[APP] - version 2.13.X+ (updated 1.8.2013)

news:
main news:
- introducing new map of the world as vector map that cover world for 1-8 zoom levels when using vector maps (extract attached file into Locus/mapsVector directory and enjoy)

+1

A nice future improvement after this feature arrives might be an option to use a sqlite map...

Sorry if this sounds annoying. Using a bitmaps targets exactly my demands. Maybe not now, maybe in the future..

You are not alone ;-)
It would be great to have a CHOICE. Also re. the level of switching to the alternate map. Now it is at 8, it should be configurable (in cfg file, if you feel that there is no room in the app itself ...). I made a level 10 SQLite map (land, ocean up to level 7) last year when I used Maverick (before I got addicted to Locus   , an dit is just 1.5 GB e.g.. And osmandromaps has a 700 MB level 4 - 9 SQLite one.

should be fixed now (crowdin)

Thanks!!!

I also found the funny behavior of the "Missing translation" filter at crowdin and worked around as gynta suggested in the translation topic.

May I ask a simple question? Why "Shading maps" is not available for personal maps?

[Menion]

because loading of personal maps works in little bit different way, that currently do not allow using shading. I currently have no idea how to simply do it, but I'm sure, soon or later it will come to my mind

[ta-ka]

I see.  I'll wait in hope.

[gynta]

In this case: Please add "map shading" to "quickswitch"panel.
Not all maps need shading. On the other hand - i want  it in some  maps.
and switching in settings is..  äh..  not so smart  

[Menion]

don't worry .. already added. I just needed to create icon so that's why it wasn't in current test version ...

and please create a quick klick possibility to to download missing hgt data.
my method:
Add new point/advanced/new Altitude/download/save/close locus to clean te cache/ start locus

"clean the cache"? - why this?
 
anyway sorry, in this case I cannot serve. We plan to include pack of HGT files directly into locus store. So you'll just click on "Austria", and there will be Vector map, Poi database, Elevation files (hgt) etc.

"clean the cache"? - why this?

without closeing locus the hillshade is not displayed by me :oops:

We plan to include pack of HGT files directly into locus store

thats a good idea
is it possibble to store this data on the extern SD :?:

[tommi]

ah sorry. I copy part of this settings dialog from other settings and this is a result. Thank you problem fixed ...

@tommi: hope it works fine

yep, exactly as in my sweetest dreams ;-)

[Menion]

@balloni: just try to zoom in/out. Or maybe enable autoloading of vector maps (this will disable caching of vector maps that may cause problems). And storing HGT on card .. files have to be stored in Locus/data directory, so you may move whole Locus directory to you card, but not single HGT files

Guiding issues:
- I used a track in reverse direction. The info graph is displayed from original start to end from left to right, so far ok. But the marker for the current position is running also from left to right => wrong, either graph or marker need to run from right to left.

Not fixed in 2.14.0.
