Hi Menion.

In beta 4.19.0.8 the online address and location search does not work on my device.

Same here. Quite annoying to be honest.

Theme selection doesn't work at all in latest version for me. Where do we need to put them? Updated Play version over AfA one accidentally.

Fixed it by choosing folder in app again. Moving files to android/media wasn't enough.

Never mind, using desktop version of Google Drive website worked.

Unfortunately I can't download the latest beta from Google Drive. It always gives me
a 404 error.

Hi guys,

handling Google Maps share button should be fixed. Please check the next version of Locus Map and if you still encounter some problems, please let us know.

Ok, thanks @Menion and @john_percy for clarification. Now I got it  and I'll wait for the public solution.

Offline LoPoints still don't respect theme definitions and always overlay icon definitions in v4 themes with Locus default icons. That's true for all themes like Voluntary and other custom themes. With v3 maps the behaviour is different in the way that offline  LoPoints are depicted as defined by the theme and not as extra overlay.

I believe there is a possibility that @Menion will open up the icon theme in the future, which would allow third party themes to style the poi icons as previously.

That would be great. As a temporary fix I commented out most icons in my own theme...

I'm a little lost here. The first screenshot is a new LoMap with offline LoPoints? Where these icons are from? . Looks like your own personal points.

First Screenshot is a v3 Lomap with LoPoints (offline activated). 2nd screenshot is a v4 LoMap also with LoPoints (offline) activated. No personal points involved. In v4 my themed points (png) get overlaid by svg LoPoints, where it should look like in the first screenshot with v3. Is this more clear now?

Navigation shows a failure: the distance to next turn freezes at its initial value, while the voice announcements adapt to the nearing turn.
You can re-calculate, and the story just repeats.
Running latest Beta

I can confirm this bug in latest beta.

Hello, if I activate offline points v4 maps show standard icons above the theme defined ones. V3 maps show the icons as intended (see attached screen shots). I remember v3 had similar problems, but it got fixed. Would be nice to have the old behavior back. Thanks.

I think the new search function is a big improvement. I always grieved about the loss of GooglePlaces search, but with this solution it's quite comfortable to search for bakeries and stuff.

We published the python script that can help with the conversion theme from "Custom Locus V3" style to official Mapsforge V4
https://github.com/asamm/lomaps-mapsforge/tree/main/theme-v3-to-v4-converter
The conversion is not 1:1 but it can help to remove not supported attributes or convert DP units to "pixels" in V4

Needed to install some additional modules (e.g. lxml), but then conversion worked without a problem. There are several typos in the readme, but it wasn't to hard to figure them out  .

Did most of it by hand in the meantime  , but thanks for sharing.

I get lots of crashes in connection with point/track menu

very similar to me ;-(

PS. quick test - appears fixed in 4.16.0.3

Yes, seems to be fixed now. Great!

I get lots of crashes in connection with point/track menu. If I chose a point and try to start navigation/guiding then it crashes. If I choose the same point from the map, it works. I get also crashes if I push the center on point button in point screen. Pretty unusable for me in this state...
