My photos got uploaded now.
#2
Same here, photos are still waiting in the queue to beeing uploaded.
Some single photos even seem to disappear from the queue, maybe due to a failed attempt to upload them?
#3
I've uploaded a bunch of photos for LoPoints in the last days.
Since yesterday, the last photos stay on my device in the state "for upload" and are never uploaded, independent of a WiFi connection.

For the OSM amenity "restaurant", LoPoints uses a "V" which is a symbol for vegan restaurants, whenever the flag "diet:vegan" or "diet:vegetarian" is set to "yes" for the OSM entry.

Is this done by intention? Im my opinion, the "V" icon should only be used when the restaurant offers only vegan/vegetarian food ('diet:vegan=only' or 'diet:vegetarian=only'). The "diet:vegetarian=yes" applies to almost every restaurant, so the usage of the "V" as icon for the LoPoint is misleading imho.

I even saw a McDonald's displayed with a "V", which is far away from being a vegan restaurant...  :D

the photo picker you're talking about is part of the system, and we are not able to affect its content from Locus. However, I'm not sure why your list of albums is empty. Which albums would you expect to see there? Google Photos albums?
Exactly, I selected "Google Photos" as cloud media app and have two buttons: "Photos" and "Albums".
"Photos" displays the photos ordered by date, "Albums" just displays nothing. I expected a list of my albums in the google photo app.

When adding older photos to LoPoints, you have to scroll to all photos to find them. So I tried to create a album for LoPoint photos in Google Photos in order to add the photos from there.

When I add a photo to a LoPoint, I can select "Photos" and "Albums".
"Photos" displays a list of my photos, ordered by date (as expected).
"Albums" displays nothing, instead of a list of my albums.

How can I add a photo from an album (other than search it in the full list of photos)?

Locus 4.29.0, Android 15. Permission to access photos is granted for Locus Maps.

I'm looking for a (internal/external) LoMaps-theme which shows more bicycle-related information, like:

  • vending machines for bicycle tubes (OSM: amenity=vending_machine, vending=bicycle_tube) or
  • charging stations for ebikes (OSM: amenity=charging_station, bicycle=yes)
Currently, I use an overpass query and import this as POIs to Locus Maps, but it would be nice to have this information directly shown in the map (e.g. using the hike&bike theme). Or are these nodes excluded from LoMaps to save space?

I used Locus to find a Chirp geocache (using the ANT+-manager and an ANT-adapter connected via USB-OTG).

Everything worked perfect  8)

However, if I try to connect to the Geocaching sensor (or any other sensor) without an ANT-adapter present in the system, I get just a toast message like "process interrupted". This is not very helpful, especially for less-technical-skilled users. I'd expect something like "There is no ANT-adapter available." or "Could not connect to ANT-adapter"...

Is this happen also on a fresh new folder with few fresh new points?

It happens with some older folders with a history of lots of updates/inserts/deletions and as well with a folder directly after the import of some (~160) points from a gpx file.

The last item in the list is also affected.

It seems to be connected to the scrollbar - if the folder contains only a few items and no scrollbar is shown, I can't reproduce it. (However, in gynta's clip a scrollbar is shown, but he doesn't see the problem).

To describe the problem more generally: if a scrollbar is shown, I can't select/deselect the first and last item of a list. Sometimes I can, but at least after selecting/deselecting it 2-3 times, I can't anymore.

See clip. Where is the difference on your side?
Thanks for your effort. This is exactly what I do, I can't see a difference...  :(

There is a small bug in selecting multiple items in a sorted list of POIs, when selecting multiple points, the topmost point is deselected.

To reproduce:

  • take any list of POIs, sorted by name (other sort options probably show the same issue)
  • deselect all items
  • now select some of the first items, including the top most POI
  • try to run any action on the selected items (e.g. "change icon") - the top most item will be deselected and the chosen action is applied to the remaining points only.

This happens to me reproducable in the last released version as well as in the latest beta (3.8.2.3).

Small UI problem when entering coordinates, e.g. here:
Search -> Move Map -> Coordinates -> enter coordinates in WGS format and change longitude from 'E' to 'W'
Result: empty label (instead of an expected 'W')

1.) Wie starte ich jetzt die Navigation? D.h. Locus free soll mir jetzt sagen ob ich nach links,r echts oder geradeaus fahren oll

Wenn du das Ziel über die Adress-Suche gefunden hast, hast du am Ziel einen kleinen "Briefumschlag" auf der Karte. Diesen tippst Du an, dann öffnet sich ein "Pop Up Label" mit der Angabe der Entfernung (Luftlinie) von deinem Standort.  Rechts von diesem Label ist ein Pfeil, wenn du darauf tippst/klickst, bekommst du ein weiteres Menü mit Aktionen zu diesem Punkt. Der oberste Punkt, "Navigieren", startet die Navigation.

Also kurz: Punkt (POI) anklicken/antippen => Auf den Pfeil (">") rechts klicken/tippen => Navigation wählen.

Das funktioniert nicht nur für Punkte aus der Adress-Suche, sondern für jeden Punkt (POI, Point of Interest), den du in Locus gespeichert hast.

At least for the 'classic map'  theme this also helps.

@TimoG: which function (exactly) are you using? I'm trying search by name/fulltext in search screen, search for Google Places, search in new DB POI and all works fine.
Same here.
Searching for a POI gives the list of search results - > ok
Selecting one of the items of the result formerly opened the details for this POI, now it just selects/deselects it.
