[MapGooglePlay_4.21.1.5 RC_1125_beta]

Beta version MapGooglePlay_4.21.1.5 RC_1125_beta published!

Resolving of address for every point in route planner, resolve route direction, both beautiful.

Choose location > under this menu is quite a lot of options, so I would rather stick with the united system across the app. Anyway, what is unexpected on the "Navigate to" call?

The search is unexpected. I already know where I want to navigate to and don't need the search. Most of the time when I use "Navigate to" I want to nav from gps pos to screen center.

Wouldn't it be more logical if it came up with the screen as attached?

Hello, I have just tried out the latest beta with the new route planner administration. Thanks for all that work! As is so often the case, you have to get used to the changes.

Some remarks: I myself hardly ever need the list with the via points/shaping points. It would therefore be better for me if it didn't open initially, but I could only open it (pull it up) when needed. At the moment it's the other way round: every time I want to edit a route with the route planner, the entire list opens, in which I may have 15 or 20 or even more shaping/via points. And every time I have to pull it down to make it disappear. Perhaps this behaviour could be offered as a selectable option in the settings.

The "collaps" function is very practical, but this is only included in the menu for the very last shaping point (the destination). So I have to scroll down to the very last entry in the list to be able to select "collaps". Perhaps this option could be offered in the menu for every single shaping point. Or in the icon bar on the top of the list.

Otherwise everything works quite well, a few translations (in German) are still missing in the menus, but it's a beta version

Just one more request: it would be nice if it would be possible to choose the position (size) of the menu when selecting the altitude profile so that only the altitude chart and not the two bar charts for route types and surface are visible. They take up a lot of space and I usually don't need them. (I can select the Graph Hopper, then they are not there, but it should also be possible with the LoRouter).

I like the route planner much more now, but that's probably because the new panel with the list can stay hidden now. I must admit I am not seeing its usefulness.

"Navigate to" starts with search, confusing.

Screenshot: Can't you put the "Choose location" options directly into the "..." menu? Opening that sub-window has always been a bit weird. So there the search should be placed.

Further to my last post & @freischneider I've made a video showing how hard it is to hide the new bottom panel - 5 attempts to drag down & hide - it kept on popping up. Finally got it to "stay down" - why is it so tedious? Also suggest the visibility is a sticky setting. Once LM knows the user doesn't want to see this panel, keep it hidden (as in previous version). Even better would be to remember the users preferred height of this panel & restore it next time.

Auch nach 700 Inkarnationen von "ja, aber" wird Locus kein KFZ-Router.

Nein, bitte nicht. Wenn ich das Endpunkt verpasse, soll Locus am Ball bleiben.

Hello, Locus Map do nothing with file permissions, so if there is a problem, not on the app side.

I do not understand perfectly what is the problem, anyway, I have experienced that when copying files manually into the Locus Map directory over PC, the app crashes because it can`t write into database files. So probably something similar to your problem?

With the recent Beta version, app may move it`s own main directory into Android/media directory, so maybe this may help on the permissions problem. "Android/media" is still a small mystery to me, anyway seems to solve few problems ...

Hi freischneider, thanks for the ideas. Yes, both are planned, we only had to put bigger search upgrades on hold due to other dev priorities, so hopefully we will get back to it in the mid of this year. So sorry it takes so long to continue on this.

die Expert settings musst du zuerst einschalten

allerdings funktioniert die von mir beschriebene Einstellung bei LM4 nicht, habe dazu gerade

Wenn bei dir "Karte drehen mit 2 Fingern" nicht geht ist vermutlich
Einstellungen/Kartenansicht/Einfaches Multi-Touch eingeschaltet.

Hallo,
vielen Dank für Ihre Nachricht. Locus POIs sind streng bei der Anzeige von Parkplätzen und es werden nur Parkplätze mit access=yes|public|customers angezeigt.

Vielen Dank

Hello,
thank you for your message. Locus POIs are strict when displaying parking lots and only parking lots with access=yes|public|customers are displayed.

Thank you

are you sure, that the toilet icon is offline LoPoint? So the active clickable point that comes from the (attached to the map) offline database?
You may recognize lopoints by visible "Add photo" icon in the top right corner of the point detail.

@menion - just doubled checked - yes offline LoPoint & "Add photo" icon.

A different topic, and probably an observation rather than any action needed, but I have 4.21.0 installed on device:
You cannot view this attachment.
and yet Google Play Store offers to update to 4.20?? I declined the offer. I have not seen this before, and probably tomorrow everything will be "back in sync".

@freischneider , for your info. BRouter (or extension as LoRouter) does not have the "Suggest circular route" feature implemented. So for this, we use the "GraphHopper" service. This difference is not clearly visible, sorry for this. You may notice it when selecting the routing type in thsi "Suggest circular route" feature. In that moment, you may notice that you select the profile in the GraphHopper service and not the LoRouter.

I have tried routing with the LoRouter without my own shaping points. I set a starting point and then had a circular route suggested. The MTB profile was set. Latest beta from 19.01.2024.
The route is very bad. It runs on roads although there is a gravel path in parallel and even an MTB trail with S1 (red-blue).

I have set all shaping points myself in the past to force the path. I thought I would try again to see if the profile got better. But unfortunately it still doesn't suggest any good MTB trails. So I will probably do everything by hand as I have done since then.

Hi, freischneider
Here is a link to the first half of the route from the attached txt file.
https://link.locusmap.app/r/5o6vai
I can see some places where maybe the cycling route does not need to be strictly followed (while riding MTB).
Please show specifically what is wrong here.
The red blue path we see on your screenshot is followed. (Althougt a path is not followed just because somebody mapped its mtb difficulty).

Seeing a track in a 3D environment would for sure be great, especially useful if it was possible in track planner.
