« Last post by bedee on June 07, 2019, 20:12:28 »

Today i used for the first time the maps from Andromaps, V4 ML OpenAndroMaps, normaly i use their V3 maps with no problems at all.
With the V4 maps my Android Honor 8 crashed several time. Now back to V3 maps.

Much better and runs smoother.

Problems with Openandromaps V4 maps and Locus Pro ?

Have now version 3.38.3

New Beta 3.38.3.2 just uploaded on Google Play

@Tom
I understand your precise description, unfortunately, I wasn't able to simulate this issue. Give please a try new Beta as well, because I made some improvements that may affect this as well.

@John Campbell
new account? It should be possible to change almost everything in the old one like email address etc. Anyway coastlines are not directly available in the app.

@balloni55
ah damn, thanks. Second try ...

@Andrew Heard
wakelock is expected in case of enabled GPS. Locus Map keeps wakelock active as long as GPS is needed.

@lor74cas:
this is in Croatia, where no high resolution .hgt are available yet. So those used by locus have a real resolution of just 60-90 meter and with additional interpolation it could be possible that up to 50-100m from the coast there are shadows within the sea of a map.

Understood, thank you. As I said before I do not worry too much about shadows.

Thanks for your reply.
Maybe next week I'm there  ... and if there is a waymark I'll try to add it in OSM.

But after some first steps today ... it's really not so easy.

I'm not using this option, so just an idea. In Locus you can choose in geocaching options to move the cache (icon) to the final location, if it is part of the cache.
Perhaps this could be worth to have a look at.

BetterBatteryStats or a similar tool should tell what is happening behind the scenes.
Comparing old and new Locus version on the same device, screen off is key, and maybe a "virgin" restarted device should make results comparable. And show a smoking gun ...

@michaelbechtold - thanks. I had used gsam Battery Monitor Pro, but BetterBatteryStats looks interesting, however after using Locus for 5 hours today, I can't interpret the TXT file that BetterBatteryStats creates. Please help. Where can I find the % battery used by Locus for example?

Maps / Need help converting overlay for use with Locus

« Last post by lostasock on June 06, 2019, 13:14:36 »

Hi, I'm looking for help to convert a map/overlay for use with Locus. I plan to overlay it over the NZ Topo map produced by LINZ. It's an overlay of the conservation areas in NZ.

It is available in a number of formats, which as far as I can tell don't natively work with Locus.

It is available on both sites below:
https://catalogue.data.govt.nz/dataset/doc-public-conservation-areas
https://koordinates.com/layer/754-doc-public-conservation-areas/

I've tried to find a way to convert it but haven't been successful. I'm traveling at the moment so really only have my phone. Could possibly remote into a computer if I had to, but it won't be so easy.

Can anyone covert it for me, or point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Add-ons / Geocaching4Locus does no longer show Corrected Coordinates

« Last post by JGeo on June 06, 2019, 13:00:12 »

It seems like  Geocaching4Locus does no longer show or download corrected coordinates for caches that I have given an updated location on GC.com 
The caches are drawn on the 'original' location on the map. There doesn't seem to be an option to select what location to show, nor an option to use or ignore corrected coordinates. I am a premium GC.com member, so all information should be available.
Is this a sort of bug, or did I do something wrong?
