that is in the maps section under the online tab, the map is 'OSM - regional openhikingmap' but the download function will not allow downloading for offline use which is why I want to somehow grab that bike&hike OSM map.

many thanks gynta.
I have that plugin already installed.
The problem is... how do I get Locus to look at the link for hike&bike I provided?
I tried to download the 'hiking' map that is listed in Locus but a error came up telling me the map hoster will not allow downloads.
As for that hike&bike map - I have no idea how to even view it in Locus :-(
#18
it wont allow it and there is no way to put in the website address to get Locus to look at it.

Thanks gynta
I understand that.
But is there no way of downloading from any other way the hike&bike map?

Hi all.

I have the vector download addon for Locus but there is a hiking and biking map on OSM which shows countryside paths and routes etc.

It can be seen on this site....  http://hikebikemap.de/

Does anyone know of a way I can download the 'hike and bike map' for Great Britain/England please as I prefer it over the one that Locus downloads with the vector plugin.

MANY thanks.

Add-ons & Co-apps / Re: Addon - Geocaching
January 10, 2012, 21:11:00
Hi all.

I am a BIG fan of Locus and have started GeoCaching and this addon looks superb.

My problem is that I do have a tendency to be cautious putting usernames and passwords into apps that then reference none connected websites.  I have read that GeoCaching.com advises no android app is given your username and password to geocaching.com and so I am a little cautious.

Is this addon safe to use please?

Thanks alot

(sorry if this post seems a little pointless and please forgive me if I have offended the writers of the addon - but I just dont know if I shiould input my username and password).

Troubles & Questions / Re: compass screen?
January 08, 2012, 23:52:02
wow - thanks menion.
I knew it was in there somewhere as I have used it before.

Is there any way to get onto that compass screen and use it as a general indicator as I cant see a button for it anywhere and it is kinda nice to go on a hike or walk and use a compass.

Cheers again for your ultra fast reply. I appreciate it.

Troubles & Questions / compass screen?
January 08, 2012, 23:28:08
Hi all,

Sorry for the stupid question but I cant find the compass screen.

Is there a compass screen in addition to the one that shows the GPS satellites please?

I was kinda hoping to put a geocache as a POI and use a compass screen to show me the direction instead of using the map.

Is this possible?

Cheers all.

WOW Menion - store permanently!   You always were a genius but now your a double genius.

Thanks so much for taking on board my request and working so quickly to sort it out for me.

Its a great addition.

MANY thanks Menion. :-)

Thanks menion - that was exactly what I was looking for.  :-) :-)
Ihad no idea those little marks meant second function.
yay!!!
I am happy.

Thanks berkley - but that doesnt work as meniono rightly said it shares the same ID in the database so will be overwritten.

Menion: thanks for the reply - I appreciate it.  I know this method can be done but it is nowhere near as good as the awesome way we can use the quick navigation seletion icon and choose an addres to navigate to - or a favourtie, or a contact etc.  That method is by far the best method for voice navigation but is only let down by the fect the tracks cant be saved.

Cheers.

Many thanks for the quick repy menion.  :-)

I understand what you say but I dont think this method will work.  I use the +end point quick launch to make a voice guided navigation track.   Now lets say I travel that route and like it but want to save the route to use another time.  I tried your method by going into 'functions' and 'add new route' but there is no way to save the current track that was formed with the navigation shortcut.  The only thing that can be done is to select 'add new route' then press the 'compute route' icon and choose what type of route - but even that does not let you save it.  It just remains as 'Navigation in the tracks menu and is always replaced by the next voice navigation regardless of how the track name is edited.

The only way I have found to do it is quite long winded...

I have to export the 'Navigation' as a gpx...
then go into 'import data' and then reimport that file into a POI catagory...
then it will appear in 'tracks' with all the navigation cues properly.

But this is quite long winded as it used to be possible to justr rename directly from the created track but it seems now that all navigation tracks are embedded with the title of 'navigation' which means no matter what I save directly it is always overwritten.  A good example is my procedure I just explained...

I had my nagiational track and exported with the name of 'tester'...
but when it is imported back into the tracks menu it has the name 'navigation' again.
The whole thing seems to be down to the tiny problem that all voice navigated tracks are no longer called 'temp' and sequencially numbered but are now just called 'navigation' which means only 1 can ever exist.

I hope I explained that ok Menion.

Cheers mate.

Hiya all/Menion.

Found something very frustrating today and wondered if it was a bug or I am doing something wrong...

Put an address in and got my navigation track via MapQuest - all was great... but it seems I cant save that that track anymore to use another time.

Previously I have changed the name of the standard 'navigation' file that is written from 'navigation' or 'temporary' to my chose file name and it has stayed there in the 'tracks' section for me to use another time with voice navigation without it having to contact the navigation servers....

but now....

I change the name via edit to keep the track but as soon as I ask it to calculate another destination it writes a brand new 'navigation' track but gets rid of the last one I saved despite me changing the name.

Does anyone know if this is a bug - or if not - how I save a voice navigation track for later use.

Cheers.

Other features / Favourite POIs?
October 04, 2011, 10:09:57
Howdy all.

I see that when using the navigation setting it will only allow you to pick a destination POI that is in your favourites.

My slightly silly question is:- whats the best way to get your favourites actually into your favourties.

The only method I have found is to go into each POI catagory and then the individual POI and copy it to the favourites catagory.

Is this the only method?

Cheers all.  :D
