"Checking time limitation..."

This is one of the startup messages, in Pro version just released.  Does that message apply to Beta only?

A purchaser of Pro might justifiably assume they have a right to use the app forever, and worry about this.

@Condor: G4L seems to get confused if you have both Pro and Beta installed.  Have you tried uninstalling Beta?
#198
The first time I installed Beta, I got default settings.

Now that I know of a simple way to copy Pro settings to Beta (backup/restore), I'm happy.  It's quick and easy - once you know about it.  Thanks.
#199
Thanks, but I meant, copying from Pro to Beta on the same device.  Maybe it'll work regardless.  I'll give it a try.

EDIT: that worked, thanks.  Had to restart the Beta twice, but then it worked.

It's not in my abilities to check all settings for each installation beta.
On that note, is there a simple way of copying all your customized settings for Pro over to Beta?  I couldn't find it by looking through the file structure.

I would use Beta more often if it acted just like my fine-tuned Pro.

GPS management seems good with beta 3.30.2.8.

I went for a walk and recorded a track, and the track corresponds very well with earlier tracks and the OSM map.  I noticed estimated accuracy as good as 3m; in a recent version a few days ago I never saw <10m, as others have mentioned.

And it now seems to turn off GPS reliably when Locus isn't using it and isn't focussed.  Earlier I had issues with that.

I'm using Android 6 and have GPS set to Device Only.

PS, in the Beta, I like the new placement of the cache logs, behind a More button.  Easier access, I like that.

But sometimes I have to scroll down to reach that button, because of the blasted (false) field note from my earlier Found It log.  I still think this is a bug, because it was never a field note (or "draft").  It's really "your previous log", but labelled as something else.

Now logically, wouldn't it make sense to move your existing log (fake field note) into something like a "Mine" button beside the "More" button?

Someone mentioned a glitch with the GPS not shutting off.  I noticed this too, with the current released (not beta) version.

I was caching yesterday, and after some frustration with GPS position not seeming to update as I walked, I switched GPS compatibility mode on and continued.  Maybe that's relevant.  (I can't remember if I switched that mode back, but had more update glitches.)  Later at home I noticed I still had guidance on, so I cancelled that and turned off the screen, went to bed.  The GPS should've turned off at that point.

Next morning, battery was abnormally low, and GPS was still active.  I did some experimenting with that mode setting, but found nothing conclusive.  It seems to be working okay now.

*** BETA version 3.30.2.3 ***
- geocaching users: please check display of listings & images. If all is correctly sized and click on images display device image viewer
All looks good; can't tell any difference from Pro.  The rare cache-log image still refuses to load (discussed some time ago), but I seem to remember it was resolved as an image-library problem.  Anyway, that only seems to happen rarely.

@Viajero Perdido
really please check mentioned settings > maps > points & tracks > popup content. If this option is by accident disabled (sorry), please enable it back
Ah, thanks for reminding me where those settings are kept.  I turned them back on, and they work fine - on both devices.

You know, I haven't visited that settings screen in a very long time.  This all sounds eerily familiar...
#206
I haven't changed my top panel in a long time (years?) on either device, and I think both had identical content, so maybe that's why they reverted to a default state.  The right-side panel, yes, I've changed that more recently.  6 months ago maybe.

Thanks for changing the blue notification bar to black again.

I still don't see Hint nor Load All Waypoints in the ">" menu from a cache popup in the .1 version, for caches in the database that do have hints / waypoints.  Are you saying you put those back?  Maybe we're thinking of different places in the interface.  (It would be nice to have them back.)

Thanks,
VP

I don't like the Star Wars start screen, I don't like Star Wars at all!
Even though I couldn't care less about Star Wars, the startup screen still makes me smile.  (But I already voted.)

I lost my panel layouts on both devices with the . 1 release (other settings are okay), so I just rebuilt them.  Don't make me do that too many times, okay?

Quote from: JoxM on March 17, 2018, 13:14:54Before there was an additional line with something like "show hint"
Also, where did "Load all waypoints" (or Hide all) go?  It's no longer in the pop-up menu after tapping a cache.  (...one that does have extra waypoints, and is in the database.)

Is it possible to get Hint and Load all Waypoints back?
#209
Hi Spellerberg.

I don't remember seeing a three-dot-menu anywhere in the app (old user manual?), but try this:

Tap the waypoint, then tap the box that pops up.  This shows the detail screen for the point.  Now tap the caret in the lower-right corner.

^
The first option is Edit.   :)

When changing coords, you can tap the little dot-in-circle icon; that'll give you a variety of ways to update the coords.

Enjoy.

First impression: the system notification bar is distractingly BLUE.  Ow, it hurts the eyes!  The map can be a thing of beauty, but this thing is trying to get my attention away from it.  Any chance of getting black back?

Actually, my first impression was the new startup scroll.  Love it; thanks for the laugh.

PS, I'm not seeing the force-close issue slarti76 mentioned, on either of my devices. I tested each device with both quick (<5s) and slow (>5s) restarts.  All okay here.
