Can someone please tell me when I import a route (track) into Locus web planner whether the track point elevations <ele> are maintained? I have just downloaded Sonny DTM France 1asec v3 HGT files (2.4GB!!) in order to improve the slope accuracy of some planned routes.

Hello,
+1
If the web planner had the best altitude data (Sonny's data), we would have solved half the problem already, this has already been requested in the past.
Also when importing a gpx you should be able to choose whether to keep the original elevation data or apply the planner's data.

<trkpt lat="-42.8609208" lon="147.2951480">
<ele>36.86</ele>
<time>2023-12-31T23:04:44.000Z</time>
</trkpt>

At one section, in LM4 the slope is 7% whereas the web planner is showing stupid 31%.

Extra question: is it possible yet to keep each HGT file within a ZIP file? I know it has been discussed & I did a search but could find no answer. I could test myself, but it's pretty slow. I suspect not possible.

Dobrý den, je nějaký důvod proč online mapy vypadají jinak jak zakoupená offline verze?
Například vrstevnice, 10 vs 20 výškových metrů.
Výraznější označení chodníků, vykreslení budov ...

Add-ons & Co-apps / Re: External (elevation chart)...

Hi again,

...
PS: ... It's just a tiny and lightweight GPS Viewer app, that is doing it's job.

Feedback is welcome.

There was some constructive feedback via email and Menion gave me good tips on how to link to Locus Map without cached files (direct transfers via Locus API Track object).

There will be a small update at the end of the week. Transfers from the Locus Track Manager share menu will then perform really very fast and smoothly and some minor issues will be fixed.

I will test it for a few more days, but I think it has turned out really well.

I would be happy if the app in its current form is of use to one or another user. Maybe I will add a few more new features in the winter.

PS: The Locus API is awesome, there are many new ideas in my head

@Graf Geo - thanks. I have all 3 Route Warnings off, but I still get Warning icons in the saved track. And as explained to @0709 if I tap any POI in the Route Planner, I also get those POI(s) in the list of Waypoints.

Hello @Andrew Heard, settings in LM4. Item is called "Route warnings":

Waypoints: Don't select or use discrete wpt icons. (Garmin waypoint)

@0709 thanks - start/ end wpt icon is the accommodation at the start/ end - it is convenient to tap on start > tap on  end > then check what route has been calculated

Warnings: Menu > settings > points & tracks > alerts for route > (un)set.

"alerts for route" - no such menu - do you mean LM3? not in  LM4

BTW I have Menu > settings > points & tracks > Show nav. command on map > unset

Troubles & Questions / Reverse to previous map ver. o...

Last post by Pol - September 16, 2024, 19:20:32

Hey all. Is there a way to reverse to a previous map version? Or maybe yet, some way to fix incorect trail marker/s? The latest version installed seems to have inaccurately changed the main trail marker symbol on a popular route with another that doesn't represent the reasoning behind it.

Troubles & Questions / Re: Android version full-fledg...

Last post by arnor - September 16, 2024, 18:33:35

Unfortunately, I have not been able to respond to the comments for a while due to illness. I suspect that I should explain better what I meant with my comment.

I came across the message announcing the iPhone version. It was made clear that long-term development is needed to a level comparable to the Android version. In itself a nice message for iPhone owners and of course my compliments to the development team for that.

However, I remember a message from some time ago regarding a possible adjustment. Menion wrote that this solution would not be implemented because it could not be implemented within IOS due to security requirements within IOS. If I remember correctly, it was about improving search methods. Using an API from Google was then stopped.

When solutions are possible within Android but are rejected because they cannot be done in IOS, I can only translate that as an expected decline in the level of the Android version. I fear that many more things will not work in IOS in the near future, given Apple's policy. Will that mean that Android will be downgraded? "Nice solutions that we came up with, but it doesn't work within iOS".
That's why I ask whether the Android version is (and especially remains) so full-fledged.
