Everything is working fine for me with the new version. I'm not experiencing any of the reported crashes.

Maps / Best way to manage and switch ...

Last post by williamcorlin - Today at 11:04:56

Hi everyone, I'm new to Locus Map and had a question about maps.

Is there a recommended way to combine multiple offline map sources (like LoMaps + custom satellite tiles) and switch between them smoothly while navigating?

Also wondering if there's a best practice for managing storage when using large offline maps for multi-day trips.

release 4.33-1209 - I tried to crash it with route planner & other reported methods, but all good so far. I find the slope chart nearly useless as not filling vertical space, and any "height glitch" results in +/-200% range, and flat line  for example. a vertical zoom will workaround that. The speed chart y axis has unnecessary 1 decimal point, eg 40.0. The pace chart y axis is worse with 2 decimal points, eg 200:00. without a very good eyesight it looks like 20000. I opened the charts with a 1200km recorded track and it was quick to load - very good. Until now I have screen off while cycling/track recording, but last few days with screen on, smooth motion, walking & driving, it's just really silly smoothly bumbling around. Even without the stationary 180 rotate it's not very useful while moving.

Version 1209 (4.33.0):

I can't open any tracks from the library: Locus crashes and restarts.

Same. DO NOT UPDATE, GUYS. Log needed?

I think this one is new:

Code Select Expand

17:46:16.159 E a uncaughtException(Thread[main,5,main])
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The x-values are too precise. The maximum precision is four decimal places.

Hi Menion,

Thanks for the great work - regarding charts: I noticed, that the Dashboard-Charts are now smaller (and the axes are labeled). I'd prefer bigger chats with no labels to fill fully fill the spot in the dashboard.

Would it be possible to make this configurable.

Version 1209 (4.33.0):

I can't open any tracks from the library: Locus crashes and restarts.
When I click on a track visible on the map: Locus crashes and restarts.

New routes using the route planner: the app also crashes when you click on the new route.
Unfortunately, the app isn't really usable in its current state.

After every restart, all tracks are hidden...

Hi guys,
thanks for the nice feedback!

I've made a bunch of updates over the last few days, and the result is my new attempt to push the version through the Google Play review team. Version 1209 is available in the "Release Google Drive" directory.

Important info: currently, it is not possible to support the zooming or a map+chart layout on the main map screen.  I'm with my colleague working on the new system for the track detail, and once it is ready, these changes may also be done. Anyway, the screen with track charts is completely new and ready to do everything we imagine  . So zoom is there, better scroll as well etc etc.

@Andrew Heard
obstacles for Beta testing > not in our case I believe. We will remain a "verified developer".

@Gerhard57
smoother charts > this is also question to others. Currently, there is no filtration of chart values. Should I invest some time in it and try to apply a little more clever solution that will preserve the shape and cut the biggest peaks? For all chart types? I'm open to discussion ...

@WildWortWechsel
missing markers > interesting. I'm unable to simulate it. Will be watching it ...

@Graf Geo
complex reminder, thanks 

- chart+map > info above
- zoomable > enabled in "Track charts" screen
- improvements in the gallery + deduplication > also later

Troubles & Questions / Re: The map rotates 180° when ...

Last post by Andrew Heard - March 24, 2026, 22:26:59

I was nearly going to write my own suggestion for this. it's really annoying. was driving yesterday in heavy traffic. each time we stopped, my navigator not a LM user, was getting upset that the map was rotating. I had an idea a long time ago, but never shared, when stopped Locus could temporarily "lock" the current GPS direction until movement recommenced. This frustration was compounded by 4 crashes. I did a report via LM this time. Nice feature. Thanks for the workaround suggestions.

I'd actually forgotten something: 

On the charts, you can choose between distance or time on the x-axis.

Whilst the distance axis is always logically divided into round kilometre increments (e.g. 5–10–15 km or 50–100 km), the time axis always displays non-round increments (e.g. 1:40 hr, 3:20 hr, 5... hr or 8:20 hr, 16:40 hr, 25.00 hr). Sometimes the last value is also truncated, see screenshot.

I know that, ultimately, a round 100 minutes is shown as the non-round 1:40, but since you usually count in hours on longer trips, I find this unnecessarily inconvenient for a quick estimate. Full hours would be better (2 hr, 4 hr, 6 hr, etc.)
