[APP] - version 2.14.X+ (updated 3.9.2013)

I've just noticed that 'nautical mile/h' and 'knots' coexist in [Localization] -> [Speed units]. Why?
They are the same by definition, aren't they?

@bucky kid: long press - I know, sorry. Screen turn "OFF" in random situations? It should not. Don't you have enabled turn on/off by gesture? And what you mean by zoom levels 100% and above?

Thanks and sorry. I didn't notice the discussion.

I have one more question about unit. Pressure unit of weather.
Is 'mBar' commonly used in the field of weather forecast in Europe?
In Japan, it was replaced with 'hPa' long time ago and 'mBar' is no longer used.
Of course they are mathematically the same.

Yes that was it. What are the gestures for turning off/on screen? Maybe this feature would be more useful active only in map view, would you consider to turn it off inside menus and dialogs? I have encountered many unintentional screen offs while editing route description with onscreen keyboard)

Quote from: "menion"And what you mean by zoom levels 100% and above?

I am mistaken that's nothing to do with magnifier but map zoom layer. So for layers up to 15 shading is present, for layers 16+ it's off. Would the shading be possible also for layers 16 and above?

Hi, excuse me for asking (I am probably retarded), but where can I download these test versions? Latest would do. I can't find any download link.

jusc · August 17, 2013, 15:34:07

Normally in this thread in first post. But actually there is no test version. These test versions are most published near to the next official release as "release candidates" and test versions for a short time.

jirka · August 17, 2013, 16:23:11

Thank you for your reply. The reason I asked is that I'd like to test the offline POI database and it's supposed to work only with test/beta versions of Locus. In the thread
//http://forum.locusmap.eu/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3267
the following is written:

Quoteinstall latest locus test version from here viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3189#p21696 , at least 2.13.2.5, to make it work correctly

It is quite strange that the POI feature can be tested only in some short time intervals when new test version is released (even if it works in all of them). Is it possible to download at least the last testing version somewhere?

jusc · August 17, 2013, 21:21:10

But menion has written, that he will publish test versions here, if the bugs are solved. So I think, we all have to wait. :wink:

Menion · August 19, 2013, 19:02:23

ahh perfect, today was released new version of ANT+ library on Google Play, so expect new test version soon. I'll be working on it today and tonight, but working version will be probably tomorrow ... there is not too much news now, because I worked on some server stuff, but ... you'll see

Menion · August 20, 2013, 20:24:44

uff don't kill me after test of new version

Expect that there may be a problems on places where all were fine before (handling with maps)

but that's why these are test versions right? Enjoy

WARNING: worst then BETA version

Really? Didn't meet any problem up to know

Vector maps don't seem to be a problem.

Quote from: "menion"- added new one-finger zoom
- fixed problems with settings own location sources
- added ability to hide tabs in satellite/compass screen

Tested, all ok.
The new one-finger zoom works really nice (double tap and then up or down). This is the kind of handling I wished also for the new zoom feature which can be started from the zoom buttons.

Menion · August 20, 2013, 21:45:29

good to hear all works. There is really a lot of changes and fixes on background. Shading for personal maps was even more complicated then I thought. But now it works on completely all maps, on Rmap, MBT, Gemf, doesn't matter

It works very well without big problem. Here is what I've noticed.

- GPX version appears not only GPX but also KML, CSV, TCX, DXF.
- The question mark button on the right of the GPX version doesn't work.

- If both Pro and Test are installed, Enable/Disable Shading maps from Settings doesn't work on Test version. It only works on Pro and affect for both Pro and Test versions.
- Enable/Disable Shading maps by Quick switch works well for both Pro and Test independently.

- Shading itself works very nice for all online/personal/vector! Thanks!
