[APP] - version 1.8.x

[dibrial]

I've cleard my error logs yesterday and today I have a about 10 new .err files in the folder. All filled with the same error message.

----------  1 jul. 2011 07:57:12  ----------
TAG:TileCache
MSG:run() - while (!requests.isEmpty())

This about 25 times with the same timestamp (1 second). My whole log folder is floooded with files  

Using vector maps of Netherlands and Czech Republic from this thread (message with both maps) in latest Locus Pro market version as well as todays Locus 1.8.11.2

I know about this, have to disable error logging for this

thanks guys (berkley also for email) ... should be fixed in last testing version

No FC's so far, well done

The intermittent FCs have gone for me too, but I have found another problem. I tried a recording. Starting the recording from the widget worked fine. When I stopped it I got the expected "save" screen, changed the name, and selected OK. But now if I try to start Locus Free it shows the same save screen again (with the exact same default name with the same time in it, so it's not a new track). So I saved the track a second time. When I did that I briefly got a recording notification, and then Locus Free exited (no error messages, just an exit). If I look in Locus Pro, the first track is correct, but the second one has a time of 0h:0m:0s and a distance of 0m. I then tried going into Locus Free again, but I got the same save screen again! So I saved the track a third time, got the same brief recording notification, Locus Free exited, but this time no track was saved at all. After that, every time I started Locus Free I got the same thing. If I select "Cancel" instead of "OK". Locus Free also exits.

Next I started a new recording from the widget. It started recording fine (which surprised me a bit - I was expecting it to do something bad at this point!). When I stopped the recording it saved fine, as before (with a new default name, so it's now a new track). Then I could exactly repeat the sequence above, except that I managed to get it to save two additional 0h:0m:0s tracks rather than only one.

I had the crash too, in the previous version, but I don't see the problem rijackson741 describes. Just came back from a small drive, used the widget to record, pause and stop. Afterwards Locus Free opens normally, without problems.

One thing I noticed, it seemed to switch off the GPS when pressing pause on the widget - but I have the "Keep GPS on when paused" switched on.

Another difference is that you see the track on the map after (auto-)saving when recording in Locus. After pressing stop in the widget the track is not displayed. Not a problem, just a small difference in behaviour :-)

I just rebooted the phone and tried again. Same thing, except that this time I manged to save many 0h:0m:0s tracks.

Also, if I turn off the GPS in system settings and then try to record using the widget I get a FC. After that the widget is dead.

[rijackson741]

I have figured out what is going on. I do not have Locus Free on my home screen, only Locus Pro. But since I knew I had run Locus Free earlier, after recording I selected it from the recent apps list (an act of laziness!). If I do that I always get the track save screen again. If I go to the actual Locus Free app and select that, Locus Free opens fine. After I have done that the icon in recent apps of course opens Locus Free normally again.

So Locus Free now has a split personality

Has someone generated Vector Maps for Spain ?.

Untested (as usual :-) ): //http://berck.se/maps/spain.osm.map

MapsForge has released new version 0.2.4  8-)  Have you already used the new mapfile-writer? Would be interesting, if the created maps are different to the 0.2.3 version...    I'm just loading a 0.2.4 map from their server...  

[durian]

No, haven't tried that yet, will do!

It's certenly not the first time your will hear that but i really hope Locus will one day come to iOs.

It's for me, even in it's actual version, the best GPS/Mapping app ever made. Yes it's not perfect, but it's very complete and absolutely awsome.
