Thanks Wolfgang, sunset fixed

Zdravím, BRouter nabízí i navigaci s průjezdními body (a "nogo" body,návod je zdehttp://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:tracks:planning:brouter

Hi Kregiel, there could be more reasons (you provided too little information) - either you used guidance along a route and "changed your track", i.e. left the route - the screen waking works on the route only. Or - you used navigation and when "changed your track", i.e. left the navigation route - Locus didn't recalculate the route because you weren't online or you have automatic recalculation switched off (or you use Locus Map Free that doesn't provide this feature).

Nemusíte mazat keše a znovu je stahovat. Jen prostě při jejich přesunu nebo skrytí se skryjí také waypointy.

Dobrý den,

tak bohužel přesun bodu v Locusu znamená řetězec "skrýt > přesun > zobrazit", který nezahrnuje znovunačtení waypointů. Doposud nikdo z uživatelů takto detailní práci s přesouváním keší nevyžadoval. Doporučujeme tedy nejdříve roztřídění keší do složek a pak práci s nimi.

Skrývání a zobrazování keší na mapě se tedy rovněž týká keší jako celků včetně jejich waypointů, a proto skrytí/zobrazení celé složky skryje/zobrazí také všechny waypointy (pokud to takhle máte v nastavení > geocaching > automatické načítání waypointů)

Nastavení zobrazování waypointů podle měřítka lze změnit v souboru config.cfg, který najdete v kořenovém adresáři Locusu - "map_items_gc_waypoints_hide_till_zoom"

Hi Gynta, thanks you've noticed... of course it wasn't correct. Fixed.

Hi Andrew, actually there are quite a lot of crosslinks in the articles but you're right, it needed some major ones. I've added them. I've also updated the navigation settings section. Thanks for comments!

And is it possible the "breadcrumb" can be turned into actual links like below so the user can navigate back up the document hierarchy?

I've already discussed it with Menion. We have to look into some dokuwiki plugins if there is some to tackle this.

...The manual has names (Locus Maps POIs and Independent POIs) which aren't used in the app, which doesn't help matters much.
I've rewritten the article a bit so that it corresponds to the current usage in the app. However as I've said, it's not the final solution.

Gentlemen, I wrote the needed article yesterday, please feel free to comment on it: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:tracks:planning:brouter. Links to it are in Route planning, Navigation settings and of course Customization sections.

@Andrew Heard... yep, I checked actually two videos and wrote a brief "how to" with one of Gynta's videos attached... http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:tracks:planning:brouter

So some of the feedback on the beta is that the naming is confusing. The manual has names (Locus Maps POIs and Independent POIs) which aren't used in the app, which doesn't help matters much.
We've been discussing this for some time but haven't come to a satisfactory solution yet. The entry article about points in the manual clarifies to newcomers that there are "two kinds" of POI handled. Original manual didn't regard this at all. So things have got moving :)

No problem. Here is some info that may help with reporting issues: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:faq:question#i_ve_got_a_problem_whom_to_ask_for_advice
@Michal - is it possible to show a "breadcrumb" for each manual page? I keep seeing pages, eg Menions "got a problem" page that isn't in the left side panel Main Menu "table of contents" - I had no idea it existed. I then tried Main Menu > About Locus Map > Error Reporting - but this is not found/ doesn't yet exist. So how would a user know about "got a problem"? The Main Menu could have more expandable levels, and each page could have "breadcrumb" so the user then learns for next time where in the manual organisation that page lives. Just a suggestion to improve the manual & reduce support load for you guys maybe.
A sort of "breadcrumbs" can be seen in upper right corner of each page, e.g. "manual:faq:question". However, we'll see to some other solution for better orientation.

There are currently two types of POI, which does cause confusion:
1. The points defined globally in Data > Points. "Data points", maybe? These can be edited.
2. The points of interest from the OSM database downloaded with vector maps from the Locus store. They are accessed by More > Points of Interest (beta) and are also displayed as overlays on the map. These can be searched but not edited.
They should be distinguished in any list of definitions.
@slarti76 too... The duality of general POI and Locus POI is referred to here http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:points:about. However, "Locus POI" problematics hasn't been finally solved yet even internally. The feature handling Locus map POI (Menu > More > Point of interest) is still named "Beta" as you can see. So you can expect a bit of evolution here.

Today i needed some manual links to help but it was difficult now to find quickly and it was a little bit frustrating - compared to the old system....

Dear gynta,
I understand your being upset with the new manual. You were working with the old one for many years and knew every bit of it here and there... Menion asked me to overwrite it so that it is clear and understandable. The old manual was written gradually, little by little as it was needed to clarify Locus's growing features and options, therefore many Locus aspects were dealt in many places, scattered across many sections. Now everything has its place and your comment here is the first completely negative I've come across. If it were as you say, I would be a dead man, we have hundreds thousands of users... Moreover, if Menion had disagreed with the structure I had proposed, he'd have stopped the project in the beginning. And I guess  he knows Locus users the best of all.

Anyway, thank you for your observations and comments.

@Michal - I stumbled across this method of route planning - http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=4605.msg37076#msg37076 - by gynta today. I was unaware of this feature and there is no mention I can find in the manual, eg in http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:tracks:planning. I wish I'd known about it a long time ago, while still not perfect, for most situations it is better than using the track editor.

In summary

  • add BRouter as application to main screen
  • to create a "routed" track add a point named "from"
  • add a point named "to"
  • optionally add via points named "via"<n>
  • optionally add nogo areas as points named "nogo"<n>
  • tap BRouter icon to calculate a GPX file saved in mapitems folder
  • import this GPX to display the track
  • adding these points can optionally be simplified by creating quickpoints - see the videos
Nice :) To be honest I haven't had a clue about this method as well until now. No trace of it in the old knowledge base, no Locus coleagues have ever mentioned it... Thanks God for Gynta!

I'll definitely add this method to the User guide. Thanks!
