[APP] - version 2.17.X+ (updated 28.12.2013)

[jusc]

I read it, but it´s not really clear how can I use it.
Is it an own standalone application? For hiking or biking users it is perhaps not soooo usefull.
But why not.  Maybe in the future...

[Menion]

yes, it's a completely independent app. It just share part of code with locus around map handling and some GUI stuff. Purpose is for people that wants to use their device for some surveying, data collecting, some "profesional" tasks, not hike & bike and similar.

Purpose is simple - more and more people use Locus for some work tasks, not just free time, and write us - add this, add that etc. And because I want to keep Locus itself focused on free time activities and because I like all these stuff around surveying etc., result is this app. It won't be probably nothing for you, it's just my small excuse, that I do not invest my full time to Locus itself last weeks.

I have something in my mind, and I'm sure that soon or later ...

Fine, I knew that the developer heart is beating strong in you're breast ;-).

btw. did you saw this? http://www.locusmap.eu/locus-gis-android-gis-application/ , just to notify, that I do not waste time

Yes, I read the article and I find it interesting though up to know I didn't have any contact with GIS. I'm not sure what you want from me as I don't see any test version.

Hehe, nothing . First public test version will be probably in ... hmm April 2014, maybe later. And even then, I will need people that work in GIS. There are two reasons why I mentioned it. 1. because I do not know what everybody of you do in your life, so it should be interesting for you. 2. As I wrote in my previous post - "it's just my small excuse, that I do not invest my full time to Locus itself last weeks"

Hi,
I played around a little bit with the new functionality in "route & measure" in the testing version 2.17.4.3. This works great! With the automatic recalculations we have a very handy tool for route creation now!
Deleting a point in the middle of the route is great, but even better is the ability to add an additional point between two existing points with the little red dots! Thank you very much for this feature! I hope we get the functionality in the "normal" version soon.

I also tried the new grouping function for POIs. Also very handy! Thanks!

[Menion]

glad you like it. Public version will be after christmas. Current version seems to be very stable and without serious problems and I do not want to publish a version with possible problems now

Quick view settings: Bug or normal behaviour that I don't have all settings in the recent testing version?
My quick view:

Settings in Pro (mind "Zeitringe" ) :

Settings current test version (2.17.4.3)

[Menion]

ah nice discover - thanks. It's probably older problem that come in version, when was removed "Modules". Settings you miss in testing version were available only in case, you had enabled "Advanced module".

Anyway problem is fixed now, thank you!

[Menion]

hope you all have calm and relaxing days. I've prepared one version, probably RC (release candidate) so if anyone is interested, may try. During next week, I want to publish new version, so write me if you'll have any problems or wishes

[tommi]

Menion, the out of track message isn't repeated anymore. If you leave the navigation track the out of track notification it comes only once but not repeated every 30secs as in older versions.
Nice greetings to your Mom.

[Menion]

Hello Tommi,
  please check "Out of track notification" settings. There is a new field "Repeat every X seconds". Do you have enabled this settings?

[tommi]

Ah, new setting. Thanks!

Well, new in 2.17.4  playstore version. I found that out during a hike two days ago.    But works great and on/off not. sound through quick switch also.
But not really having time to test RC version, maybe later.

[Menion]

I'm not sure I fully understand - this new settings that allow enable/disable repeating of "out of track" notification works fine anyway On/Off over Quick switch do not work?

[Henk van der Spek]

All works great. "not. sound" means "notification sound". I can toggle it on/off with the Quick Switch .
