck !
btw: also THANKs to realize the guiding option for "sound when moving FROM track"  - did not have opportunity to test - but believe the others, that it works.
GREAT work!
Best GPS Navi ever - forces me to do a walk as often as I can (to test all the goodies of your app)  -  good for personal health also  ;-)
Best regards
Rob

Hi,
a (hopefully) small issue: I use the desription of a track as kind of "tourbook". But when the description field shows 10 lines it scrolls up and I cannot scroll down anymore to see the first lines - just move the whole trackpage.
Is there a "trick" how to do ?

thx

regards
Rob

Hi Kai,
fully agree with your suggestion - see also my blog under "Troubles & Questions: search, route, guide questions ..
There are also some good ideas from Menion mentioned.... have a look...

regards Rob

with the new version the search feature is much more understandable and easier to access - GREAT!
Also the new Compass design is more clearly arranged.
Thanks Menion and further much success..
krg  Rob

yeah, would be great. But with ability to switch either-or or both, right?   e.g. on-track: single beep long,    wrong-way: fast beeps,    or right-way: deep sound, wrong-one: high
Anyway.. looking forward...
krg Rob

thanks Menion, I did not want to push YOU :-)
These were questions to all, so I hoped getting answeres from anybody from Forum....
1) great! works perfect-
2) pitty, but ok.
3) Pls think about this guiding stuff, if MY idea would also be selectable. It would save power and nerves :-)
Nevertheless looking forward to new version, but even the actual one is the best in market!

Thanks and further good luck
krg Rob

Hi,
can nobody help me ?
Are the questions not clear enough or is there any manual where I could have found the answers? I searched a lot, but could not find anything regarding these issues... (except last point Guiding beep blog)
Please....

thanks

kind regards
Rob

Hi all,
First of all:  I LOVE Locus! It´s an amazing tool. I use it for walking and hiking with Galaxy Tab and the "Bergfex" Map of Austria (the most detailed hiking map I know -and offline ! GREAT!).
I want to learn more "secrets" - so I have some quesitons:

1)  Searching: how can search for a city/village/Mountain in a map (not a POI -this I know) ?
2)  routing: I love this feature to plan a tour. I know how to create, it works fine. But how can I change a route AFTER finishing ?
3) Guide on Tour:  I do not understand how to use this feature. It sound´s when coming close the next point, that´s it ?  I assumed that it sounds if the direction I go is wrong - so it´s more an "alarm", but doesn´t "nerve" me all the time with "beeps" :-)

Hope you can help...
Thanks

regards
Rob
