When refreshing a larger number (some more than 1000 caches) via gc4l, I get the attached message ("Slower! You've reached the limit of maximum actions / calls per minute").



I don't know the limitations of the gc API, but if there are limits for total number of refreshes and/or refreshes/minute, IMHO Locus should respect them and warn me (or reduce speed of refreshing) before getting stopped by gc.com.

This is not a big issue of course - I can split my caches and refresh them in several steps (and probably I should do some housekeeping on my device and clean up some old data...  ;D )

Multicaches often have waypoints where you have to compute the coordinates while doing the cache. These waypoints are created with coordinates N 0° 00.000 E 000° 00.000; I usually adapt the coordinates of these waypoints according to my findings when doing a multi.

When refreshing a cache (e.g. using geocaching4locus), the coordinates of these associated waypoints are overwritten and set back to N 0° E0°, no matter wether the "keep data while importing" setting in the geocaching section is set or not; whereas other information in the cache (like personal notes) is not overwritten.

IMHO the refresh should no touch these waypoints if the "keep data while importing" setting is set.
Refreshing should only
* add new logs,
* update the cache description and the status,
* change trackables in the cache and
* update the number of favorite points...

Just downloaded and installed it - nice work, thank you!

When I use navigation in Locus, I can use the recently used list to define start and destination of navigation.

However, the list shows recently used POIs, recently used address searches and recently used coordinates. The coordinate entries might come from geocaching activities or route recalculations of former navigation activities.

I don't see a reason why coordinates should be listed in this recently used list, the list would be much clearer and easier to use without them. So I suggest to filter the list and display only 'named' targets and leave away all coordinate entries here.

Im Store musst ggf. Du erst "Credit" kaufen, um von dort Vektorkarten runterzuladen. Details dann hier: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/shop:items:vector_maps_data

Die "world" Karte hat nur die Ländergrenzen und ein paar Städte etc., da ist dein Weg auf Mallorca garantiert nicht drauf...

Zum Importieren: generell kannst Du dir den Track auf das Handy kopieren (z.B. per USB-Kabel etc.) und dann in Locus importieren (im Locus-Menu -> Daten, Import und dann die Datei wählen). Speziell bei GPSies geht es noch etwas einfacher:
* GPSies-Client auf dem Handy installieren
* dort den Track suchen und anklicken um die Streckendetails zu öffnen
* Dann "Öffnen mit..." und Locus auswählen; dann startet Locus und importiert den Track.

Hallo,

als ersten Start würde ich da mal die Vektorkarten empfehlen. Die kannst Du vorab herunterladen und hast dann alles Offline dabei. Die Vektorkarten (aus dem Locus-Store) basieren auf OSM-Daten (OSM=OpenStreetMap) und sind normalerweise recht vollständig.

Zu den Vektorkarten gibt es noch "Themes", die speziell für bestimmte Einsatzzwecke gedacht sind. Ein "Hiking"-Theme hebt z.B. die Wanderwege, Schutzhütten etc. besonders auf der Karte hervor.

Mehr Info z.B. hier: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manual:how_to:locus_map_overview

Was meinst Du mit weiteren GPS-Koordinaten? Es gibt diversie Plattformen, auf denen z.B. Wanderrouten etc. als GPS-Download zu finden sind; die kannst du prima in Locus importieren und "nachwandern". Ich nutze meist GPSies.com, es gibt aber noch dutzende andere. Falls Du "Sehenswürdigkeiten" als POI (Point Of Interest) suchst, dafür gibt es auch diverse Plattformen, z.B. "poiplaza.com".

Update: hatte die Frage nach GPS-Koordinaten wohl falsch verstanden - den Track des gr221 findest Du z.B. hier: http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?username=mad79

If I see things right, the found number is added when refreshing a cache using geocaching4locus.
I agree that the number of founds is not a very useful information here.
Maybe you can address this as request to Arcao? He e.g. could add a switch which turns off/on adding this info to the cache when refreshing or downloading a cache via gc4l.

Auf den Hinweis oben links, wo die nächste Aktion angekündigt wird. Mal sehen, ob ich hier einen Screenshot hochladen kann ...

Auf das Abbiegesymbol klicken, dann "Navigation beenden" - dann ist alles weg, incl. Route, Abbiegesymbole, Wegpunkte etc.

That just updates the position, I am looking for continuous updating.

You are talking about the selected button (see screenshot)? If this is selected, the map is moved continuosly to your current position - if you have a GPS fix.

Chrome is worse than IE for me, look at the """".
Firefox and Chrome look both o.k. for me - do you use a zoom factor different from 100% in Chrome?

Direkt im GPSies Mobil-Client die Streckendetails einer Strecke öffnen und "Öffne mit..." wählen, dann die Strecke mit Locus öffnen - klappt bei mir wunderbar.

Einen Browser braucht man dann gar nicht mehr.

this is a essential feature.
for me the most important.
without my google maps POIs within the mapping app
it is worthless for me.
would be nice if this feature gets implemented

What exactly are you looking for? To access your POIs from google maps, make sure that the google myMaps module is enabled (Modules => google myMaps).
Now you can start the "google myMaps Manger", select the google account to use (in case there are two ore more accounts on your device) and select your google map to display.
All POIs from that map are displayed inside Locus then.

See here for more details.

Hope that answers your question...  ;)

Very  small issue with visibility of waypoints:

If I refresh the gcvote-information of a geocache, it's waypoints are hidden afterwards - no matter wether they were visible before or not.
