[APP] - version 3.45.+ ( 14. 4. 2020 )

Something else:
May I ask about the Cloud Map/Data Storage/Sync?
Topic https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/cloud_map_and_data_storage_sync is locked, but that's 14 months ago... Is that part of LM4 or postponed because of that?
Thx for your answer!

This never worked yet. I was already thinking about it, but because no global standard exists, I left it as is now. How you may use this? Just to share tracks from your Locus to other Locus instance right?
There is quite a lot of parameters, but I'll look at it ...

Yes... share your tracks with the people you are on trips with... and also import my own tracks into Locus in a proper way. I have literally thousands of tracks from my own trips and coloring them manually in Locus is not possible any longer. I can easily generate GPXes with proper coloring and patterns in Locus syntax from a script, but that gets mostly lost on import.

In general, it just sounds reasonable if you import something you exported, it ends up being identical.

thanks a lot for the precise videos. Weird that I can't simulate exactly what happens to you. Anyway, I made some minor changes in recent code so please check the next Alpha/Beta version and let me know if the result will be the same. Thanks.

@slarti76 & others
this is really good question. I'm trying to convince Michal to write a post about our current team and what we do (or just a page "About us") but it seems it will take some time ... 

So shortly: even it's not visible, we grew from good old small-team (me, Petr, Michal), to six people this year (January)!
Important is that Radim firstly worked on the library for WMS maps (in preparation is support for WMTS, for voting and labels) and now he's fully focused on a new online database for POI (that will convert to offline as well).
Ondra since February work on the big web server that will first serve as a synchronization/backup server, in the second step as web route planner & data manager and later maybe also as small "community network" (not yet 100% decided). Third guy Honza (who is also the creator of the add-on for Garmin watches), work with us as some kind of "manager". I'm not a born team-leader so someone who will take care of plans & progress is definitely needed!

And that's all ... summary? I believe that we finally move with sync server and POI  & sync is a must-have for us for Locus Map 4. Because Ondra already has a month delay, it gives me time to, thanks to Your help, fine-tunes Locus Map 4 .

@joeloc
oki, consider as done (will be in next Alpha/Beta)

New version 3.45.1.3 is in the Beta channel, so give it a try.

Mainly @joeloc, check if such a solution makes sense. There are parameters that have more options and there is, of course, no doc for this, so just use set > export > check method, thanks.

On a first quick glance, export and re-import of extra colors and patterns with gpx seem to work fine. Thanks!

Storing the Locus Database Folder there as well wouldn't be an option? Needs more thinking obviously and some UI work on the Import dialog... just an idea.

Checked Lopoints in "Nearest points" panel. Shouldn't it be independent from "Show on map" option in Lopoints window? Otherwise people will need support.
I'm glad you put some work into the POI system.

It's great that you put Locus specific track information into the gpx xml format.

I'm not sure if it just appeared with this version or was there before, but I noticed a problem in the strings on the Intervals tab.
I think the Climb Speed column name is made of two separate strings, I noticed because I use the app in italian and it's translated word by word. This becomes a problem when you translate to languages that don't put the adjective before the noun, because you can't change the order of the words.

[0709]

While busy now with gpx can you have a look @ the Locus result @ import to export ?
When the gpx file has an informative link in the header meta data.
@ export the metadata is removed BUT in ALL and each waypoints that link is added.

@joeloc
works ... fine.
I think that the Locus Map folder does not belong to any export format. A folder is too user-dependant, there will be need for some additional test of parent Group, maybe even folder settings ... brr, no please .

@tapio
Well ... rather do not think too much about old "LoPoins screen", it really needs (and receive soon) some major rework.

@413Michele
hi, welcome here .
Well, these ARE two separate strings. "Climb" is the name for information in the first row and "Speed" for the bottom row. Check units, the climb is in "X m (up) | -X m (down)", where speed is in km/h units (or what you use).

@0709
link in top metadata ... as I see, this is made as intent. With this, probably an important link is then visible in all imported objects. The same happens for "time" that may be also in this <metadata> block. Is this wrong you think?

[413Michele]

@menion Wow, how stupid... I should have checked with more attention. Well, better this way!

Edit: I see now I have mixed LM3 Pro and LM4 Alfa things together. As while OAM downloading is currently possible in LM3 only, the rest, related to LoPoint DB choice applies to LM4 alpha ( the DB recognition perhaps to both). But I am sure @menion will not get confused :-)
--------

I have noticed 1 not very consistent thing, related to OpenAndromaps placement during Locus-actions OAM download. It has revealed itself with existence of  new beta Locus Poi OAM dB files.

If I download OAM map or its Poi DB from OAM site via Locus actions,
it places the files into mapsVector folder. LocusMap recognizes the <country>_oam.osm.map file, but not <country>_oam.osm.db file, when I try to select the POI dB file from LoPoint selection.

If I move both files to Europe subfolder, where already are respective LoMap files for European countries, LocusMap is able to recognize the POI dB file. If I move it back to mapsVector ( all moves with LM shut down ), it is not able to find DB file again.

I am not sure, if eventual change has to be done in LocusMap application, or in the locus-actions XML file on the OAM site. But I think either Locus should place the files during the download/unpacking to the respective region folder, either it should be able to recognize the POI *.osm.db file in mapsVector as well.

@poutnikl
Did you try clearing Locus cache? Settings > Miscellaneous > Clear temporary data > Temporary files ('cache directory'). This seems to help Locus recognise changed db file locations.

[poutnikl]

@johnpercy Thanks, it did help in both LM3 dB file recognition and LM4 alpha dB file choice. But it is still little strange it is ever needed.

@poutnikl @menion
To my mind it looks as if the cache is over aggressive.

I've found one minor problem when downloading OAM LoPoints so refresh of the map did not happened correctly. So try it Libor in next (Beta) version, it should work now, thanks.
