- Funktionen -> Geocaching Live: Statt "Gefunden: XXX | Verbergen: XXX" fände ich besser "Gefunden: XXX | Versteckt: XXX"

Diese Änderung ist ja mittlerweile eingepflegt - danke dafür!

Leider steht jetzt auch im Detail-View eines POIs (Action-Bar -> Werkzeuge) "Versteckt" statt bisher "Verbergen" - zumindest meine ich, dass da vorher "Verbergen" stand, das passte auch besser...

Warte noch auf andere Meinungen denn "Finalkoordinaten" eckt auch ein wenig im Gehörgang
- was aber nicht heißt es passt nicht.

Im Gehörgang eines geocachers eckt das nicht an, es flutscht direkt durch bis ins Kleinhirn...  
Aber wenn jemand was Besseres weiß, gerne!

Dem Lob der deutschen Übersetzung schließe ich mich übrigens uneingeschränkt an.

Hallo zusammen,

ist dieser Thread noch die richtige Stelle für Anmerkungen bzgl. der deutschen Übersetzung? Auf getsatisfaction passt es irgendwie nicht...
Folgende Verbesserungsvorschläge fallen mir ein, das ein- oder andere kann ich noch nachliefern:

- Bei Verbindungsproblemen kommt als Toast-Meldung: "Probleme mit dem Internet-Anschluß". "Internet-Verbindung" passt hier m.E. besser.

- Einstellungen -> Geocaching -> "Zum letzten Wegpunkt wechseln". Sollte das nicht besser heissen "Zu Finalkoordinaten verschieben"? Und als ausführliche Beschreibung würde ich dann vorschlagen "Cache während des Imports zu Finalkoordinaten (letzter Wegpunkt) verschieben und als berechnet markieren".

- Funktionen -> Geocaching Live: Statt "Gefunden: XXX | Verbergen: XXX" fände ich besser "Gefunden: XXX | Versteckt: XXX"

The new "Import to Locus" functionality for URLs like http://coord.info/GC12345 has a small problem:
When I open a cache in Locus and click on the cache URL in the cache detail screen, Android offers me to open the URL using the browser or using "Import to Locus" using the addon.
"Import to Locus" leads to an error here ("Geocaching4Locus" wurde unerwartet beended - "Geocaching4Locus" was stopped unexpectedly).

Anyway, Geocaching4Locus is a cool addon, and importing caches from notification emails works properly!

Anyway for me helped to logout and login again.

Same to me, logging out+in once solved the problem.

Hi menion,

how does the new import feature for PQs work? I successfully linked locus to my gc account, but when I try to download a PQ, locus tells me that there are no pocket queries to download.

Thanks,
 Elmar / mambofive.

Is it possible in the meantime to download the vector maps via PC and install it than on the phone?

I downloaded my map from here: //http://download.mapsforge.org/maps/ and copied it manually to the phone. Works perfectly.

Hi menion,

some minor problems with some particular geocache listings:
* Caches starting with '<' are not displayed correctly in the list of POIs. Some of them are displayed with an empty name, some are displayed with an incomplete name. Example: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest. ... ramaradweg  => GC2J4NT is displayed without a name. Some other caches of the series are display without the "<xx". Seems like locus is reading a html tag here...
* GC332T8 (Wupperkäfers Heim) => locus crashes when displaying the details of the listing. I can send a crash log if required.

Best regards,
 Elmar / mambofive.

Since yesterday, I can't download any tiles from OSM "German Style" any more. Message is "Zugriff verweigert" ("Access denied").
The next tile server which is blocking locus?

Best regards,
 Elmar / mambofive.

Hi menion,

I learned that you do not want the app to do to much things automatically   , but what about switching to night mode automatically?
I tested the navigation feature on some longer car rides - cool feature, works perfectly! But I can't switch to night mode while driving, an automatic switch would be fine here.

There are lot's of sources in the web dealing with computing sunrise/sunset times, maybe this one could be used online:
http://www.earthtools.org/webservices.htm
They offer a web service which returns an xml with some useful inormation:
http://www.earthtools.org/sun/<latitude>/<longitude>/<day>/<month>/<timezone>/<dst>

Hi menion,

locus (pro) got my main geocaching app in the last months - very good work!

However, I've some ideas how the "workflow" could still get improved when going caching, let's see what you and others think about it:

* When approaching to a waypoint which has guide turned on, switch from map view to compass view when the distance is below a given value (e.g. 50m)
* When logging a field note for a geocache, turn off the guide to it or any of it's waypoints
* When adding a waypoint to a (multi) geocache, turn off the guide to any other waypoint and (optionally) turn on the guide for the new waypoint.

Regards,
 Elmar / mambofive.

For me this seems fine, but is anyone using (or see any possibility to use) shift map center without rotation?

I agree, this would be useful. I can't see a reason to use shift map center without map rotation.

If realized, I would use this feature in exactly the same usecase as stebu  

Best regards,
 mambofive.

The geocache description in Locus contains a link to the full cache listing on www.geocaching.com.
In addition to this link I'd like to see (optionally) a link to the cache listing on wap.geocaching.com. I know, it looks awful and old fashioned there, but I think it's more useful to quickly check the online status of a cache or a TB on the mobile than browsing through the full listing on www.geocaching.com.

Keep on the good work - Locus currently is the app I use most often on my mobile...

Hi menion,

since an update of the app some weeks ago (can't say exactly when), additional waypoints for a geocache disappear from time to time from the map.

Steps to recreate:
- open a geocache containing some additional waypoints
- make the waypoints visible in the map by checking the box next to the waypoints
- exit locus
- open locus again
=> the waypoint disappeared from the map, although it's still in the description of the cache and is still checked there.

The waypoint can still be found e.g. using the compass, but I found no way to display it again.

Best regards,
 mambofive.

tested with V1.8.6 - works perfectly!

Thank you!
