New vector maps for Locus - feedback

[voldapet]

I guess that map and poi DB were downloaded correctly, am I right? It seems that there is something wrong with downloading of elevation *hgt files. Menion we'll check it

There are some problems with lower tiles. P.e.look at Northrhine Westphalia map in zoom level 11 or lower.

Am I the only one who is experiencing super slow loading times with the latest map of Germany from the locus store? All other vector maps (freizeitkarte, open andro maps) work fine and load a lot faster. I am using the same theme (locus hiking theme).

[Christian]

No. Me too

[Menion]

are we talking about map from Locus Store 2014.11.10, latest Locus 3.5.2 and any internal theme?

@jusc @menion
Yes. There is really issue with missing tiles. Have you remember the very old issue that some metatiles contains so much data that wasn't generated properly? I guess that this is the issue. I've tried to generate Northrhine-Westfalia again with different setting of zoom-levels but without success

i found also missing tiles, see video

[Menion]

thanks balloni, it's same issue in all cases. We have increased size of tiles in new vector maps to 512x512 and seems they are in rare cases, too big to fit to available memory. I've increased memory limit on 4.0+ devices, so it will work for them in next version. 2.x devices, there is unfortunately no simple solution for now.

sometimes i get no screen for "center new loaded map", see video map change "Badenwurttemberg /Bayern"
Mapcenter stay in Badenwurttemberg and no map is visible

@balloni55
would you please check the GPS coordinates where are you centered? I mean... are you somewhere inside the Bayern? Anyway I guess that it'll same issue as mentioned missing tiles?

[balloni55]

Hi Peter,

check the GPS coordinates where are you centered?

as you can see in video, my grouped POI´s of Badenwürttemberg are displayed furthermore on white map, so display is centered to Badenwürttemberg. If i scroll east, or zoom out i see loaded map of Bayern

[Menion]

I think this will be little bit different problem. Probably caused by incorrect check of bounding boxes of vector maps. Not so easy to fix now. I needs from Peter to update some special metadata in vector maps itself to improve this issue also. Hope it is not a big problem now. Zoom in should fix this right?

[balloni55]

Zoom in should fix this right?

no, but it isn´t a big problem for me

Probably caused by incorrect check of bounding boxes

perhaps i found one reason, hillshademap < ZL 9 couvers most area and also center of Badenwürttemberg, and so locus see no need to center Bayern?

After downloading a map from store - there is no information to restart map manager because downlaoded map is not visible in list...

[Menion]

Hmm it's issue. It a shoukd work without restart

edit: hmm I'm unable to simulate it. Any specific map please? Thanks
