Locus Map / Re: [APP] - version 4.18.+ ( 8/2023 )

I can confirm this.
However, if you use Google Maps in the browser, it works.

thanks @Marek, and the issue reported many times, of search results from > 10,000km away at the top of the list, when there are closer matches on the map < 10km away?
This is not forgotten, just there is no "fix". There is tons of work to determine relevance of results and: Not everything is under my control. Also the rule that closer "match" is more important is oversimplification as we (not just me) agree. I may do some tweaks but proper solution takes time.

Hi guys,
we will be publishing a new final version to Google Play this week so please wait for it. There is currently no Beta version with fixed "Google Maps share point" behavior.

Sorry for the objection, but your problem is not one. If Youtube shows you advertising, it has nothing to do with Locus.
And you don't have to click on the link. I have never even noticed the video, although I have often downloaded articles from the Locus store.

Hi guys,

handling Google Maps share button should be fixed. Please check the next version of Locus Map and if you still encounter some problems, please let us know.

Quote from: Menion on July 24, 2023, 09:32:50I believe that color under the "brush" icon is not necessary here. You are usually not toggling visibility on/off here. So it will only confuse (at least me) that something is enabled even if I do not want it.
I understand brush and eye symbol are technically not the same, but the blue color indicates, something is turned on (or tracks/points are on) or not. IMO blue tint helps to instantly spot what's going on.

Route planner, embedded waypoints: it does that on ANY profile. Internal, external...any. One is attached.

Sharing position from a Google Maps entry is still broken, ever since Locus implemented its new search system. It's really quite annoying while traveling to resort to this long tap hack.

Personally, I don't want to see the shaping points on map. It has always been like this. They're just a technical necessity to build a track.

Suggestion: Blue background also for points and tracks, if at least one is shown. White if 0 or temp. hidden. Helps orienteering of the eye.

Quote from: freischneider on July 21, 2023, 13:48:29Transparency helps here. Unfortunately, the colors are then no longer as strong
How about only displaying the pattern, e. g. arrows? This is what I do.  Arrows in slope colour.

How is it possible, you so quickly noticed new Beta version?  :)

And thanks for the report. Version fixed and re-uploaded. I was completely changing background system how the app comunicate with the Locus Store (for upcomming changes) and minor issue was undetected.

You are of course right, just ... what I wrote before :)

Give a try to the next version first please ... before I start destroying the working system ...

Hi guys,
it is complicated. The app disables everything possible when the screen goes off to save power. I'm a little worried to modify here something, to be honest.

Anyway, I've found a place where it may be improved and a little speed-up. So next version ...

Other features / Re: Online search

probably been mentioned before, but every time I use online search I feel I'm battling/ pushing uphill; example search for close-by road in Web Planner - first three suggestions are on the other side of the earth; why aren't these suggestions sorted by distance to the users position?

I hope you had a nice break.

Quote from: Menion on July 11, 2023, 10:48:04thanks for the report regards BlueStack, but to be true, since Windows sub-system for Android work perfectly
@Menion - I recall long time ago BlueStacks was an LM suggestion. I spent a long time trying to get Windows sub-system for Android working, and posted a few comments/ questions for help, but no one helped. Maybe it's easier now. Is there an up-to-date procedure for installing it?

Hi guys,
I had a small vacation so sorry for the delay.

@freischneider
I would like to keep the whole top panel visible (otherwise it will need a bigger change in the UI), but disabled auto-hiding is of course an issue, so consider it fixed!

Long-click to toggle themes > because you still need to open the side panel, I think it does not save too much time here.

@Tapio
thanks for the explanation of "your embedded waypoints use-case". Understand. Interesting is that your "refresh bug" works :). Anyway it is similar to the "Hide other tracks" feature we discussed yesterday on the help desk. I do not have a big problem with creating such advanced functionality, but I have more and more problems with finding some logical place, where this activates. We all know that app is really complicated for new users and I have to be more careful when adding additional functionality that makes it even more complicated, sorry.

Problem with theme > I've tried your theme "Tapiola" > works. Then closed Locus Map, removed the subfolder and started app again. The app throws a warning that the theme can't be selected. After manual selection, seems to work correctly. So no problem.

@Viajero Perdido
thanks for the info. I'll forward this to @voldapet

@Andrew Heard
thanks for the report regards BlueStack, but to be true, since Windows sub-system for Android work perfectly, I do not use any other emulator. I've tried BlueStack some time ago and it refused to run on my PC. Because it works as expected on all known Android devices, then ... thanks for understanding.

Refresh of points after "copy" > got it, thanks.
