Locus Map 4.27.1 still not on GD?
EDIT - got it! Sorry and thanks!

[balloni55]

support for sharing and re-import of custom icons/cursors

where do we find this option

[luce]

Version 4.27.1: Settings menu still not there. Am I the only one facing this issue?

[Graf Geo]

@luce: You asked that before.
I had answered here.

Perhaps I didn't explain it precisely enough: Long press on one of the function icons at the top and select "Settings" from the list. The function icon will then be replaced by the settings icon.
If you want it at the bottom:
Then long press on the setting icon again and replace it with any other function. "Settings" should then appear at the bottom where you missed it.
At least that's how it worked for me.

[luce]

@Graf Geo: Sorry, I didn't answer explicitly. I tried what you suggested (thank you), but no success – the settings icon is still missing...

Version 4.27.1: in map themes icons from External themes missing. oam and voluntary tested

[T-mo]

4.27.1
with quick (=heavy) moving and zooming through the map (OAM-vector) the cursor to position line once stop to get drawn. If GPS is on, the line gets drawn after map-rendering is finished, without GPS (current position is the last known) the line doesn't get drawn. Sort of.

[Graf Geo]

In 4.27.1, problems with the OAM themes are suddenly displayed, which was never the case before. See screenshots.

(For the "whoops" message after "validate" I switched Locus to English).

Same to me. 😥

[T-mo]

@Luce: see pictures below.
(Und ist unter 'Alle Funktionen' zu finden, siehe Bild 4)

Maybe 'settings' should be 1 of the icons at least, does not seem to be the case with this setup. Should get doublechecked, identical to 'settings' cannot be disabled at all.

Thanks for the quick night feedback!

Google refused the current version, so one new night 4.27.1 (1153) was generated, so please update.

@balloni55
custom icons > has the "share" option little hidden under "info" button (next to pack selection)
screen/navigation cursors > has a share option under the three-dot menu
when zip with cursors/icons is imported into the app, it should correctly detect what this zip is about and offer "import"

@luce
give a try to the new version if it helps

@Gerhard57
also the new version, should be fixed, thanks

@Graf Geo
the new warning in "themes" is a serious warning, that the theme contains huge SVG/PNG images that should be reduced by the theme creator. I have a lot of crashes of the app caused by a few themes that have insane 100+kb big SVG images inside. I'm sure that theme creators improve themes once they notice this

@menion, I understand your explanation, but the error message could be more helpful. if it had at least one image file name mentioned I think it would make more sense what the issue is.

[Graf Geo]

@Menion and all who have the warning with external themes with large images:

I was able to quickly check and fix this. In the elevate.zip the images (svg) are stored in the subfolder "ele-res". Sorted by size, there are only two images that exceed 20 KB (33 and 21 KB). That's not exactly "huge".

I have reduced the size of both images with an online tool (https://svgomg.net/), saved them and packed them back into the zip.

If other/more themes are affected, you have to do the same.

Then start Locus again and the warnings are gone.

I cannot judge whether the 20 KB limit is set too low.

Version 4.27.1 (1153): Settings button is back, thank you Jiří 

@T-mo: Thank you – I know the settings can be found in the "All features" menu and the quick settings can be edited by a long click, but these are just workarounds when the "main" settings button disappears. However, the issue is solved now
