[APP] - version 4.30.+ ( 6/2025 )

[Tapio]

You can tap in that info btw.

You mentioned descriptions, plenty of room. I compared Slim View vs. Full view. Almost no height difference, in slim view it only replaces Information with emptiness.

Anybody recently had problems with tracks not syncing?
I never experienced any bugs since sync became production-ready. Also the change in the database went flawlessly. But now I had a clear case where there were two tracks on one device that just wouldn't appear on another, no matter how often I pressed Sync. I could solve it by slightly editing the description of those two tracks, then they were synced.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to document this, as I was on the road. I can only say that the tracks were split tracks: I split the original track (deleting the original), then I split the second part of that again (also deleting the "original"), and the two results of the last split failed to sync. Dunno if that's related...

I know no help or consolation but while cycle touring over last 1.5 months I use cloud sync between 2 or 3 devices, 2 or 3 times per day without trouble, although no split of tracks involved. I've always wished for a list, post-sync, of the actual names of folders, points & tracks that have changed but...

I should also say, I never use auto sync, only manual.

My experience so far was the same, it's really the first instance.

I also have sometimes issues, that automatic sync does not happen. What always helps is triggering a manual sync (from the settings). However I also had no time yet to document that in detail.

Thx for feedback, but my problem is also with Manual Sync. So those two tracks didn't sync manually until I edited them slightly.

4.30.1.3 @menion I hope you are feeling a little better. Should the point size be different between A) map content LoPoints & B) online search points? example attached of category toilet - icons in A are (too) bigger than in B. Would you think in general these new search icons are a little too big?

[Tapio]

Geotagged media, smarter, faster. I hope. With 10000s photos now it's rough. A progress bar which slowly moves, on map no respective pois are drawn so I guess it waits until 100%. I hope it won't happen any time I turn it on.

No display of OSM notes any more.

Edit: Ok, after media scanning the window says "no folder with geotagged media". No option to define folders there. It may now be in the options. Unfortunately now LM prefers to crash after a few seconds.

EDIT: I turned eye symbol of osm notes and geotagged media off and now LM doesn't crash. Geotagged media makes no sense now. No possibility to define paths at all. No possibility to rescan. No knowledge of where it has searched. It worked well before.

I looked. I have storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Locus/ with 18000 geotagged jpegs and webps in some subfolders.

Fortunately, I read Tapio's post in time and didn't install the beta on my main device. I'm going on holiday for a week and need a working Locus, which is the case with the current stable version.

I installed the beta on my old S7 for fun and, as I feared, there are serious problems. After the lengthy scanning of the geotagged media, Locus no longer starts and crashes regularly during the start-up process, so I don't even have a chance to turn anything on or off.

I'll just wait until there's a new beta version, which will hopefully work. Until then, have a nice holiday and relax, and thanks anyway. 🙂

Everything went well for me. I like the photos in the track. OSM No more notes are displayed.

4.30.1.3
  - add: LoPoints categories visible in the detail

@menion, Thanks for that. Oddly enough it does not solve my original problem - where the POIs denoting the hungarian "Dohanybolt" come from and which category they belong to.

There is a POI shown on the Map (in the center of Köszeg):

However - if i click on the POI, it opens, displays the "Shopping" Icon - but no category and no further information regarding the Source....

The actual source is appearently OSM https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/12250584531, which gives the following properties:

As said, my goal was to display all the Dohanybolt in Hungary - since they usually sell Drinks and Snaks, which is helpful during bicycle-tours.

At least on the old S7, the beta does not function. I completely uninstalled Locus and then reinstalled the beta.

After the initial launch, I was able to log in with my Locus account, but then the version kept crashing and would not start.
I uninstalled it again and installed the latest release version 4.30.1, and everything is fine.

I won't risk it on my S10 for now.

The POIs usually come from LoPoi or OAM. If no category is displayed, I assume it's an OSM POI.

I do not have any OAM Maps installed. And it is also findable in web.locusmap.app
