Re: [APP] - version 3.38.+ ( 22. 5. 2019 )

Newest Elevate and a v4 map, and the city name overshadowed by "Wohnwagen-Platz"... Sizes of town/city names like totally random.

Could you post a screenshot?

1. why do I have now a 10 sec delay with a black screen (free and pro) before the init screen appears?

for me the delay take always ~5 sec

similar for me, but has varied from ~2 to 10s. It seemed to get a little faster each time I started Locus Pro. I rebooted & then same experience - 1st start after reboot is slowest - 5s, then exit, restart ~2s, then exit, restart <1s - in fact fastest I've ever seen. But more troubling - the vector map is not always painted at app startup! Once the screen displayed "Settings > Online maps > Cached maps only". Another time the screen is all blank except GPS icon + "waiting" text at top of screen, scale at bottom, and no other controls! These 2 failures for ~30 restarts. This behavior didn't occur with 3.37.2.14. Am using single vector map.

Cannot recreate it. But here is another example. I must correct, I used Elements theme. It displays a lot, but when zooming out town names should have the right prio...

I have also seen a start delay, black screen.

The new version has started making problems with the map.
After some time of use it stops map rendering, it is blurred. Clicking on zoom out / toom it causes the map to disappear completely.

Geocaches and offline points cannot be active (you can't click on them). Resolves Locus restart.
I use Lomap (Czechia).

I hope soon we will have v4 themes in presets.

On zooming in and out, I have seen tiles not properly painted at times. Sometimes half text, somtimes complete text at same ZL. v4 map oam.

After updating some maps (France and Italy LoMaps in the store) I cannot reliably go back out of the download page, using either the app's own back buttons or the Android back button. Occasionally it works but more often than not, it refreshes the screen but stays on the same page (saying the download and install is complete). I have had to quit the app and restart it to get back.

3.38.0 Pro - track & point exports have wrong version written to GPX:

Code Select Expand


<metadata>
<desc>File with points/tracks from Locus Map/3.37.2</desc>
</metadata>

Please use Elevate for normal or densely mapped areas. Elements is meant for countries like Iceland, northern Scandinavia etc.

They are. You have to edit your preset and add the option

[john_percy]

My Locus Free has updated to 3.38.0 and is now no longer a beta (I think). However, there are no ads appearing.

Edit: ads now appearing!

[Tapio]

I try to now exclusively use v4+ maps and themes. It seems like finally city/town/village names are displayed reliably. Great!

The rendering of v4 maps often goes along with significant delays. That smoothness of displaying also means some... confusion. I sometimes do not know if there's still some loading going on.

Starting Locus and instantly sending Locus Actions makes it crash. In Tasker, I had to insert Wait.

[Žajdlík Josef]

I confirm the functionality of the autozoom lock function.  Also, Locus now correctly detects breaks so route times and average speed are fine.  Good work.
