Locus Map / Re: Re: [APP] - version 4.32.+...

Last post by T-mo - Yesterday at 22:39:14

Updating a bunch of libraries is often a challenge.
I do recognise your ongoing love, so there is love and world a good place

I launched LM Afa 4.32.0.3_1198 alpha and clicked a bit here and there and all was fine.
I realised that RoutePlanner has issues with offline-router LoRouter Offline, see pic.
Track-segment results in error-notification and a direct line with draw-manually pencil-icon, maybe due to missing calculation-result.
I updated routing-segments, tested tts in settings, chosed different profiles, didn't help.
Online-routing is working, all fine.

I know, huge list, but ... I'm not satisfied with it  . Too many tasks affecting the structure and "invisible" stuff ... simply a maintenance of the old project. Never mind, 2026 has to be better 

And you need just "update". Both have identical code 1198, so there is no need to un-install!

@menion - if problem with MapGooglePlay_4.32.0.3_1198_beta.apk, do I just "install" MapGooglePlay_4.32.0_1198_release.apk, or need to "uninstall" first?

I looked at what we did in Android this year > not much

huge # changes in release notes!!!

That does seem to be the way to go. See Emux's post: https://github.com/mapsforge/mapsforge/discussions/1698#discussioncomment-13332663
If I might suggest and if it is possible:
1. Duplicate the protected_area with a different key, lm_protected_area (say) to replace protected_area and inherit its value.
2. Remove all other keys from protected_area, do force_polygon=line and add a new attribute fpl=fpl_yes. This will be used for drawing the perimeter with no changes needed in themes. Third party themes can choose to fill this area in (eg) OAM maps but not in LoMaps by testing for fpl=~. If a theme is left unchanged the display is no worse than currently.
3. You need do nothing further with lm_protected_area. Forests etc will display correctly with no changes in the themes. Third party themes can use this key to fill protected areas in LoMaps if they wish. Again, if the theme is unchanged the display is no worse than currently.

Exactly, and we can't fill forest areas that are also designated as protected areas. The best solution might be duplicating the protected areas under a different key, such as ls_boundary=protected_areas, but that would invalidate all existing themes. Difficult decision...

Hi guys,

it is weird December. Not just the weather in the czech is terrible, but also again and again some technical complications ... I looked at what we did in Android this year > not much  . Many technological puzzles on the background, many unexpected requirements from Google itself (most of them make sense) and so on ...

This time, I had to change a very old system I used for app protection (10+ years) to a different one. This means that again, the whole app is not as stable as before.

I did a lot of manual testing during the last 14 days. But still not feeling 100% confident saying > all works perfectly. I believe it is, but still ...

New Beta version 4.32.0.3 on the Google Drive.
This time in the directory "alpha"! Use at your own risk and keep the previous 4.32.0 APK on the device, just for sure.

In LoMaps is the protected area  processed with force-polygon-line="true"

Which also means that I can't reliably use a fill for protected areas. Some protected areas apparently remain closed however.

Ah, I hadn't noticed your last post and went ahead editing my post from yesterday
Problem is caused because of combination natural=wood and boundary=protected_area. In LoMaps is the protected area  processed with force-polygon-line="true" (to correctly display the dashed green border). For this reason is polygon represented as line or several lines in the map file and isn't closed.

I generated a completely new England map using the latest official Mapsforge writer and reviewed the reported issues.

I can't tell from your screenshot of Summer Leys whether the issue is now resolved. The perimeter line appeared fine before (and still does) but I couldn't do a correct fill with my theme as the area wasn't actually closed. I don't think the internal themes do any kind of fill on nature reserves, so your screenshot doesn't help.
The problem with Everdon Stubbs is more complicated. Not only is the area not closed, but the natural=wood attribute seems to have been lost. It won't even do an incorrect fill of the wood (though it will do an incorrect fill of the protected area). I'm not sure what attribute you are filling in your screenshot. Also, looking at the OSM data, the first node is the same as the last one, which I assume means that this is a closed area.
