I had several issues when starting the app after the update, I sent the reports but couldn't create a log since I'm on holiday..
I managed to "fix" it by  clearing app data..

The survey is done with pleasure :-) Thank you for caring so much for your users!

ah I found reports on Google Play thanks ...

but seems it's this problem http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9037 ... urned-null - problem with loading c++ library and no solution for this. Nice ... so I'll probably try new release with hope it will help

After some time, I would like to ask for more wide public testing. I would like to know opinion on changes that are now in Locus testing version. It's also good place for users that use "only" a Free version to test, till end of month, some features of Pro version!!

Important: mainly please use and check import/export feature. That's where I did most of work. Also is added support for NetworkLink and ScreenOverlays!!, but I don't have any good testing files, so if some files will not work, I will gladly test and fix it!

complete list of changes
----------------------------
- added ability to ignore generated descriptions for export
- now also export defined styles of tracks to KML
- added ability to export to KMZ files together with icons for points
- "integration" of Google Earth (ability to view track/point/points, together with icons and styles)
- improvements in GC Offlinizer (usage of Live API, notification)
- speed up a little handling with a lots of Field notes
- correct enabling/disabling animations by system settings
- on A3.0+, custom zoom buttons in WebView screens (Geocaching listing)

- improved ordering of items in dragable screens
- speed improvements in Point rendering (around 5% less CPU usage)
- huge improvements in KML import. Support for GroundOverlays with refreshable images from internet, ScreenOverlays, Network links!
- fixed some problems with export of KML (together with icons)
- completely recreated importing system, so now import options are also at categories (integrated import/export buttons into points/tracks screen), "Display only" button is later in screen with selection
- fixed problems with OpenAir format loading
- fixed problems with loading tracks from My Tracks
- some design improvements like smaller blue headers, better dialog handling during rotate etc.
- file browser now allow "Don't ask"

Just a feedback about the new missing data manager(the other new features I didn't use enough to build an opinion).
I like the new way better, access to data and other features by oneclick like in the new one is easier.

I did some geocaching today. Nothing seems to be broken

Import (from URL) works OK.

Fieldnotes seem to be faster (I don't have as many of them as before). But I couldn't find "batch logging"?

I played with the top menu buttons. 4 buttons seem a bit crowded in ZTE Blade. I chose the category list as one button. It opens the points category list, but it has toolbox icons at the right. Would it be possible to have a top menu button that opens the list with selection boxes at the right side?

In addition I discovered a lot of new (for me) stuff, like lock everything in portrait. Well done!

[Menion]

thanks guys and stebu for testing!

in list of possibilities are "Points" twice ... one new that lead to points screen and one old that's purpose was quick switching on/off of categories.

Hi menion,
I found a little bug (but I don´t know if it is in the 2.5.6 too):
I want to "save  actual part" of a paused track and give a name to the track, but Locus changes after typing each letter back to capitals.
It happens only here, the normal way after stopping the track is ok.

And another one:
Today I looked several times during a track on the display (2.5.6.3) and almost every time there was the last part (perhaps 15 min) of track not painted. The actual position was ok. Some times the missing part was repainted but not always.
This never occured before.

All right, found the "function" instead of the "screen"

But I haven't found batch logging of fieldnotes, yet?

[Menion]

try batch log field notes from Geocaching Live API as usually. There is new settings if you want send these field notes just as field notes or as a regular logs
