Locus Map / Re: Re: [APP] - version 4.33.+...

Last post by Andrew Heard - Yesterday at 23:47:49

I can't find my original help (suggestion) topic, so I'll say thanks to the WebPlanner developer(s) here - I note with pleasure after displaying a track from MyLibrary and then clicking the Back <- button, the scroll position in the list is now correctly restored rather than scrolling back to top of the list - a big time saving when the list is long, Thanks so much!

@Blihi
share a problematic route with me over "Share by link". Thank you.

Sure. Here's one that cannot be opened in the app: https://link.locusmap.app/t/1s9v2t

This one does not open in the online planner either.

Troubles & Questions / Re: Map Providers in Locus 4?

Last post by buergi - Yesterday at 17:03:21

No, no "User maps" section. I tested it with Android 15. Also tried it on another older device with Android 10 and Locus 4.33.0.
There I have set the path to /sdcard/Locus/mapsOnline

In the custom subfolder of this folder I put, the providers.xml from the docs, as

Even after restarting Locus there is no "User maps"

Interesting.

You do not see any custom map in the Map manager > "Online" tab? Rather sort maps in this tab by "All maps" (at the top topbar) and now you should have all maps listed at the bottom with "User maps" header. Like on my screenshot.

@Menion.
This presentation offers Garmin Mapsource_Basecamp out of the box, without any extra hassle.
A very useful display for tracks calculated by routers and so a relatively low trkpt density.
Insert an extra trkpt (without recalculating) and visually confirm the exact location on the map.
Announce this trkpt at the exact desired location by promoting it than into a via_trktp.
Add trkpt type "via", plus (for Locus) sym "pass_place". Add a trkpt name is optional.
- A nice simple and usefull feature to show and offer in the web planner ?

@T-mo & @0709
eh, it already exists. Just uncheck all "Line", "Pattern" and "Outline" values in the track style.

Indeed, this hack works. See pic.
By the way, the trackpoints inherit color and size from the Line, so to change those enable Line again, change color and width, then save and save and edit and disable Line.
After change the track is still highlighted and you might not immediately see the change. Deselect your track.

If you restart LM, the trackpoints (of your track with disabled Line) change to black, small size and outline style, which is surprising and inconsistent. Edit and save brings the old state back (color of track and filled dot of size px-width)

Coooool     

New version with Android Auto is published and works great. 
I don't want to leave my car. 😁

I think Locus Map is one of the rare apps which are allowed to use Android Auto.👍

Hi menion, thanks for your answer. Yes I used the setting you mentioned. The path is set to

Code Select Expand

/storage/1234-5678/Android/media/menion.android.locus/mapsOnlineIn the folder I placed several xml providers I found. I also noticed that the one-click-installer from here https://github.com/mjk912/LocusMapTweak works and Locus puts the resources in this folder, nevertheless I can't find any of my custom maps in Locus Maps Manager. Where would I find them? Maybe it is also that all providers I found and tested have an invalid xml format or similar. Is there somewhere a reference provider I can test?

No problem. Stand alone gpx wpt or embedded trkpt in a trackrecord. No problem. See txt attachment.

Embedded ?
The gpx navigation track mode with instructions in trackpoints offers this "by default."
No more hassle with the "fragile" easily broken gpx waypoint associations based on timestamps.

It's not about associating waypoint with trackpoints. The timestamp is an information in itself: During a recording, I can add a waypoint, which marks that point in time as some kind of event. There don't need to be a trackpoint recorded at the same time.
Obviously, during track edit, that would be a major extra dialog to add a timestamp to a trackpoint (or waypoint, for that matter), so as an approximation, when selecting a trackpoint, it should be possible to set a waypoint at the same location and with the same timestamp. Which should also be kept if the trackpoint were to be removed. Totally independent.

I'm not saying your idea is bad or useless, but I can see how this would be a bigger change for Locus. Waypoints otoh already exist and can be created during recording with timestamp. I'd just like a way to create those I forgot during recording, but still with timestamp.
