Troubles & Questions / Re: Temperature sensor

« Last post by Andrew Heard on August 13, 2022, 00:34:54 »

The best I could find was an import from UK (1/2 way around the world) https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/165482045478 although no LCD - different model. Risk?

Add-ons / Re: Locus Map for Garmin

« Last post by veloc on August 12, 2022, 21:16:44 »

As you recommended I have downgraded Garmin connect to version 4.19. Still I can't use the Garmin's vivoactive 3 GPS (tried to connect Locus maps via "Bluetooth GPS/GPS device", but the Garmin gps device is not found.
Any hints?
Edit: Locus map classic 3.62.0; Locus Map for Garmin premium: device status connected [connection is stable]

Troubles & Questions / Presettings for maps (link specific overlay, shadow, theme to each map)

« Last post by Denny on August 12, 2022, 11:35:42 »

Hello community and developers, I spent many hours searching forum or tweaking the app without success.
I use locus map Classic, and I have to switch often between 2 maps: Offline OpenAndroMaps with shading and satellite online map with an overlay of the same OpenAndroMaps with removed background and no shading.
The result of this switch is changing the background of the OAM with satellite image. When hiking this is very useful to look at terrain type and references: rocks, woods, meadow, buildings and so on.
I found myself switching dozens of times to check satellite background and then back to OAM to have a more clear view of paths. This changing process is very slow, impling switching maps, then activate overlay, then removing background of OAM and turning shading off. A lot of taps and time.
Presets will be the solution but I can't set map or overlay inside them. Is there any solution to make this map change less cumbersome? Is there some set to link an overlay to a map?
Many thanks to all

Navigation & Guidance / Re: Lorouter offline - Profile for 4x4 off-road with suggestion how to do it

another locked reference:
https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/brouter-car-mode-truly-hates-unpaved-roads

Openandromaps shows roads suitable for 4x4 Overlanding better than OpenStreetMap. The distinguishing symbols are pretty similar. The straight solid line is macadam (gravel) paths through meadows and forests. Dashed lines are paths suitable only for forest machines because the vegetation encroaches on the path.  Is it possible to set in the .brf files which path types should be considered in the calculation?
Global differences could perhaps be resolved precisely on the ability of the user to choose a priority type of road.

Troubles & Questions / Re: Temperature sensor

Hello Menion, hello Andrew,

I have now received a reply from the supplier. Shipping costs of $35 are due for delivery to Germany. The sensor is therefore still very expensive.

When googling I got u. a. found the following sensor: "Brifit Thermometer Hygrometer". This sensor looks exactly like the WS 07.

At Amazon, this sensor costs only €13.59. I will test it once to check whether both sensors are really identical. Maybe I'll turn to you again with a question.

I just see that the back of the sensor also says WS07 (see picture). So it does appear to be the same sensor.

Troubles & Questions / Re: Locus API quick_bookmark function doesn't work.

« Last post by tapio on August 11, 2022, 21:10:28 »

Report it as a bug? I think it's broken. Tried it on Tasker (tasks: { quick_bookmark : { action: "start", name: "Google" } }) - here the green toast does not even appear, nothing happens at all. Other stuff like setting profiles works.

Troubles & Questions / Locus API quick_bookmark function doesn't work.

« Last post by opepryk on August 11, 2022, 14:49:06 »

Hi. I have a problem with a API action task quick_bookmark. Function is supposed to put down a quick_bookmark and it takes a name of a preset bookmark as a parameter. https://github.com/asamm/locus-api/wiki/Action-tasks-(Broadcasts)#quick_bookmark

I made a Automate (app similar to Tasker) script to place a bookmark on key press. However in Locus there is an error saying that the bookmark is not found. As you can see from screenshots bookmark "qwerty" clearly exists.

Is this a bug or am I understanding this feature incorrectly? I tinkered with other API functions and they work fine in Automate.

Locus version 4.11.0 on Android 11.

V backup manageru to chtělo skrze google potvrdit, že můžete upravovat všechny moje soubory. Záloha nyní proběhla, ale do cloudu se uložil jen prázdný dočasný soubor 2022-08-10_00-07-52_Locus_Map.temp.
Předpokládám, že to může být způsobeno tím, že nějakou dobu ta záloha visela ve frontě v Locusu. Další záloha do googlu nejde vyvolat, tak jsem nastavil denní zálohu a dám vědět zítra.
