Does this weird layout happen on your Samsung Tab A7 in portrait orientation?

long-press to cancel recording > there is a confirmation dialog.
"Preferred folder" > this needs to be set for "Auto-save" to be working. But even if auto-save is disabled, the folder is pre-selected in the "save screen".

Doesn't work for me:
- Long-press when track has 0 or 1 point -> discard without warning (acceptable)
- Long-press for >1 point -> auto-save (without any interaction)

"Preferred folder" > this needs to be set for "Auto-save" to be working. But even if auto-save is disabled, the folder is pre-selected in the "save screen".

Ah, ok, then the folder makes sense, still - didn't realize that. I rest my case

settings > track recording > <profile> > Save & display: off - I am still seeing 2 behaviors - 1) mostly the track details screen is displayed 2) sometimes the screen is not displayed. I can get used to one or the other but still seems like a timing issue.

@menion - yes, that screen capture is from the tablet in portrait orientation. It has only happened recently.

@menion - request for new Preset setting: settings > Maps > Offline maps > Text size. For some Presets I'd leave the size @ 100%, but for others it would be nice to make larger, say 175%.

This simply isn't possible  .

Are we talking about the long press on this "Stop" button? There is a simple method that have to display "Discard" question dialog.



@Andrew Heard

issue with "Save & display" settings > can't do more now. Will have to test it and simulate it.

issue with layout > ah thanks, got it.

new settings in Preset > there are a lot of such ideas that make sense for a few users on the help desk. So maybe later when I'll be working on presets.

But unless I have a look into map data, this is just my guess. Please specify the location more.

sure: shared track @ web.locusmap.app-planner

Yes, the segment with warning is a secondary road without a (mapped) sidewalk.

@slarti76
ah!! Thanks for the video. I was talking and checking the behavior of the "Stop" button in the panel (as visible on the screenshot). You were talking about a small button directly on the main map screen.

As I see, the current behavior was implemented at 06/2022! and no complaints since then. Long-press simply calls "Stop" and the recording service takes care. In your case, seems you use auto-save, so the result is quick and correct from my point of view. Do you have some accidental clicks on this button?

Ah, ok - and now I tried long-pressing the button in the sidepanel, and it works as expected.

I could nit-pick that it's two red buttons with different long-press behaviour, but then again one has a square in it, which definitely means "Stop", and the other a colored circle. Let's say it's not 100% perfect, but I don't have a better idea, so let's leave it at that!
Thx for explanantion!

Locus Map Beta 4.20.1.1 (test version on Google Drive)

with surprise for @balloni55 and probably also others

Have a nice weekend!

[Tapio]

The surprise isn't too interesting for me, but thx anyway 😀 Please allow to hide it in the mcp

@Menion, hill shading is painted on top of mapsforge captions, is there something that can be done? It does some harm to readability of text. I guess not...? ideally the theme decides when to paint the hill shading layer.

Hello Menion,

in the new Beta the geocaching website only disappears for a few seconds. Maps are only displayed for a short moment and then the geocaching website returns on top in Locus 4 Gold.
I'm not interested in geocaching and don't want to register. Is there a workaround?

Kind regards

Jochen

@Tapio @Jochen
for now it is enabeled after update
switch it off and it will no longer bother you

[balloni55]

Hello menion
thank you very much for the pre-Christmas surprise

Please deactivate "GC Live map" in the update  it only creates confusion when activated

I would look for this function in the "Geocaching tools"
