Re: [APP] - version 4.31.+ ( 8/2025 )

The track editor is also equally broken for me like the track chart because the bottom buttons are overlapping with the standard Android buttons, making them impossible to tap. PS yes, just confirming others experience I didn't fully read.

MapGooglePlayAfa_4.31.3.10_1195_beta -
I updated to the latest test version (Honor 20 phone, Android 9). The app keeps crashing when trying to perform various functions. The restore error from backup persists. I saved the Locus and Logcat logs.

MapGooglePlay_4.31.3.10_1195_beta (although probably not version specific) - tap visible track > tap bottom "I" (info) > tap+hold "<" or ">" to continually move through trackpoints > crash - see screen cap. There was nothing else unusual I was doing at the time; simply checking timestamps of a recorded track. I was not visualizing any large # points or tracks despite what the Solution suggested.

Last Locus beta version is constantly crashing when trying to add a new Geocaching waypoint by projection.

Furthermore the + button ist partially hidden by navigation bar if there are already waypoints inside a listing.

Issue with online maps switching appeared in 4.31.3.6 (and still exists in .10). In .5 - everythong was ok.

1) When switching from one online map to another via Quick Map Switch, the new map doesn't become the first one in the Quick Map Switch list.
2) After switching, tiles on the screen don't redraw to new map. New tiles appear only if you move the map or change zoom.
3) When trying to switch the last two online maps by long-pressing Map-screen content, something strange also occurs (likely a consequence of point 1).

I'd also like to remind you that the "navigate from a selected point" feature hasn't worked for a long time. I doubt it ever worked at all.

Menion, any ETA on a beta? I would really like to be able to use the Track Editor again Thx!

If, while moving towards the selected route point, another route point is closer, it will become the destination.

Control keys in the top left corner are obscured when WMS card
Everything is fine when I double-click to show the top bar.

4.31.3.11 - confirmed (too) bottom buttons on track chart & track editor screens are now accessible again, thanks

[Erelen]

- fix: incorrect switch between online maps

Yes, solved! Thanks!

New problems:

1) If I can scroll track/point info - еhe bottom buttuns flies funny :) If info panel isn't scrollable - bottom buttons is under phone navigation panel (almost unaccessable). https://photos.app.goo.gl/79aA98Prv7iMUCCd7

2) This very handy trick doesn't work anymore :( https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/38992-reduce-the-size-of-the-track-info#comment-156587

3) All top panels in navigation mode (next turn, stats, street) is still under Android notification panel.

4) While in the root settings, try clicking the "Go to root" icon (the folder with a house in the upper left corner). This will open the first section (Controlling) or the last one you were in (if you navigated through the settings first). You won't be able to go back unless you completely exit the settings.

One more thing:
I already brought this up a while ago (don't find the post), and it's still the case: When leaving the "Insert/edit trackpoint" function, the map jumps back to the initially selected point, which may be quite a ways away from the current position. For me, the natural thing is to edit track points along the route in chronological direction, so the jump back is quite annoying. Menion, when I brought that up before, you answered that this was probably due to some other change - so I'm not sure now whether you tried to fix that (and it didn't work) or forgot about it?

Similarly, while this was a new behaviour, it was always the case that when removing a section, you would sometimes be taken to different position. What happens here, I think, is this: Say you're on point 100 and remove points 50-100. Then Locus repositions you on point 100 again which is the former point 150, far far away. This should be easy to fix, I'd assume.
