Locus Map 4, discussion (beta)

[413Michele]

I found a bug with navigation in the latest beta: navigating with the map oriented towards north moves the on-screen directions arrow when moving the cursor.

To reproduce:
1. Start navigation, either online or offline (I tested Lorouter offline and Graphhopper)
2. tap the compass to have the map be north-oriented
3. move the map cursor
4. The on-screen direction arrow will replicate the cursor movement for about 1 second, before going back to the right position

The only thing that seems to trigger it is the north orientation of the map, I'll share a screenshot but I need to find a way to remove personal location info first

Today there is a problem with synchronize.
There is a message about the lack of purchased subscription.

I read that there are tests. sorry.

I have a super weird problem since Galaxy 20 FE. I always run display at maximum brightness. Quite often , the phone is in a state where everything is super bright, but as soon as Locus comes to front, the display is dimmed to quite dark. Not via settings mind you, all is still set on maximum. Display is dark anyway, as though the phone "fears" overheating.

This *only* happens when Locus is in front. Other screens are still bright until the phone gets really hot. Then everything goes dark.

It seems as if Android "anticipates" Locus to behave badly and dims in advance.

When i open  a geocache and run "update geocache"
on "updated" cache window most needed infos like: D/T,  size, attribut icons, logs, wpts, listing are gone
After reopening the geocache all infos are available.

I'm unsure if this is the proper thread, so please move if it's not...

I've always been hopeful that Locus would come out with a web interface, where you can see your points and tracks and work with them...move, copy, import, etc...along with an interactive map and so on. Sort and organize waypoints, edit tracks, sort them into groups and folders...
(Think that other mapping app that starts with a G...but their directory structure is painful at best)

I did find the web.locusmap.app site, but (for my purposes), it doesn't have the functionality that I (specifically) would like to see.  Not complaining, as it is likely the cat's meow for people who plan trips online...   

Does anyone know if there's plans for something like this...or if it already exists?  (I say that because I have been reading up on version 4 for a few months now and only stumbled on a post about the web planner by accident)

Jiří, you are right: tap – tap + swipe does it perfectly.
Thanks!

Hello,

the actual version crashes every time I delete any point.

Best, Lucas

New version just upload: MapGooglePlay_4.0.0 - V13_993_beta

Except for (again) very weird errors of @joeloc, all major reported problems should be solved. Thanks all (and specially @balloni55 for logs and @413Michele for the video)

@gcfishguy
Not sure what more you want than what offers the Beta version of web.locusmap.app. There won't be any other website for Locus Map with map etc  . It has its own topic here, so feel free to ask there if you miss any functionality. Many features are planned for the next versions.

Confirm problem of crashing on point deletion solved!

Same for me with newest beta

Hmm I'm unable to simulate this. Cache stored in internal database > update cache > correct result. Isn't there any option in G4L that may affect this? I've found only some "Basic info only", but this seems to have no effect here.

[balloni55]

Same for me with newest beta

confirm
with PRO it work as expected, so i don´t think its on GC4L

EDIT:
its different, on some it work like
