Web planner / portal

[Tapio]

Yeah query string in URL is zoom and map center only, but it's a good start at least.

I am usually planning new tracks while seeing the old tracks, which is not possible with web-planner. Created https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/23769-web-planner-display-multiple-tracks
I don't like the preview in the track listing in "My Library". I think it is unnessecary space wasting. Groups and folder listing looks good though.
I created a helpdesk entry because it is lacking embedded WP... https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/23770-support-for-embedded-waypoints

Blue official hiking/bike routes - blue own tracks, in the screenshot you can see, it's just not ideal. Visually confusing.

2) List of reported issues/features that are planned - yes, I will try to do it ... but I am little bit lazy in this kind of work. So hopefully, till the end of this week

I think the list should be added to the newly created help desk topic
https://help.locusmap.eu/topics/all/status/all/category/30/sort/new_updated/page/1
just to avoid new requests you are working on

I would have a few suggestions to improve web planner.
1) The statistics section of longer routes is not visible. I suggest moving it on a separate bookmark for the cant graph. Either it would be a graph or statistics. Alternatively, just give it to a small font in the header of the cant graph.
2) Add to graph cant Also, switch to slope (percentage of climb)
3) Add the ability to save your own planning profiles to your account. Or synchronize them from the phone as well as routes. This would probably be the best.
4) Add the option to change the planning profile by clicking the profile symbol.

In my opinion, the planner stats is missing 2 important values for any hike: elevation gain and loss.

I also noticed that the planner map (see left) favours the cycling paths, while the Lo maps (on the right) is richer for hiking (I am using the Planner for hiking)

Locus site does not display solar power plants. See SCR.

What is the different between LoMaps offline, and LoMaps Hike&Bike?

I tried the web planner to make a route in Åndalsnes in Norway and discovered something strange:

https://web.locusmap.app/en/?lat=62.564336&lng=7.715878&z=15

The three holes (marked in the screenshots) are not there, as far as I know... I cant find them with LoMaps Offline map in LM4 neither.

[michaelbechtold]

SRTM (and OAM) do not show those holes.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/62.5564/7.7225&layers=Y
no holes

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/62.5564/7.7225&layers=C
with holes, and I think Locus uses this one

In the image the mystery unveiled.

First, great work with the web-planner. I'm looking forward to further enhancements.

One question: is it intentional that the height-graph is only shown for tracks which are currently planned, but not for "old" tracks synced from the phone (although they have height-data)?

And are there plans to also make the synced POIs visible in the webplanner? Would be great to have e.g. POIs of trailheads available in the planner.

lor74cas: hahaha

I have browsed around in the Hike&Bike map, and i find many holes like this around. (At least in that area).

Hi guys,

thanks a lot for your feedbacks and ideas. As you probably already spotted, we finally officially released LM4 for wide public. We can say we have LM4 app in the state which we wanted for its first release, but truth is that this is not really case for Web planner. We are aware of many missing features/updates which we wanted to include to first release, but time was against us.  On another hand we for sure believe it is already far better than nothing. 

That being said, we have huge list of priorities which we want to handle and which should solve lots of your complains or implements your mentioned feedbacks. Because of that, we decided to leave BETA sign on its header for some time.

In the long-term, we have quite a lot of ambitions with our web portal so be sure we will keep rushing to make it better, its public release is just the beginning for us! Don't hesitate to keep your reports and feedbacks coming please - this of course help us to check we have our priorities right or help us to update our plans (here or even better to: https://help.locusmap.eu/topics/all/status/all/category/30/sort/new_updated/page/1). Also please don't forget that web portal is set of various big and "independent" feature sets, so if you find something strange for example on online LoMaps - like Trump playing golf - better report it to its particular topic (https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=7191.0).

Regarding some topics which were already mentioned:
1) Not recalculate route when you change main routing profile is intentional to allow you to quickly change it during route planning while keeping previously routed part of the track intact. We will for sure try to find some solution to make it more obvious and option to recalculate whole route if wanted.
2) Ability to easily update routing profile of individual route segment will come soon.
3) Behaviour of routing points on left panel will be tweaked to not loose route statistics from the sight all the time when you put more routing-points.
4) Graphs will of course be not only for planned routes but also on other tabs and will contain a lot more data.
5) Another big topic for us is already mentioned ability to show multiple content from various tabs on the map to allow you for example plan route while having your previous tracks or even somebody else's track on map. Definitely lots of plans there.

So wish us luck to bring it all soon.

No preview available?

• some tracks in folder on the device don't have previews
• cloud sync
• LocusMap web generates previews
• single track in another folder doesn't have a preview
• LocusMap web can't generate the preview? attached
• manual generation on device (long tap on preview) works correctly
