@Diddi: There is a very recent update of the Geocaching4Locus addon in the Playstore. Maybe that will solve your problem, I haven't tried it.

@Menion: Manual segments now seem to be permanently retained with "Recalculate all", even after saving the route. Perfect.

[Beta version 4.22.2.3]

Beta version 4.22.2.3 just uploaded to Google Drive, with a long list of fixes.

If there won't be any serious issues, I would like to publish it to Google Play next week.

[beta version 4.22.2.1]

The new beta version 4.22.2.1 was just generated with a bunch of very interesting changes.
Have a nice weekend, we have four free days now, so excuse me and enjoy sunny days!

@Tapio
good point, thanks. I'll think about it ...

Only the German translation of "collapse/expand" is not ideal. Perhaps "einklappen/ausklappen"

done, see next version

Thanks a lot for the release, Menion. According to my initial tests, it looks good! No more problems with the red circles. Addresses are updated in the route planner when dragging and adding points. No more nonsensical track time values when recalculating and "overwriting" a route. Perfect.

Only the German translation of "collapse/expand" is not ideal. Perhaps "einklappen/ausklappen" or "zusammenfassen/erweitern" would be better. SCHLIESSEN is more like "close".

I can confirm the error reported by freischneider, it still occurs.

Select location" screen
here it could be helpful to add the "Select from screen" item.

I like the route planner much more now

me too, thanks @menion

Overall I like the new navigation UI. Nice ideas. It ties in with the Web Planner UI. It is amazing to reflect on how far LM navigation has progressed since the first integration with BRouter.

1) I'd agree with @tapio. I don't think the default use-case when tapping a point name should be a search? From the point menu surely enough? Panning the point into view on the map, same as tapping the point icon, seems more intuitive to me. And definitely long-tap on the point icon to toggle, or display point details?

2) It would be *really nice* if the drag up bottom panel provided a ">" button, consistent with ordinary track details panel, to show the full chart, and (in my case) slope.

3) 6 points in the list is taking up too much screen space - half of tablet in portrait orientation. As @tapio said it would be good if it could be more compact, and, for me, maybe 3 points are enough. Could the user drag the bottom panel to their desired height rather than a height where each user wants something different? I know each shaping point has it's number in middle of the green triangle, but so hard to see, so could the number also be included in the point name, similar to Via point name, as marked up below?

4) Could tapping on the profile icon in between each point allow selection, and changing, of the method of segment routing?

i experience lot of lags while moving and loading map-areas. To test if this is vector-map+theme related I switched to a raster-map (mbtiles), same there.
Cannot give details, just a change that is noticeable over here.

Hallo in der aktuellen Beta v4.21.1.1 werden die (Auswahl) Icon nicht mehr richtig dargestellt. Es scheint, als hätte man nur den Schatten.

@Andrew Heard
"Error when nav points are close" > better error is of course better , but I need to simulate it to set up and verify the correct error message.

"Font size" > I hoped it would be possible to temporarily reduce the size of the font for the whole tablet. This is the default size? We talk about your Tab A7??

@Tapio
Import of 850 files > heh, I do not have so huge amount of files to test  . May you share with me this problematic pack?

Database size
A secondary database (archive) is not planned, sorry.

Anyway, what we discussed is improving sync logic.
Currently, all data needs to be on the device and if "sync" is enabled, all are synced to the web. What we plan (it may change because we mostly discuss it for now), is to offer options like:

- keep folder local, sync (currently all folders)
- keep folder local, does not sync
- local folder data on demand, all on the cloud

[Locus Map Beta 4.20.1.1]

Locus Map Beta 4.20.1.1 (test version on Google Drive)

with surprise for @balloni55 and probably also others

Have a nice weekend!

[@jonny.blue]

Thanks Michael,
unfortunately, the version with a fix (problem with choosing a routing profile), that came an hour later, was not refused by Google, again because of some insufficient informing of users about subscription, omg. So, most probably one more version will have to be published next hours/days, who knows? But nothing serious. The version on the Drive is perfectly fine to use. Sorry for this mess. 

@jonny.blue & @AgusOrux
hmm, perfect, at least something positive!

Uff, hopefully with 4.20.1 (1121) version, all major problems are solved. Thanks and have a nice weekend!

Thanks. Route planner route still leaking into main screen btw.

Hi guys, the new version brings a lot of interesting changes and even more on the background. I have to thanks a lot for tests most of you made during last weeks. It really helped a lot!!

Version 4.20.0 was uploaded to the Google Play, but was rejected because of some missing info in subscription screen. It will take some time to fix it, so I've at least uploaded APK to the public Google Drive directory. If anyone wants to test and use this version, feel free to do it.

Have a nice weekend!
