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.

@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 ...

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

@Graf Geo
complex reminder, thanks  :)

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

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.

Achtung, habe gerade gelesen, dass 'Wipe Cache Partition' seit dem Februar-Update wohl nicht mehr geht:

I'd actually forgotten something:  8)

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.)

I gave it a go and yes, now the map keeps pointing straight ahead when I stop. 🙂

Of course, that means you have to put up with the slightly jerky map movement again; it was nicer with the "smooth" setting. Oh well, maybe both options will be available at some point.

Das ist normal (und hat keine Konsequenzen), da in der deutschen de.tts Datei so hinterlegt.
Die kannst du mit einem Texteditor selbst anpassen und "Zielführung" durch z. B. "Navigation" ersetzen. Habe ich irgendwann mal gemacht, auch wenn ich das nicht so schlimm fand.

Danke das du an dem Thema dran bleibst.
Meine Hoffnung auf ein Fix von Samsung ist eher gering.

War am Sonntag wieder in Sachen Geocaching unterwegs.
Der Weg führte über Feldwege, frei Sicht und nur Feldlage bzw. Äcker und trotzdem gab es einen Hänger.
GPS deaktivieren -> aktivieren und dann lief es wieder.
Ist aber nichts neues

Der Link Nr.1 ist interessant.
Werde mal versuchen es umzusetzten.

Danke fürs teilen der Infos
