Troubles & Questions / change the color of all tracks...

Last post by jonathan2007 - Yesterday at 18:49:42

E' possibile con 1 sola operazione cambiare colore a tutte le tracce memorizzate?

Translated by Google:
Is it possible to change the color of all stored tracks in one operation?

@Mick FU
Check these docs please. It should help with the customisation of navigation texts.

Thanks, but I already got the idea about tts, but I would like to customize gpx export and not tts speech instructions. 😉
I opened same question on helpdesk.

- recorded track. I found the issue. I choosed Re-route, planner opens and the correct profile was preselected. I checked, preselection was fine, nothing to do. As there is no re-calculate all any more in burger-style-menu, I thought job done, save as new track.
But a closer look tells you, all track-parts are with pencil-symbol, not bike-symbol, and probably not recalculated at all. You have to actively trigger recalculation, which can easily done by selecting the already selected profile. Dont trust your eyes or logic. Honestly that's easy to miss.
- why do you want to overwrite a recorded track with an artificial one? Re-route means re-use to me, but not re-write. I guess in 90% of use-cases it will be meant to be used as starting-point without the intention to get loose of recorded data. Maybe you have same start and end and want to have a training-, sightseeing- or explorer-variation or you want to drive patially similar with extensions or whatever. From my point of view.. Question is, if everyone assumes at dialog 'Save track' means overwriting your once recorded track.

[CZ&SK] - diskuze o Locusu / Re: Geocaching zobrazeni onlin...

Last post by Tentme40 - October 16, 2025, 16:03:43

Zdravím. Šlo by nějak do programu přidat funkcí zobrazení cacheru hry geocaching kteří jsou zrovna online a hledají kešky? Tento prográmek to umí <!-- m -->https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... FjaGluZyJd<!-- m --> jenže já používám Locus <!-- s:) --><!-- s:) -->. Prostě bych se koukal na mapu s keškama a na této mapě by se také zobrazovaly pozice cacheru kteří se zrovna taky věnují hledání kešek. Samozdřejmosti by bylo povolení a zakázání této funkce. Mimochodem, když zrovna nehraju geocaching, občas se bavím jinak — třeba na https://mostbet.co.cz/promo/bonus/, kde si člověk může odpočinout po dlouhém dni a zkusit štěstí v několika online hrách. Ale jinak ten nápad s online zobrazením hráčů v Locusu zní fakt dobře, mohlo by to hře přidat nový rozměr.

To by byla fakt zajímavá funkce! 👀
Už jsem o něčem podobném přemýšlel — v reálném čase vidět ostatní hráče při lovu by mohlo geocachingu dodat úplně nový rozměr. Na druhou stranu by to chtělo ošetřit otázku soukromí, aby každý mohl sám rozhodnout, jestli chce být ,,viditelný" na mapě.

Locus by podle mě mohl takovou funkci zvládnout, pokud by existovalo rozhraní API od geocaching.com nebo jiného systému, který by poskytoval aktuální polohu přihlášených hráčů. Možná by šlo začít jen s experimentálním rozšířením pro skupinu přátel, kteří se navzájem sledují během výprav.

Každopádně nápad je super — kombinace mapy, kešek a živého pohybu hráčů by mohla být dost návyková.

Last post by kacnje - October 16, 2025, 13:41:25

Well, I'm only a few kilometers from the covered area. On my old phone, I can see the map if I move there.
On my new phone, I can see two errors:
- Map of this area is not available
- Unknown problem (I didn't see that yesterday, probably I was in the covered area).

I attached screenshots from both phones.

Troubles & Questions / Re: google drive backups

Last post by Menion - October 16, 2025, 12:43:26

Hello,

exactly as you wrote > backup is doable with "drive.files" scope, other functionality isn't.

We received this "App is blocked" status a few days before we were publishing a new app version, so this was the fastest solution. If we add Google Drive for backup in the future? I'm not sure for now.

More of you write about the problem with language. It seems that the problem is only on "older" devices with Android 13-. I made a small modification that hopefully will help here.

Hmm, one more check .. you wrote you see "Map of this area is not available". As I see in the app code, you should see "Access denied" if the app won't be to load map tiles from the map. So it looks like you are really in the area where the map does not have coverage. Please double-check this as well, thanks.

Thank you.
I'm sure that both conditions are met.
1. I have just checked again, and there are both files (.info and .sqlitedb). Beside them, one more file appeared (.sqlitedb-journal).
2. I'm logged in with the same username as years ago. It is my only password for Locus map stored in a password manager, and I can log in on my new phone.
