Yes, it happens also with the latest version (3.18.6 Pro).
See the attached screenshot for coordinates. Thank you. 

Please see the attached image. The problem exists since the introduction of the new Locus theme, but only with the city style. All other variants work without problems (car, ski, hiking), although I'm not a big fan of the new look at all. Thank you for looking into it.

Or use similar traffic data from other source:

In 3.17.1 I get the following behavior, which was not present before (see screen shots). Map names don't work as before e. g. Germany North and Germany South are both displayed as Germany etc.
Thank you for looking into it.
 

Hi.
They changed their tiling scheme some time ago, so you can easily integrate it into Locus.
Just create a new xml file (e. g.  michelin.xml) in the \Locus\mapsOnline\custom\ folder with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!-- ViaMichelin maps -->

Hallo.

Im Locus Store gibt es die OS Opendata von J. Thorn.
Kommt zwar nicht ans Original ran, ist aber trotzdem ganz ansprechend.
Bei Bing gab es ja früher den OS layer, aber das scheint nicht mehr zu funktionieren.

Hello.
I tried the new db's. It seems to work even without using the new beta version.
Nice.

Hello!
I downloaded the new db version for Germany North (17.03.2016), but I still have trouble finding streets in Berlin. E.g. after choosing Berlin as city I try to look for Boxhagener Straße, Boxhagener Platz, Rhinstraße etc. but I don't get any results. Kurfürstendamm for instance is found.
Thank you in advance for looking into it.
Btw. this feature is a really nice one, keep up the good work!

Hi Menion.

Okay, I understand, but this "feature" is not working as intended. See the two screen shots (my current position is off screen!).
Could you implement a toggle for this function (maybe also for the distance, not necessarily in UI, config.cfg would be enough for me). Thank you for looking into it.

Hello.
Since the introduction of Auto Zoom feature a few versions ago I got this strange behavior and it is still present with version 3.13.0
I use Locus Pro on my Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (Android 4.4.4). If I use the guiding function with auto-zoom enabled I experience the following behavior. I'm starting at home and set my work address as guiding target (ca. 4 km away (direct line)). So far so good, after being exactly 2 km away from target (direct line) the zoom, which is ca. 17/18 at that moment goes out to 15 and my position is not centered anymore (it's somewhere near the lower right side of the screen (I use Locus in my car in landscape mode and with shifted map screen center). Guiding still works, but by getting closer to the target the map center gets shifted even more off screen. Disabling the autozoom, everything is back to normal and my map center is not off screen anymore.
Any ideas? Could anybody reproduce this behavior?
Thank you in advance for looking into this.

Hi.
Something must have been changed from version 0.1.5 onward, because with that version I could even use a graph generated for DACH! without any issues. Okay it was rather slow, but it worked. Now, starting from version 0.1.6 I miss the icons to start navigating (car, foot etc.). I'm using the latest version from play store (3.10.0) on my xperia z1c, using android 4.4.4 (firmware .108). Any ideas, what causes that?
Kind regards

Okay, after some testing and generating routing data for Eastern and Western Germany, as well as comparing the size of routing data for France, it seems that the new graphhopper addon since version 0.1.6 has problems with routing data above 1 GB. Unfortunately 0.1.5 doesn't work anymore in Locus Pro 3.10, but it worked without a flaw in the previous version together with routing data way above 1 GB (Germany, DACH). Could you please look into this? Thanks in advance.

By the way, I like the graphhopper navigation because it includes most street names, but brouter creates better and more logical routes imho.

Hi.
I tried the new test version 3.8.2.3 and initially it seemed to work now, but after some minutes driving the map zoomed out to zoom level 14 (I was driving below 50 km/h). It still followed the map and returned to the usual zoom level, but there was a strange effect now. The map center was not centered anymore, althouh it was following my position (see the screenshot), the effect was gone, when enabling side and top bars and returned when they got disabled (see the other screenshot).

Sorry. 3.8.2

Hi.
I tried everything, meaning I completely started over by deleting all settings of the app and old config files, but to no avail. The problem still persists. If I disable the autozoom feature it works as intended, but when it's enabled, focus gets lost during guiding, which is really annoying to say the least.
My phone is a Sony Z1C with the latest Android stock system (5.0.2), but I don't think that this is the problem, because I get the same behavior on my old Motorola Razr HD (4.4.4 and 5.0.2 aosp systems).
Please, could anybody verify if I'm the only unlucky person with that problem (try to use guiding when driving in a car and going over 60 km/h). Thanks in advance

Hi. I'm using Locus Pro 3.8.2, but this bug exists since a few versions.
Everytime you use the automatic zoom function with guiding enabled and the zoom level changes according to your speed, the position is not centered anymore, meaning it doesn't follow your actual position (centering gets disabled). Please note that this only occurs when there's a change between zoom levels (e.g. from 18 to 17 or 15 to 14). Zooming within one level does work.
I often use this function while driving in my car and it's very annoying to re-enable centering everytime time.
Could you please fix that behavior? Thank you in advance.
