Higher memory usage (possible memory leak)?

OAM V5 mostly with Karl Chick's Ordnance Survey (OS) map theme.

I was testing it a lot over the weekend and there seems to be a problem with map tile images (so directly bitmap images)  remaining in the native memory.

The most simple test is to have a NMEA file for simulation, zoom in a lot, so the map move also. Navigation and also track recording seems to be without a problem. Now I have to find out why this happens ...

Hallo menion,
long time nothing heard from you on this problem

it seems to me that since the V4map change, the problem has worsened.
Today after about 2.5 hours 1.7GB were used by Locus

Ah, thanks balloni for the reminder ... visible truth is that I've forgot about it. I remember I tested it and noticed a very similar (not so critical) problem, but even after some testing, I wasn't able to find out why this happens.

Hmm ... complicated problem.

I may only add it higher in the never-ending list of priority tasks.

sorry, i can't forget it....
after ~ 2.5 hours locus first becomes very slow and then it grinds

Hi balloni,
I've finally yesterday and today made some tests and found only a single problem that was caused by using the auto-zoom feature. Are you using it?

[balloni55]

that was caused by using the auto-zoom feature. Are you using it?

no, never sorry. Only manual zoom in/out
the problem results exclusively from loading new map tiles
