turn off GPS, so cursor position is used

I hope this is just a workaround, not by design.

When I'm standing in one place but the cursor is at another, my attention is at the other place, and I'd like the search / weather forecast / whatever to be at that location.  Just my opinion.

BTW as menion wrote in #20 there is a separat topic for new "Online search system".

Oh, I notice a disadvantage: there is no possibility to browse POI categories hierarchically.

If I pick a category like "Shelter", it displays other categories like peaks, as dots. But I didn't ask for those. Their color permanently changes while moving map.

New Locus Map, Beta 4.16.0.2
Finally with the new "Online search system". I'm glad to introduce a half year of work of three people > I believe that after 10+ years, finally usable online address & LoPoints search. 

I have nothing to do with it, so all questions to @Radim V & @Marek Scholtz . Because it is a big feature, everyone who wants to ask something or discuss it, Marek created a separate topic for this here. They'll be of course very glad for any feedback!

Enjoy the weekend!

@joeloc
thanks. I'll have to think about what you wrote a little more next days. Too late tonight ...

Hi guys,
instead of waiting till the new search system will be ready, I've just published the new version 4.16 today, so we may benefit from a few improvements done last few weeks. Thanks for the help as usually and have a nice weather 

I like T-Mos idea. Because the way to themes settings is a bit far, and it's often needed. IMO, to be logical and consistent, it should be like this:

Theme short: Themes settings
Theme long: list all themes
- can be vice versa because of habit...

Map short: As it is now
Map long: Goto the full maps window

One point though: There's themes which have no settings.

Menion, could you add an expert setting to enable long-press on theme-button to directly jump to theme's StyleMenu for quick access, so overriding theme-selection dialog?

A variant of this option (expert setting) could be, normal click jumps to theme's stylemenu - to change settings of active theme (enable routes, trails etc., change style), and long-click to open themes-selection menu - to switch to another theme, which might be less often.

With expert setting enabled the icon might appear in e.g. neon-pink colour

4.15.2.5: @menion I think the new text for Manual Backup "Content" is a good an improvement over the previous truncated text. Thanks.

[Beta version 4.15.2.5]

I should not talk about "Last version with old function X" etc, because the new Beta version 4.15.2.5 with the old search system has just been published.

Many internal fine-tunings & a final improved version of the backup manager.

Enjoy the weekend!

I'd agree with @tapio & @T-mo on most points. Overall - excellent improvement.

• change "loading" to "processing" or even "backing up"
• the list of words in my content left of the SELECT button was even more truncated, but I feel a full list like @T-mo suggests is a waste of screen space. How about the truncated list is replaced with just "<N> of 10 items", or "none" if <N> = 0 or "all" if <N> = 10 - sufficient & compact, and unlikely to change from manual backup to backup, so the user will see their usual (eg) "9" and know it's correct.
• I agree with @T-mo it would be nice to see more detail during the "processing" although I suspect most time is with processing tracks, so similar issue to Cloud Sync
• I agree on final "OK" button name

[Beta version 4.15.2.3]

@Tapio you are fast, I've published update maybe an hour ago
Thanks for the tests!

Pointer for tracks, hmm good idea. I'll think about it, thanks ...

---

So the new Beta version 4.15.2.3 was finally, published.
Enjoy the last version with the old address search

@Tapio
the layout of the bottom panel starting to be too complicated . I'll look at it, thanks

@luce
hmm, one more remaining issue with weather > forecast after 10 pm for "tomorrow" does not display full tomorrow day. So one more fix ...

@CabrioTourer
Thanks for the feedback!

1. issue: it is hidden because we can't inform users in the app published on Google Play about the option to purchase the app out of Google Play!! Simple, logical, and limiting ...

2. open the FAQ made over the Chrome tag. It may look like an internal app view, but it isn't, it is a virtual browser provided by the installed Chrome browser.

3. this issue is complicated. When you choose a Locus Map, it should display again the last app screen, that is in your case web page with the voucher purchase. It does not work like this? .... I'm testing it and it works correctly for me!

Hi, i've made a Screen Cap Video:

Ah, a selected poi, nice. thx

@luce
Improved sharing & generally better work with points & tracks at once ... this is something we started work on last year, also because of the new iOS version. Not sure if results will be available this year on Android, but for sure next year and it will be a really nice big change ... you will see 

@Mick FU
settings of paired sensors are already backed in the "Backup of settings". There is most probably the problem in restoration, that the app may not always correctly detect sensors under the old known "ID". So it is harder to solve.

@Tapio
long click to delete attachments does not work? Anyway, there is no way to exclude links automatically. You may edit GPX manually ...

@CabrioTourer
Navigation commands > should be hidden. If they aren't it usually means, that for some reason, the connection between the track and these waypoints breaks and they are no longer considered as navigation points, but ordinary waypoints. ... ah, seems you find this. The question is why and how this happened.
