Ich hatte eigentlich noch nie solche Probleme bei der Neuberechnung und auch keinen Abbruch der Navigation. Das hilft euch jetzt nicht weiter, aber könnte dafür sprechen, dass es nicht unbedingt an Locus liegt.

Ich plane zwar ganz überwiegend meine Touren mit der App, aber auch mit importierten gpx von Rother & Co. oder mit dem Webplaner erstellte Routen kann ich mich nicht an so große Schwierigkeiten erinnern.

Die Einstellungen für Endpunkt-, Strecken- und strikte Streckenpriorität bei der Neuberechnung sind euch sicher bekannt.

Dee große Vorteil von Locus ist ja manchmal auch ein Nachteil: es gibt so viele Einstellungsmöglichkeiten, dass man auch als langjähriger und erfahrener Nutzer nicht alle im Hinterkopf behält oder vollständig durchdringt. Stelle ich bei mir immer wieder mal fest. 🙂

Für mich ist es eine ROUTE der ich folge und kein TRACK .... Ich benutze ja auch den ROUTENPLANER und nicht einen TRACKPLANER ...

In meinem Verzeichnis:  Android\data\menion.android.locus\files\Locus\data\tts
Finde ich original nur  en_latest.tts !
Ich habe nun auch de.tts dorthin kopiert - muss erst prüfen ob diese Datei dann wirklich benutzt wird.

Ohne Abo, ohne Werbung. Wie soll sich der Software Hersteller ernähren?

Auf Dauer ohne Kosten für Dich. Arbeitest Du auch ohne Gehalt zu bekommen?

So Problem gelöst. Locus möchte IMMER, also auch wenn die App nicht läuft, Zugriff auf den Standort. Also Tracking vom feinsten. Wenn man das nicht erlaubt, gibt es o.g. Problem.
Suche mir jetzt eine andere App.

Wieso diese Kritik ? Du kennst Locus scheinbar kaum.

Locus 4 habe ich schon lange nicht mehr eingesetzt aber bisher lief Locus völlig ohne Netzwerkverbindung (Ausnahme die Free Version).
Wo ist also das Tracking ?

Eine Netzwerkverbindung brauchst Du nur für den Store, für das Online Backup und alle Daten, die aktualisiert werden.

Das kannst Du alles manuell machen.

Android und die meisten Apps senden nach Überall Daten aber Du beklagst Dich über Locus ?
Du scheinst also kein Netguard oder Ähnliches einzusetzen.
Hier entgeht mir die Logik.

Aktuell habe ich es nicht geprüft aber Locus baut nur 1 oder 2 Verbindungen zu Google auf und das scheint der SDK geschuldet zu sein. Das machen (fast) alle Apps.

Netguard und diese beiden Verbindungen gesperrt und Locus läuft sowohl Online wie Offline. Ohne Einschränkungen.

Ich hoffe Du schaust Dir den Datenverkehr der anderen Apps ganz genau an.

Not sure what is the advantage of the new Lib.

@Christian - for me the standout advantages are:

• single consolidated "folder structure" instead of artificial distinction between tracks & points
• up to 6 levels of subfolders
• quick "return" to current folder when MyLibrary button is tapped (instead of navigating any hierarchy)

I didn't have any problems with my dashboards during upgrade.

Unfortunately, add OSM points directly in the Locus app. This needs to be done first on the OpenStreetMap website, then wait quite a long time for the point to appear in Locus before adding the photo. It is terribly lengthy and most people, including me, discourage me. Therefore, it would be better if Locus introduced its own database of global Lobodies that could be created as fast as personal Lobodies. They could then use a macro to translate to OpenStreetMap once in a while.

@jonny.blue
funny, thanks

@freischneider & @Cyklo Miro
thanks. You stay stuck on this crash, damn. I'll generate a fixed version today and ask you for a quick test before it goes public.

I confirm, same behavior for me

At Locus Maps, you treat the browser application so neglected ... it is really not fun to work with it.

The web browser interface is ew and quite basic still...as with gold you can sync to locus server, currently its a basic way to access your cloud synced data...its not google maps....ive been using locus maps for almost 15 years....

The main reason for the gold suncription is to help fund development....consider it like youtube channel membership, or patreon etc, gold emmbers get extra features, but the silver and even free is very usuable....the more gold subscribers, the quicker we will get more features!   And in recent years the speed of features been rolled out has increased since gold membership became available.

With a lot of small app developers they actually listen to their users, unlike Big tech like google etc...


There have been several times when ive posted an idea, a few hours later Menion has implemented and posted it will be there on next release...not many app developers will do this....

until a few years ago, there was no browser application! And there was just one Android developer. There is no team of 1000's like @ Facebook or Google, just a few people. I find it amazing how much has been developed over the years with so few resources.

for a list of all active WebPlanner ideas see https://help.locusmap.eu/topics/idea/status/all-active/category/30/sort/popular/page/1

Once you have sorted the folders manually, the blue tick should also remain in the "Sort manually" entry and not in "Name" again, which is actually irritating.

Thanks Graf Geo. A little confusing? Clearly sorted alphabetically by Name in my screen cap, but 2011, 2007, then 2013? Sure I can sort manually, and I will (& no doubt actually is). Great new feature BTW. But I'm thinking more ahead to the 1000's of new/ existing users that could have a similar experience and waste LM support time on a detail that should need no support. So, in the least, there is a bug or improvement to be made, in that list is sorted manually, but the tick indicator shows incorrect sorting by Name. So worthwhile discussion I feel.

My confusion - the "Sort by" options don't apply to folders. OK, I finally get it. Maybe a little clarification like in my updated screen cap?

Separate topic - I've seen the "top level" folder referred to inconsistently as "Root" and "Home" in app & webplanner. Certainly "move to 'root folder' folder" is not the best. I think "Root" is jargon & suggest "home" be used everywhere.

[final RC4 version uploaded to Google Drive]

Hi guys,
final RC4 version uploaded to Google Drive.

Plan?
Final version and release on Monday, if there won't be any serious reason not to do it.

It is a big change, so I'll publish it only to a portion of the new users per day for the next approximately 14 days.

If you have anything crucial you are not sure it works as expected, last two days to test 

Have a nice weekend!

Now that I am extensively reorganising my folders, points & tracks for the new V2 library, I am finding the Move To function somewhat tedious in that the default folder is always the root. A "recent list" of folders may be even more useful than a "favorite list".

When deleting an empty folder is there any real need for the extra step of ticking a checkbox/ absolving LM of any loss of data? Again seems tedious. When there is a subfolder now there are 2 checkboxes to tick ;-( A recycle bin would almost be the best of both worlds 1) no confirmation step, 2) can undelete if a mistake.

@freischneider: You might have a lot of space there. Not me, as I now have several folders under root, not just tracks and points That's the nice thing about the new MyLib, that you are completely free with the folder structure.

"Last selected" or "Favourites" (not a bad idea) would have to be placed somewhere else. I myself get on well with the "search folder" function. An optimal solution for everyone might be difficult...
