What have you done with the chart values?

check other comments since 4.33.0.3 beta release - testing ideas for a new more readable chart

The old altitude was much smoother and the new slope chart looks totally different.

My read is that verified developers (and I bet Menion and company are) do not trigger such barriers. Fingers crossed.

Track chart, no zooming and not being able to center map

am guessing, beta, is only the 1st preview of new charts

Track chart, no zooming and not being able to center map on the selected track chart position is a big step back.
Speed/pace as separate charts allow to instantly spot pauses, good.
Sliding over speed/pace, line display in the upper charts is inconsistent.

Thanks for the update (Beta 4.33.0.3). 

The new chart overview for the tracks looks nice, but I'm now missing the second elevation chart where the x-axis can be zoomed (screenshot 1). That was very helpful, as the charts in the overview are very compressed for longer routes. Is that actually going to be removed permanently?

I totally agree. The zooming of the elevation chart is one of the major features I use on my long distance hikes ( >1000 kilometers) to plan my daily tours depending on the expected elevation. On the other hand I never used Steigung/Gefälle, Tempo or Pace on a hike. Please bring back the elevation zoom.

Version 4.33.0.3 (13.3.2026)
  - chg: new screen with track charts

oh wow - excellent - far more readable than previous single chart. I hope the next step will be zoom-ability & ability to return to map from tapped point on chart.

The slope chart could do with numbers on the vertical axis. It also needs vertical "expansion" - expand further to top & bottom of chart.
You cannot view this attachment.

When viewed in the track summary, any slope (green) is vertically compressed so much as to make almost meaningless.

(The small graphs for speed, pace, etc. show nothing but noise, at least on hikes. These should also be zoomable, screenshot 2).

Troubles & Questions / Re: Download lomaps

Last post by tannenzäpfle - March 20, 2026, 16:33:20

Hello Menion,
I am trying since sometime, I restarted my phone and tried on several devices without success.
With other APSS there are no problems with the Internet connection vi WLAN.
As I have enough data volume on my SIM-Card I tried it over mobile data download.  France North stopped after 1 GB of 2 GB and Germany South after 1 GB of 1 GB. I enclose a screen shot.

Is there a link for a direct download from a web side and then copying the files to the Locus Folder.
Additional Information, may be helpful, my map folder is in local storage/android/media...
Sometimes I receive a network error when trying to connect to the forum or Locus Map Help desk.
