Is there a new version planned because only some few days left?

... and I forgot how to work with official version. 😁

Would it be possible to add a version of the Climb Pro function to version 4? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2mimn3lBN1I

In dark mode:
1. Search text entered in Settings is almost unreadable with very low contrast
2. What is the intention for the icons for vector map themes in dark mode. Should I redesign the icon for my theme so it works against a dark background as well as a light one, or will it be automatically inverted in due course, or will there need to be two variants of icon for each theme?

Watching that video reminds me it would be nice to see the name of the upcoming road name, not just the command/ direction. If and when BRouter is integrated into Locus, surely this level of functionality will become possible.

@michaelbechtold
problem with enabled GPS is weird. I noticed it one really really long time ago. Almost impossible without simulation or till it happens to me when I'll be home (connected to PC).  :-\

@Žajdlík Josef
quick checked the video ... what is the point? The chart that display how far are you on the up or down segment during navigation? ... ah, found a nice explanation here: https://support.garmin.com/en-SG/?faq=KKRLD2Fo6MAlCXOzUZb1e9 . Well, nice but not doable in the nearest days.

@john_percy
1. top toolbar cause problems to me. I'm still unable to find a method, how to make it looks correctly. Looks, I'll after all change the color back to a darker version like in the current Locus Map version.
2. good question. Probably best will be to invert color for completely black icons in case of dark mode. I'll look at it, thanks.

Note that BRouter does not store street names in its rd5 files. So even if Brouter were integrated, it would not provide the names.

thanks @poutnikl. So why during navigation & I assume in route itinerary can road names be displayed when using GraphHopper but not with BRouter? I made a suggestion 3 years ago on this topic but got no response. Displaying "unknown street" for every itinerary navigation turn instruction is a waste of display space.

It is nice there is a new LM4 beta from June 29, but it still reports it's validity only to July 1.

In latest V4 beta, mid sized thumbnails for geotagged photos still usually return generic jpg icon, unlike in version 3. I'm not sure if that was supposed to be fixed, according to release notes.
(That's when tapping on small thumbnail picture on map and getting details screen appearing at bottom of screen. Tapping on jpg icon then gives correct large image.)

Street names during navigation ... I was already playing with an option to supply street names from the offline address database (as Andrew suggested). It worked, but not so fast. Anyway, with some optimizations, it may be doable ...

@poutnikl
ah ... I'm settings these time limits manually and sometimes I forget. Thanks, I'll generate a new version today (maybe tomorrow) after few more fixes.

@john_percy
hmm, problem I was solving was about thumbnails in the detail of point (attached photos). You have problem with "Geotagged photos"? Where is a problem? You see on the map corrent mini-photo icons, but in the detail of the point, there is incorrect thumbnail? From where are the photos? Anything special about it's name or path in your device?

Photos are from phone camera, stored in normal phone folder. Either "new photo point" or simple discovery by Locus has the same result. But works fine on version 3. And one or two of my camera photos work fine in version 4.


Screenshots show pop up detail panel and result of tapping on the jpg icon.
Additional screenshot is from version 3.

Hide all tracks and points. Since then long click on data symbol in the sidebar. Then the 2 symbols appear at the top left crossed out (picture). The symbols do not appear in LM4.

This function could also be found in the Map Content Panel. Possibly in active elements.
Or the data symbol opposite points nearby. And then with long click hide and normal click access to points and tracks
switch off points and tracks via long click on data. Hiding and unhiding individually works now.

Something seems to have gone wrong with LoPoints display in this alpha. If I tap the eye icon to turn it on in the map content fly out menu, nothing changes on the map, and if I open that menu again the eye is not shown as turned on.

This is true for POIs from both LoMaps and OAM.

Edit: And now it's OK again.

we've tried it on more devices and still no way to simulate issue with photos as you have with LM4, weird. I've enabled some logs for this task, so if next Alpha will have a same problem, create a log please, thanks.
