Troubles & Questions / Import many GPS files at once
Last post by Reinhard53 - December 13, 2024, 08:28:31
I have 35 GPS files that I want to import into My Library. It seems that I can only import them one at a time. Is there a way to import them all in one go?

My 1st experience with 4.27.1_1154 and AA was quite short. I saw the screen but wanted to use my phone for routeplanning and then navigation, sadly I started with one of my presets with rotating screen. I wanted to switch but the whole device went crazy, also see photo. Then I wanted to pull down android top bar at phone to access settings which was not possible, only dropped down a blank black area, several times.
Due to limited time I drew the connection cable, stopped Locus and continued with Gmaps.
Don't know if _1158 provides improvements.
Next tests @weekend.

P.S. the used profile includes screen on/off control, maybe that's a possible reason? :D

Troubles & Questions / Inconsistencies when searching...
Last post by Graf Geo - December 12, 2024, 20:56:02
With today's update 4.27.1_1158 the search in points works again. Very nice.

However, the search in tracks and points only works correctly and reliable when "search also in descriptions" is deactivated. I can search for strings of any length, including individual characters.

If "search also in descriptions" is active, there are problems and incorrect results. Numerous points or tracks are repeatedly found that do not contain the search string at all, neither in the title nor in any existing descriptions. Even those that do not contain any descriptions at all.
There also seems to be a character limit here: For search strings with at least 4 characters it works correctly more often, but with 3 or fewer characters there are usually many false results. But it is not always clearly reproducible. In any case, the search with "search also in descriptions" is often incorrect.

Quote from: MenionWhy the change? I'm using only dark mode, so I've not noticed before (or just ignored it). Previously, the rotating button itself had a white background. As the only active icon on this screen. So definitely a bug. If you have an idea for a better icon, it is welcome.
@Menion - "the rotating button itself had a white background" - correct, and for me more visible. The new compass on dark background fades into the background, especially if sunny, and depending on surrounding map content. (I think there is a later APK beta version but not currently on the download site)

A montage of old (top)/ new (bottom) compass. The old compass is always more visible:-

And with the screen as it actually looks to me under direct sunny conditions (100% brightness 1,000nit AMOLED):-

and when screen moved a little further into the shade - always a struggle when cycling:-

Hallo @Locita,

Quote from: Locita on October 21, 2024, 11:21:44Gibt es nach wie vor keinen Weg, BRouter wieder IN Locus (Locus 3/classic) zu nutzen?

Kann dort den BRouter weiterhin nicht auswählen.

bin zufällig auf Deine Frage gestoßen und wundere mich dass Dir niemand geantwortet hat. Ich nutze auch  Locus 3/classic und habe kein Problem mit dem BRouter Vers. 1.7.7. Vielleicht hilft Dir eine Neuinstallation des BRouters.

Grrr Google ...

Version 4.27.1 (1157) was published on Google Play (25% for today) and verified by the Google team. But without Android Auto support. They refused maybe 5 versions and were unable to tell me precisely what is the problem, stupid ...

@freischneider
- description > added for "Full style", thanks
- folders > you do not like icons with the number of sub-folders? I have to use this style for some time to confirm if it really complicates & clutter UI.

@Graf Geo
- search in "Choose folder" > interesting idea. I've added it to "MyLib to-consider-list"

Thanks @Tapio and sorry for the crashes. Google Play is still blocking our new update and meanwhile, I'm fixing some problems ... eh, stupid situation.

Are you willing to wait till tomorrow? No matter what the result of the Google team review will be, I'll generate the next 4.27.2 version (base + MyLibV2).

Troubles & Questions / Re: Automatically convert trac...
Last post by Wole - December 09, 2024, 08:19:29
I have now automatically converted and saved some tracks, just for testing.

If I load this track (route) now, practically nothing is visible on the map.

You can only make out the points with a bit of imagination. However, this track (route) is completely unsuitable for following by sight.

Thanks for your advice, 0709. I see more disadvantages than advantages.
