Hi guys, the new version brings a lot of interesting changes and even more on the background. I have to thanks a lot for tests most of you made during last weeks. It really helped a lot!!

Version 4.20.0 was uploaded to the Google Play, but was rejected because of some missing info in subscription screen. It will take some time to fix it, so I've at least uploaded APK to the public Google Drive directory. If anyone wants to test and use this version, feel free to do it.

Have a nice weekend!

I noticed that in your theme "man_made: watermill" shows the icons when tagged accompanied by "building:yes" but you don't see the icons when edited as a "man_made:watermill" node.

Would it be posible to show the SAC Scale colors for tracks like the Elevate theme does it?

I notice your theme is not working properly at a high zoom level

v1.3.4

• SAC Scale colors, german color style (T1: Blue, T2: Red/Blue, T3: Red, T4: Red/Black, T5+T6: Black)
• Fixed watermill and windmill. Size increase.
• Fixed archaeological sites area overlay
• Indicating "rough_paved" roads (unhewn_cobblestone,cobblestone,stone,grass_paver,cobblestone:flattened,sett)

Guys, I'll look at it. Meanwhile...

v1.3.3

Parking was too much. I made some tuning, pushed it to later zoom levels and added an option which lets you display them asap. (OAM includes them from ZL15 or ZL16, depending on map).

"Aspect based slope shading"
a) Are we talking about <screenshot>
b) What has changed?

IMO the routing profiles screens are big space wasters. Not elegant. Eg, the biiig "Navigation command" warning. Maybe only show once? Or much smaller? You could offer multiple routing profiles already on the first page, for direct selection.

[Beta 4.19.0.12]

Beta 4.19.0.12

With two new features
And many fixes regards routing profiles and app start.

Anything related to "How the app computes routes - routing profiles", to @Radim V here.

@Tapio
thanks, I've made some improvements to make it more robust, so next version.

@Andrew Heard
Hmm interesting ... I have identical problem in Vivaldi 

[@slarti76]

@slarti76
agree, it may be useful. Unfortunately, I do not have "first trackpoint time" easily available for sorting in the database. There will be a major database update during next year, so I'll try to keep this in my mind 

@Andrew Heard
inconsistency with categories is only partial. For me is more important consistency with the "Link with presets" system + as I mentioned before > the possibility of having a working fallback to the working internal profile in case, the external profile does not work.

Track recording problem > Unfortunately this does not happened to me yet. Anyway, I will try to add a small delay till the final screen is visible, if it helps.

update of profile icon > thanks, got it

@Andrew Heard
deletion of internal profiles is indeed not possible and won't be in the future. I need to keep base profiles available because they serve as a fallback (based on categories) in case of any problem with custom profiles.

What is anyway doable and what I've expected you (all here) will want, is an option to hide them from the selection. I'll look at it ...

Categories ... this is used not just as visual separation of profiles, but also internally to know, which profiles are "similar" and may be selected in case, any custom profile has a problem. What category are you missing?

UI problem on screens ... hmm, will check it, thanks.

@freischneider
"Other" category ... right, it is visible currently only for manual drawing, because this does not belong to any other category. Making it as selectable option should help right? Hmm ...

@Tapio
the stuck on the loading screen was with the latest X.10 version? Hope not 

@slarti76
not exactly overlooked. I wanted to answer later and forget. Thanks for the reminder!
As I see in the code, this was modified at 31. 10. 2022 and it works as it should: the second part of the route should have time of this first trackpoint. Anyway, there is the condition when this is applied: "Created time" of the original route is identical to the first trackpoint. Is this your case? Otherwise app considers the original route time more important than trackpoint times and preserves it.

Also deleting unneeded profiles would be helpful.

Perhaps deleting LoProfiles is a problem, as otherwise they can no longer be restored? Then another option would be to hide the profiles.
However, it would be possible to restore them if LoProfiles and own profiles are offered when selecting the profiles. At the moment only own profiles are offered there.

I find the categories practical. I have 2 main activities. Cycling and hiking. So I can have different cycling profiles and they are all in one category.
But I don't need the other categories. Maybe it makes sense to delete or add some?
Also deleting unneeded profiles would be helpful. There are people who have their own profiles and lose clarity because the LoProfiles are also displayed, but they don't need them. I use the LoProfiles myself.
Edit: Something else I noticed. The category "Other" does not appear at all when creating a new one.

@freischneider
Map content panel > it is probably the same issue as reported by Andrew here right?
May someone of you, enable (long-click on the main menu) logging to the file + "Initialize" logs, close the app, re-start and open the side panel again? In the log (placed in the app "logs" dir) should be useful info, I hope. EDIT: I was able to simulate it on older SGS2. Big-fix will be today, thanks.

@balloni55
"enabled: false" is the problem. You have to enable it so Locus Map has full filesystem access. One option is to open the menu > Settings > Backup & Filesystem > File system manager > and here should be a blue box at the top with the "Grant permission" button.

@T-mo
- access to routing settings > and is it useful at all? I expect, that you want to modify profiles mainly in the route planner. There is no big reason to do this outside of this screen.

- extra parameters for router customization: here is a topic, where @Radim V will gladly discuss anything 

- missing icon: thanks. Partially fixed, anyway solution is not ideal now. If you change a router, the custom icon will be lost. Will have to improve it later.

- recently used: I've improved default selection a little, thanks

@Andrew Heard
1. + 2. above

3. hmm this is connected to "App is not yet fully initialized" error. We have to solve this and ...

[New Beta version 4.19.0.7]

Hi guys,

I have a feeling, that I do not spend enough time here on the forum. Sorry if you feel the same. The tasks I did last weeks took too much time to me and colleagues 

Anyway, here we go!

It is partially funny, that the last posts are focused on the customization of profiles. Well ...


New Beta version 4.19.0.7

Major changes

- internal offline LoRouter and online LoRouter are fully united. So they use the identical system. All customizations, systems for warnings, profiles, etc., all are identical!

- with this, I've made completely!! new system of how routing profiles are selected and also customized. Because the old system was a little "hacky", the new was rebuilt from scratch. This also means (and I've tried to keep old data), that you will have to setup custom profiles again, sorry.

- The second major (mainly on the background) change, a few weeks of work and testing, is a united and simplified system of how the app starts and destroys. Together with it, we have recreated the start screen and made it a little "nicer". The main reason was that it was quite a mess inside of the app over all these years and I had to have a single place of truth where all happens.

Both main changes are very complex and I also expect that some problems may arise. That's why I kept old Beta version on the Google Drive, so it may be easy to revert to the older version in case of serious problems.

So shortly: kudos to the brave and test at your own risk  !

Little weird observation in my recent holidays:
I split a track A into A1 and A2. Then both tracks had the same creation date/time (I think we discussed this a while ago, before that both parts got the current DT as new creation dates). Now when I sort the folder by "Created", it shows

• A1
• A2

- correct!

But when I reverse sorting, it still shows

• A1
• A2

- not really correct, as the second part of the original track is surely after the first part and thus should be shown before in the reversed list.
I assume, as both tracks have exactly the same created date/time, Locus then reverts to alphabetic sorting as "tie-breaker", which keeps A1 before A2.

Proposal:
As we agree that it's not helpful to set the Created DT of split tracks to the current DT, why not set the DT of the second part to its first trackpoint?

Hello,
I added the external profile "River" from Brouter Offline and see it in the LoRouter Offline settings.
But unfortunately, in "active profiles" you cannot add your own profile, for example with a "boat" icon or something like that. Therefore, we had to take a "motorcycle" and give it a "river" profile.

Maybe there is a way to set the correct icon for your external navigator profile?

You cannot view this attachment. 

Unfortunately, this is not yet possible. But there is already a proposal and you can vote for it.

Unfortunately, I'm still not satisfied with "Auto-pause" reliability so it ended in this weird state ...

I've set both options to on, record every home absence every day... and have never seen recording in a paused state. RN I am in a building, having a break since 30m, stationary... but the rec button is red, not paused.
