Hi John,
thanks for the notice. Will be fixed in the next version.

Will be discussed further on Locus helpdesk: https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/21411

Hmm not sure from where this info comes ... @Michal? Any idea?

The list of supported HR devices contains items tested by Locus users, not by us. The list is without any warranty, only based on what users announce to us.

Další možností jsou mapy od SHOCartu. Jsou dostupné offline, lze je stáhnout z Locus Store, bohužel jsou placené.  Jsou sice obecně vhodnější pro cyklistiku (obsahují trojstupňovou klasifikaci povrchů a doporučené, fyzicky projeté cyklotrasy), ale dají se v pohodě použít i na pěší turistiku. Na mnohých místech jsou podrobnější než OSM, co se týče nabídky lesních cest. Na druhou stranu OSM jsou o něco přesnější - přeci jen jsou udržované aktivní komunitou, sbírající data přímo v terénu. Což sice SHOCart dělá taky, ale určitě ne tak extenzivně.

Co se týče Mapy.cz v Locusu, lze najít na internetu hacky, jak je tam dostat, ovšem pouze v online podobě (a pouze mapovou kresbu, nikoli POI data). A o to vám asi nešlo.

regards issue with hiding of panels, please check app settings > Panels & buttons, there is option "Panels and screen orientation".

Aha. Tnks for info.
Sorry, my misunderstanding of the description text?
I wrongly expected this was only to prevent automatic hiding by timeout.
Descriptions in the menu text:
- Hide (top/bottom/right) panel when inactive. Double tap on the map to display it.
- Panels and screen orientation. Both or Landscape or Portrait. 
Panel hiding by timeout =  When inactive. No ? (Double tap = active)

Hi Willy,
there is not "panels hiding by timeout" but just "panels hiding timeout". So just the setting of the time for which the panels are visible before disappearing. Nevertheless, I slightly have rewritten the text before so that it is a bit more understandable.

Zkuste v telefonu jako správce souborů ES Explorer. Pokud ani ten externí kartu nebude detekovat (a pozor, od Androidu 5 se už SD karta nenazývá jako "sdcard", ale kódovým označením např XXXX-YYYY), kartu vyjměte a pomocí adaptéru zkuste načíst v PC. Pokud ji nenačte ani PC, je nejspíše poškozená. Někdy stačí ji naformátovat, někdy bohužel nezbývá, než ji vyměnit.

Store challenges are announcements about interesting content available in Locus Store

So far it's not in manual yet... Thanks for the notice, I'll add it to my schedule.

Hi, what format are the Qtopo maps in? Locus can handle SQliteDB, MBTiles, GEMF, TAR or IMG (limited)

Hi,

thanks for reporting. We removed the settings option as generally unused but apparently, we didn't reset the settings. Will be fixed in the next version.

3.31.0 RC

My opinion on the setting dialogues:
1. An unnecessary complication of the structure of the settings. Why these additional levels, are there still a lot of settings to it?

2. The German translation has become worse, has Google translated?

Hi Frank,

Locus settings are very complex, we all know that, and for many (especially new) users, they were too complicated. In order to make them more intuitive we restructured them. Not on a base of our whims - its new structure comes out of an extensive testing, experimenting and thorough user survey. And as @menion has written, we struggled to rework it on behalf of logic and best possible UX for as many people as possible.

As for the German translations - Locus is translated by users voluteering in Crowdin translation project. If you are sure you could contribute and improve Greman translation, you can participate in it as well.

Hi John,

Locus probably interprets the imported shaping points as waypoints. Open the imported basecamp route in Locus route planner. Are the shaping points displayed as blue squares? If yes, tap them and select "change to shaping point" from the popup menu.

So Strava online maps will never again work? I still can view their maps via web interface as anonymous user.

I didn't say that . We're working on it. And Locus isn't a web browser so there are different terms.

Currently I'm not able to view any heatmaps as overlay (neither as solo map).
Tiles report connection error, but maps available via Strava web. Can the maps source be updated? Thanks

Strava issued new terms of use requiring Strava account validation. We've been trying to solve this with Strava devs assistance.

Hi all,

my apologies for not responding for such a long time.

@balloni55 - Map Items updated, geocache types - whole geocaching page is going to be updated co GC types are on my  to-do list

@freischneider - blending mode in map overlays - I've been waiting for exact definitions of the modes from Menion for years. Now he's provided some - it has a pretty complicated background originated from Porter/Duff composing algebra. In order not to confuse Locus users we prefer staying back from this complex theory and recommend them to test each mode themselves and find what suits them the best. Nevertheless, I added a few examples and a link to an article explaining the theory for those who are interested.
