Locus Map / Re: [APP] - version 4.25.+ ( 8...

Last post by Menion - September 13, 2024, 16:02:46

Hi guys,

new Beta version 4.25.1.4 before the weekend.

4.25.1.4
  - chg: major! update of various libraries and whole build system and tools. Anything un-usual is a bug
  - add: (SILVER) remaining up and down elevation during the navigation to dashboard
  - add: support for "Array" option for BRouter external profiles
  - chg: improved color for background and popup menus in the dark mode
  - chg: load/unload app data now available on A10 as well
  - fix: (SILVER) reconnection of BT devices when BT was disabled in the system
  - fix: correct hiding of street bar during navigation when route does not have street info
  - fix: refresh of the list of map/nav cursors and it's deleting
  - fix: (SILVER) restore of top panel when restoring app and dashboard is active

Two important notes:

Firstly, there is a HUGE number of changed libraries (mainly some base Google libs) in the background together with an updated minimal Android version (RIP Android 5, now min. Android 6) and more ... hope, it won't cause any problems anyway I'll leave previous 4.24.1.3 available, just for sure (for downgrade is not needed un-install, all have identical 1142 version code).

Second, as I see, the new version of APK is a lot bigger. I do not know why yet, but it is some side-effect of changes in step 1. Anyway, I believe it won't cause any problems.

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

Last post by WRPSoft - September 13, 2024, 15:59:45

Thank you. There was an instant itch to a) zoom the 3D view via pinching and b) make the 2D/3D view fullscreen. If there was a quick toggle between diagram and map, that could be helpful.

Unfortunately, the 3D calculations are quite computationally intensive so that the pre-calculated 3D graphics can be rotated and tilted relatively efficiently in the next step.

The 3D chart also has to be projected onto a square surface, because otherwise the whole calculation would be too complex and, depending on the track dimensions, too much area would remain unused if the projection surface was not square.

I go into this in more detail in the FAQ, which is unfortunately currently only available in German: https://wrpsoft.blogspot.com/2024/04/faq-zu-wrpelevationchart.html

The app is also currently very much geared towards smartphones. If you switch the smartphone from portrait to landscape mode, the 3D graphics are switched to 'full graphics mode'. But as I said, you don't gain much from this due to the limited square projection surface.

Zooming in 2D mode is also implemented in a somewhat unconventional way, partly for performance reasons, but primarily because I can select the zoom areas most precisely with the current approach. I haven't managed to do this very well with the pinching zoom normally used for zooming in Android.

Maybe I'll try it again, but I think I'll exclude the 3D graphics from it because it would be really difficult to implement. The 3D Chart is more a gimmick, but could be sometimes very usefull for a better overview.

But you should never say never, it could well be that I will change everything again a bit (winter time is coming soon) :-)

Themes - Vector maps / Mapy.cz theme - where to find?

Last post by Forsberg - September 13, 2024, 15:38:15

I think mapy.cz use great theme maps. Their look is clean, easy to understand and just neat. Is there any theme based on the look of mapy.cz?
Unfortunately locus does not allow them as online provider so I thought about giving such look for vector maps?

To be clear I mean a "touristic" theme.

Add-ons & Co-apps / Re: Brouter route quality

Last post by Forsberg - September 13, 2024, 15:34:05

Hi,
this is quite a complicated question that depends not just on the profile, but also on your preferences in certain situations.

In the case of BRouter available in the Locus Classic, you have to experiment or ask on the BRouter forum.

I may suggest trying some online routers, like the official BRouter web planner or our own planner that uses identical profiles as Locus Map 4. It may help to easier find ideal routing profiles for your tours.

Thanks, is it limitation of LM Classic or Brouter that it shows only 1 route and no alternative ones? I've read some Brouter docs and it says there should be alternative ones as well.

I will use Brouter online again for test purposes, wish there was some GUI instead of writing the code of which not everything is covered by docs anyway afaik

Two little things

1) Map manager
For the Czech Republic
three dots - opens Details, Center map, Backup, Delete
For Spain - Canary Islands (submap)
there is no last option - Delete

2) Cache with many waypoints, e.g. I 💙 Beskydy, GC9M4JY has 61 waypoints.
I will show cache info. I see:
Waypoints 0/6 > (no waypoints selected), should be 0>61
Waypoints 61/ > (all waypoints are selected), should be 61>61

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

Last post by WRPSoft - September 13, 2024, 10:01:00

Hi to all,

After Menion pointed out to me here in the forum that apps can be linked very well with the Locus Map track manager via the Locus API, I modfied my app called WRPElevationChart accordingly.
The result is that the app can be called up directly from the share menu in the Locus Map track view.

WRPElevationChart is a really lightweight GPS viewer app that focuses on linking the 2D/3D-elevation profile with the track view at the map. The analysis functionality is deliberately kept to a minimum, but the app is ideal for quickly overviewing the track data. For me, it is a good addition to the Locus Map track view because the elevation profile can be scaled very well via gestures.

Perhaps it will be useful for one or two Locus Map users.

Note:

The app calculates the statistical data (ascent and descent, speed average, etc.) independently. Therefore, there will always be deviations from the values calculated in Locus Map. Calculating ascent and descent is a science in itself, and it has given every developer a few grey hairs :-)

However, there will be a small update in the next two weeks where you can fine-tune these calculations a little more and optionally choose whether the track should be transferred in FIT or GPX format (both formats have their advantages and disadvantages, especially on smartphones with weaker performance, generating and parsing the FIT files can take a few milliseconds longer compared to GPX files :-)).

Anyway, if you want to test the app, here is the link. I hope this post is okay for the Locus Map team.

Some use cases: https://wrpsoft.blogspot.com/2022/07/what-can-you-do-with-wrpelevationchart.html

If you have any problems, please let me know, so I can take them into account in the next update (coming soon).

PS: This app is a side-project, I need for support purposes. Therefore it's free (also add-free) and will be free in the future. And of course, no trackers are embedded! It's just a tiny and lightweight GPS Viewer app, that is doing it's job.

Feedback is welcome.

Regards Ralph
