[APP-DEV] - version 2.10.2+

[Menion]

Testing of version 2.10.2+



Version 2.10.2.10 - 25. 4. 2013
this is currently release candidate. If there will be no problems, this version will go out to wild world for next month ...

changes
- fixed problem with downloading tiles - type around POIs
- fixed problems with incorrectly computed distance on some devices
- added automatic pressure calibration using SRTM data if available
- added "current time" to dashboard variables
- integrated Zip4j on extracting vector maps. Hope this solve some issues after vector map download
- optimizations in vector map rendering (again small speed gain)
- fixed rendering problems for overlay maps
- added ability to define to which level will Locus simplify tracks on map
- improved parsing a coordinates from Clipboard

Version 2.10.2.8 - 23. 4. 2013
changes
- added support for Israel ICS, ITM, Czech S-JTSK and New Zealand NZ2000 coordinates
- improvements in edit coordinates dialog
- fixed some crashes in Edit point and Edit track screens
- fixed problem with login into GPSies for some users
- fixed some problems from previous test versions (geocaching, settings a navigation target, etc)
- and quite many small fixes

Version 2.10.2.7 - 19. 4. 2013
changes
- reusing map tiles during zoom for online & vector maps
- support for POI files OV2 (TomTom), UPI (Sygic)
- fixed problem with inability to change top buttons
- fixed problem with auto-loading of vector maps
- fixed problem with remembering of removed temp items when closing app

Version 2.10.2.6 - 18. 4. 2013
changes
- new system for vector map rendering (boost about 20% on multi-core devices)
- added support for question on center for some online maps (retromap)
- create white guiding screen (compass) + added sun (need to switch in config file)
- added new online map - retromap.ru (+ separete UI - side panel)
- small improvements in POI alert
- fixed problems with huge images in GC offlinizer (+ added possibility to define max image size for download)
- many many small improvements

Version 2.10.2.5 - 8. 4. 2013
- finally back from Prague Exhibition (3 days), so fully back in work

changes
- redesign of altitude manager
- improvements (mainly design) in logging a geocaches
- big improvements in handling NetworkLinks (screen refresh, timing)
- fixed problems with MBT maps
- fixed problems with keep a guiding on points that change location (live view, network links)
- fetch actual version of My Tracks library (so My Tracks record works again)
- all values in track charts are now filtered
- fixed problems with not loading low zooms of some SQLite maps
- fixed refresh of GroundOverlay items

Version 2.10.2.4 - 2. 4. 2013
- major changes are in new "Altitude manager". It's currently in beta. I have changed quite a lot of on background. Whole system seems to be very very complicated and I'm thinking how to make it more simple. Anyway if you want to test, I may suggest to test with pressure sensor (if you have it) and also record NMEA messages. If there will be any problem, I may at least simulate your way by NMEA (except pressure values of course)

changes
- create new "Altitude manager" - beta
- added support for Vertical speed and slope for dashboard
- improved getting a location over "Clipboard"
- added gradient to charts
- added arrows when highlighted track with other then "simple color" style
- fixed problems with GUI at Huawei Ideos
- fixed problems with import of KMZ files with same additional files (same name)

Hi Menion,
crash during startup, sent you catlog.
Have fun

[gynta]

FC after re/avtivate compass
log if you want/need..

edit
...and after this first fc.
fc on start.

[Menion]

thanks guys, should be fixed now in 2.10.2.4

[tommi]

Hi Menion,
first few results after dashboard test on sofa:
- Altitude still only !=0 after GPS fix though pressure sensor enabled
- vertical in km/h, should be m/h
- after GPS switched off still 12/12 satellites displayed, should be 0/0

I don't understand the altitude manager

thanks guys, should be fixed now in 2.10.2.4

Sorry, no :-(

First long time a white screen and then a FC.

[tommi]

@tramp20:
not really a crash AFAICS (I'm no Android expert but there is no java stack backtrace) but the log is full of always the same line "W/FileMapTypeAbstract(19102): initializeMap(), file:/mnt/sdcard/Locus/maps/Nussdorf, not exist or directory!!!"

I have these error messages since Locus can write a own logfile in logs :-)
I did wrote this menion long ago but he said this is not important.
This "missing" directory is always my selected personal map and changes with another selected map. This is IMO not the cause for the FC.


Edit: I tested this free in my androVM_vbox86p_4.1.1 (in VMWare) and it stopped unexpectedly too even with vector maps selected, but when I delete my maps directory then the free version runs 20 sec longer before it stops again.


Edit2: Without my personal maps the free runs now fine at least on VMWare.

With 2.10.2.4.apk Locus stops by Initializing Personal Maps 3%

[gynta]

hm
works here - i used it since yesterday's release
And now works debug=1 again  

[tommi]

I use 2.10.2.4, too and recorded some tracks with my dashboard open - no problems regarding crashes or so.

[locuscycling]

Today i tried Locus beta version downloaded from Post nr.1 -2.10.2.4.apk. I wanted to see how works Slope and Vertical Speed. And ...it works.
But there  where some problems at the start. (In seetings i have autocalibration with built in baromether.)

I started recording tracks ( driving a car in the city generaly on flat).Trak was recordering but Dashboard was not working. I saw screen like this


Then when i tried to stop recordering suddenly Locus ''crash'' i have to switch off my phone.Then i started Locus again. This time Dashboard worked perfectly.

I got screen like this


(This Icon VAM -it is vertical speed .
I agree with Tommi , better to see  m/h  not km/h. But OK 1,2 km is 1200 m )

My recordered tracks seems to be OK.

[tramp20]

Edit2: Without my personal maps the free runs now fine at least on VMWare.

Today I made some new tests:
All personal maps are correct functioning when they are only in locusmaps, but if I have subdirectories there (e.g. locusmapsdaheim) then these same maps in this subdir make Locus 2.10.2.4 to FC (error "Unfortunately, Locus Free has stopped").

I seem to remember that nested folders are not supported.

I seem to remember that nested folders are not supported.

This was always allowed until now and used by me.
