[Beta 4.30.1.6 uploaded]

I'm just leaving, but Beta 4.30.1.6 uploaded, uff 

- fixed OSM notes I hope
- added option to "Force re-load all Geotagged media". @Tapio if possible, give it a try. Simply install the app, enable logging to file, open detail of Geotagged media and in the top right corner is this new option. It will delete the database and rescan all data again. In the log should be a record of every scanned item. Thanks!

hmm, this is a new problem? There were no changes in the login system, weird. You are logging in with email/password?

Okay, die Beschreibung kann ich nachvollziehen, bin jedoch auch nur selten unter ZL11 unterwegs.
Vielleicht teste ich es nochmal.

Ist dabei dann eine Festlegung möglich/automatisch, an welchem ZL eine dann besser auflösende Vektorkarte "einspringt"

Warum probierst du es nicht einfach? 

Natürlich geht das, mache ich ständig.

@Menion:

Thanks for the update. You didn't mention it in the changelog, but clicking on the red pointer now moves the map directly to the location you're looking for. Perfect. 👍

(See this topic)

I got several observations about the new LoPoints:

• They still don't work with offline raster maps. I mentioned this before, don't remember if there was a reason, but it's inconvenient and confusing - if this is technically not possible, Locus should at least display a message when activating LoPoints over a map which doesn't support it.
• Worse, when I switch back from raster map to other map with LoPoints on, they still don't appear. I have to zoom in or out (sometimes multiple times) to "trigger" display.
• The highlighted icons have an un-intuitive "tap point": You have to click on the tip of the arrow. But the intuitive thing is to tap the icon itself. When several icons overlap each other and I tap on the top-most, I instead select some half-hidden one in the background. Same applies for moving the center cross over some point - I can be slap-dap in the middle of a "food & drinks" icon and a box pops up saying "guidepost" (which is not even a highlighted category).

And thanks to the online poi we are always much more up to date than oam

I think we don't know when/how often ASAMM updates the database.

@Menion, if search is set to Offline Places, it requires 3 actions to leave the search, not ideal. I understand where it's coming from historically, but maybe you can react differently depending from where the search has been initiated.

I don't know if it's because of the new version or the latest LoMaps update. In any case, street names are no longer assigned to shaping points in the route planner, and when saving the route, the title is no longer entered ("Untitled").

Okay, that's sorted. A few days ago, I updated all my LoMaps using the new mass update function. Since then, the addresses/street names had disappeared.

Now I've downloaded all the maps again individually and now I have three files per country/region: *osm.maps, *.osm.db and *poi2.db
I think the osm.db files were missing before.
In any case, the addresses are now back.
No idea what happened there.

It's very simple. Create the points as track points (audio). They are therefore saved in the track and belong to the track.
When exporting, you can choose with attachments. If you choose GPZ then everything is in one file. If you choose gpx then the audio is in an extra folder.

Hello freischneider,
this is exactly what I need but I already tried to export the track to gpx with attachments. I got only the gpx file and I didn't see  any folder with media files inside.

Maybe I did something wrong,  will try again.

@Graf Geo
hidden "Other POIs" > as I wrote, if you remove all 3rd party databases (OAM, ...) and update all LoMaps - so there won't be any V1 database version, this item won't be visible at all.

Uploading a photo to LoPoints > it will be a lot improved in the next app version, so this option will be available only for our LoPoints. It does not make sense for other sources. Also, the app previously updated the details of the LoPoints with online data. This will now also work only for "Asamm LoPoints".

Update of LoPoints V1 > since the next LoMaps update (July 2025), V1 database will be removed from the update completely. In the long vision, this "Other POIs" should be used only for custom databases.

@Andrew Heard
top panel > thanks, finally fixed

@slarti76
Split track times > this is a safety mechanism to prevent some nonsensical times. Anyway, your use case is perfectly valid. I'll update logic a little to the next app version.

@T-mo
New LoPoints > I believe the profit of the change is quite big. No difference in online/offline work. A lot richer content of POIs, full compatibility of offline and online, better placement on the map and for use - very easy to modify both worlds at once.

Db documentation and support for 3rd parties > no, not planned and definitely not recommended. New system is a lot more complicated than the previous and we need to keep compatibility with the online and iOS world. That's why "Other POIs" will exist and will still be well supported.

Track detail > you are looking on the track from MyLibrary, probably. So it is a full-screen page with small map. Display the track on the map if you need to see more of it.

Red pointer > "click action" should be fixed in the next app version.

Thank you. I don't fully understand it, but ok. For example, I didn't realise that the old offline LoPoints (V1) also used 3rd party POIs. I had only rarely activated them. Now (V2) they are only pure LoPoints.

So if I don't need the "Other Pois" option, couldn't the option be hidden via the map content menu? So that it doesn't take up unnecessary space?

Ich experimentiere noch immer mit diversen Einstellungen um die Navigation, auch bei Verlassen der ursprünglichen Route - z.b. bei einer Abkürzung o.ä. - und späterer Rückkehr zur Route so hin zu bekommen, dass dies auch zuverlässig funktioniert.

Mein Fazit zu diesem Thema war: Die App kann nicht entscheiden, an welcher Stelle ich wieder auf den Track will. Zuvorderst weil: a) Tracks haben beliebige Formen b) ich einen beliebigen Willen.
Es gibt noch andere Aspekte. Rat: nicht automatisieren. Bei mir ist autom. Neuberechnung immer aus.

Am I the only one where the "remove all notifications" button does only close the window, but keep all notifications? Removing 20 of them via swiping is a bit tiring.

One more thing: the LoPoints on the map no longer display photos.

Ok, found it. I think the new LoPoint online/offline system should be explained better.

In the settings under LoPoints, I now found the (new?) option:
Loading mode: Automatic / Online only / Offline only

"Automatic" was set, which meant that Locus always preferred the offline LoPoints despite a good internet connection. Of course, they don't have any photos.

I have now set it to "Online only", and the photos are now displayed again. However, as soon as I have no or poor network coverage, no LoPoints are displayed... somehow, the whole thing is not ideal.

Furthermore, no new LoPoint photos have been uploaded since yesterday...

[final version 4.29.0.14]

Hi guys,
I'll look at it later.

For now, the final version 4.29.0.14 is ready to release (next week)!

   4.29.0.14
   - chg: update in LoMaps themes
   - fix: crash at start when negative un-archived notification exists
   4.29.0.13
   - chg: final version of the route planner refactoring
   - fix: "Log visit" in guidance panel is inactive when GC detail panel is open
   - add: support for clusterization of highlighted LoPoints respecting icon size
   - chg: better refresh of MyLib content after deletion
   - add: visible profile type icon during recalculation
   - fix: incorrect reporting of deleting of shared tracks when sync is not active
   4.29.0.12
   - chg: public support for offline LoPoints V2 (new LoMaps needed)
   - add: mass selection for new "Store updates" dialog
   - chg: informing about deprecation of LoPoints V1
   - chg: removed "Offline LoPoint autoload" settings (no longer needed)
   - chg: long click on profile button in route planner for quick access to profile parameters
   - fix: color tint for trackpoints icons on the map and in UI
   - chg: improved MyLib folder selection dialog
   - fix: incorrectly restored "way types" in Route planner

I very much hope for improvements here and make the following suggestions

What about adding the possibility to open the parameter settings by long-clicking the profile title? (Everything else could stay the same, including the three-dot-menu.)

Then you can do it with the menu as well. That's something you don't change very often.

His point is exactly that he changes it very often...
