I would take the larger zip file. Maybe the phone has already started to delete the small one.
Export your new tours first and then import the backup. If you have points export them too. If you have attached pictures, back them up too.
Then restore the backup and import the new stuff again.
Tip: Make a better backup.
1. backup local
2. backup with WLAN to the cloud (if you lose your phone you don't have your local backup anymore).
3. i have set to automatically backup each track to the cloud when saving. I do this with mobile data. (If your last backup was on Sunday and you recorded tracks Monday-Tuesday. And your loss is on Wednesday, then those 2 days are not in the backup. If you exported them to the cloud, you can import them again later.

Your phone may have performed a garbage collection and cleared the database. Disable these functions in any case.
Have you activated a backup in Locus ?

I have created a Tasker project.
Use case:
Phone on the handlebars of the bike. Screen off. Navigation of a route. At a turn Locus turns on the screen and makes a voice announcement. I like to have a small zoom to have some overview of the surroundings. But with a navigation announcement I don't really see the details of the turn. This requires a large zoom and right after that I need the small one again.
Solution:
With voice announcement Locus zooms to zoom level 20 (Adjustable) and after 7 seconds (Adjustable) back to the old value.

It is also possible to zoom only 2 or 3 levels instead of the fixed zoom level.

You can download the project via the link.

Criticism and improvements are welcome. Improvements are always possible.

Idea Preset:
1. at the end of the start process there is a question which preset should be used.
2. the last preset is loaded
3. a very specific preset is loaded
4. no preset is loaded and the normal settings are used. This should also be the default setting.

Why 1: For the user who changes very often between preset. When I start Locus I know exactly why and what I want to do (what to look at, what to test, hiking, MTB, Geocaching. So I am quickly at my preset and do not forget to set it.

Why 2: I do not know if this option is needed at all. If I did something different last time like this time, I have the wrong preset. If I always do the same thing, 3. is good too.

Why3: If I always do the same thing 90% of the time, then this preset is always loaded. And in the other 10% I just have to select another one in the main menu.

Why 4: This option is for new users. They don't know what preset is yet and it should be as simple and intuitive as possible in the beginning.

Interesting. I just completed a tasker projekt to add points of comments for my "known street" database.
Means recording audio while riding, translate into text. Create a kmz file with location, audio and transcription which can be imported in locus.

The tasker side is ok for me. What I would like to know is how you trigger the tasker tasks from Locus. Specialy if you have an idea to even parse parameters.
You mentioned something like "quick bookmark" in first post but have no idea what you mean.

Bcs it's off topic to locus you might give me a hint via Email mzk@libertynet.eu
Is not an issue for here. But maybe open a topic in the forum. eg. Other Features. It might be useful for others too.

I just see that no answer came here. Best to ask in the helpdesk in the future. Answer there for sure

The map orientation during navigation is not optimal. I have the screen off during navigation. Locus turns the screen on briefly when a turn is indicated.
The first thing that happens after switching on: Locus has to align the map first and everything spins. Locus always starts to rotate the map from north. If I drive to the south, it is a lot of turning. After that I am iritated for a while. That's why I have to leave the screen on longer. Which of course costs a lot of battery.
Suggestion: Locus gives turn-by-turn directions based on the distance to the turn, in seconds. Locus could align the map in the background 2-3 seconds before turning on the screen.

Das sollte aber auch gehen wenn eine andere Karte Aktiv ist. Die Daten werden ja im Hintergrund gezogen. Da sollte es reichen wenn die Karte installiert ist. Bei der offline suche nach Orten ist es ja auch so. Ich denke es ist ein Bug. Eventuell Mal Menion melden.
#399
Danke euch.....da muss ich mich wohl erst mal einarbeiten.

In der neuesten Beta wurde ein Fix mit regex filter behoben.
Frage: was ist Regex überhaupt und was kann ich damit tun. Vielleicht 1 - 2 Beispiele.
Danke

The best thing they do here is make a suggestion for improvement. Then others can vote.

No one has commented on the change of Zoom button color in 4.10.0.8. I like it - consistent with other buttons & better contrast, but being such a big visual change I'm hoping there isn't a user backlash & reversion to original color scheme :D
Thoughts on the compass needle button? It's still white. I'm undecided.

I hesitate to (auto) hide the centering button btw only because then the bump in the bottom bar is unnecessary. That makes no sense. It should be evened out or maybe the centering going into the bottom bar.

The logic show/hide in case of the centering button should rather be: "show outside / inside bottom bar"
I would leave the compass white. With black, the red north arrow is hard to see. Poor contrast black and white.

Die Berichte werden automatisch gesendet. Aber Menion braucht deine User ID und Datum Uhrzeit, um den richtigen Bericht zu finden. Du findest sie im Menü unter Appinfo (auf jeden Fall bei LM4)
#404
Es gibt seit einem jahr die Funktion damit Menion alle Absturzberichte bekommt. Mit der User ID bzw. Phone ID kann er dann schauen ob er was findet. Ob das auch bei LM3 geht weiß ich nicht.
Damit könntest du dann im Helpdesk fragen
#405
Da gibt eine Option die hinzugefügt werden muss. Hat Menion erst bei 2 Apps gemacht. OSMgo und noch eine. Am besten im Helpdesk anfragen.
