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

Hello Menion,

As there are quite a few requests and minor issues regarding the stylish new charts and other updates, I'd like to summarise them briefly:

• The elevation chart and track should both be visible on the screen. When using the track gallery and/or with multi-line track titles, this isn't currently possible at all. This severely limits the usefulness of the charts. The position marker with the info in the graph obscures parts of the curves and cannot be hidden. See screenshot.
• Furthermore, it is essential that the graphs are zoomable.
• Ideally, the track info panel should be configurable (I know you wrote that this is planned – hopefully soon). 
• As has been noted before: the track gallery should be able to be shown or hidden via a toggle. At the moment, you have to go through the hassle of going into the settings first.
• Track gallery: there are many reasons for saving the same photos in different folders. This means they appear multiple times in the track gallery. Therefore, there should either be an option to ignore folders or automatic detection of duplicates, so that no images are displayed multiple times.

Please don't forget:

• When I click on a track point in the track, its date and time should be displayed immediately. At the moment, this is also quite a faff.
• Geotagged photos should be excluded from POI alerts.

Have I forgotten anything else? 

BTW: Even though I'm always pointing out issues and making requests, I'd also like to emphasise that the app is developing brilliantly and getting better all the time!

Hallo, ich habe auch das Samsung S24 und seit der Umstellung auf Android 16 gibt es immer wieder Unterbrechungen bei der Track Aufzeichnung. Gibt es hierfür schon eine Lösung ? Hat jemand einen Tipp oder Hinweis was man tun kann. Danke für Eure Hilfe. Peter
Wenn ich in der Satelliten Anzeige GPS Deaktiviere und dann gleich wieder aktiviere, dann springt das Tracking wieder auf die aktuelle Position und zeichnet weiter auf. Dann allerdings auch nicht durchgängig , und ich habe bis dato noch kein Muster finden können, wann die Aufzeichnung stoppt .

4.33.0.3
Android 14

I guess, the distance markers of the actual hiking route (red) are gone. I'm just on km 1.8 on a trainings hike (violett) and there is no marking. The setting should be fine.

1. Edit: After 3 Kilometers the markers appears.

2. Edit: since Kilometer 4 the markers are gone again.

3. Edit: During the hike I realized that sometimes only the last distance marker was missing. But I did not always checked it. See last picture: red 3 is there, 4 is missing.

What have you done with the chart values?

check other comments since 4.33.0.3 beta release #52 - I'm guessing/ hoping testing ideas for a new more readable chart; more functionality to come/ be restored

What have you done with the chart values?
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.
