GPS indication troubles coming back - always on  :roll:
I must return back to version 1.1.1.4 ...

[Menion]

Medomys ... you're my enemy num. 1 ... enyone else same troubles?

PS: aren't you from Prague also?

[MedoMys]

I'm sorry. 8-)
Everything is perfect, I've desided to use Locus as a primary map and geocaching application, but I'm confused about this issue ... so I'll update every second version only and everythig will be ok!

[berkley]

I wish I had this GPS issue... but it works here the way it should work for all except me...

[kai-t]

Hi,

i thought i have this GPS issue too, until i recognized that i can switch off GPS in radar view. After switch it off there everything is fine.
Can it be that it is new that this setting is default? I never recognized it before, i knew this setting but beforhand it was allways off.
Everything else works fine for me. Thanks for this great work!

Best regards
Kai

Except new Pro version on market, here is some preview of what I did during a day ...

Is that graph made from Locus?

Anyway, the new release is really great! I like the add point button in the right panel, thanks a lot. One suggestion: make it possible to have a default or current category so you don't have to choose category each time. Imagine you are out on a route and wants to add waypoints - the chance is that you wish to add to the same category each time! Even if there is only one category, Locus still asks...

The compass screen looks very good now

How do you use the download map by track function? I can't find it.

[berkley]

Except new Pro version on market, here is some preview of what I did during a day ...

You went on a trip for 1,5 km with max speed of 55 km/h...  :lol:

WOOOOOOW!!! It seems to me, that you have too much spare time!  :mrgreen:

[Menion]

exactly, fortunately you don't see trip time, because it takes around 8 hours. Uff loooong trip

download map by track is in Pro version. Just tap on "Select path"

Hi menion, v 1.2free

Yesterday I have tried to download google hybrid map. I went for 3 layers, locus did show 1.91GB (180.000 tiles) alltogether, which is well under 2gb limit. Downloading finished after about 5-6 sudden phone restarts and re-downloads somewhere around 140.000 tiles as Unsuccessful, which was only about 75% of required tiles number... I have checked size of downloaded map and it is nearly 2GB, 1.98GB exactly. Is there limit  140.000 tiles in locus, which gives 2GB size? Or final extimated map size is not shown precisely really or is it? Anybody else had this problem? thx   :?

[Menion]

Hi,
  Estimated size is surely not precise. It fit mainly on basic ape like Google or OSM classic. Satellite images are bigger. Looks that I'll have to count different value per tile for every map.
Anyway phone restart is weird. Hmm 2GB per 5hours is pretty good and restart? Phone just need a rest for a while:)

Allright, thx for answer. I'll have to split my map download into 2 separate maps then and put them in the same folder, correct?
About this phone restarts... it happened 5-6 times in about 3-4 hours of running. I had to take battery out every time it restarts as it has keep restarting itself when this happened. Weird... I'm using htc desire, original rom.

This release is fantastic. When I first tried Locus about a month ago, I still preferred Maverick Pro although Locus was very close.

Since then a lot has happened with Locus (and nothing with Maverick) so I can now say for sure that Locus is the VERY BEST offline and offroad map program for Android  

BTW, I have noticed that the right panel always hides by itsef even though I have selected "Never hide" for the right panel in the options. So this options seems to be neglected.

[Menion]

Thanks guys I'm glad you like it, I like it too

Anyway I have still some troubles with internet connection and my 150MB limit on phone (used by fantastic tethering) is almost gone, so excuse me for now. Anyway expect new version here soon with track profiles and very quick point adding (today work)
