Re: [APP] - version 4.32.+ ( 12/2025 )

[Menion]

No  ... I hope for at least a "basic" version. Android Auto (again) in the next row....

Menion, you have broken app language again. The old issue is back. Android 10.

- In settings, I set LM to english.
- App and themes are now in english. Good.

Restart LM.

- App is in english, but themes are now in OS language (german)
- In the language settings, German is highlighted.

Hello Menion,

related to map language, in Germany North are two cities with german and english names at the same time: Hannover and Braunschweig.

[voldapet]

@WildWortWechsel - You're right. For cities, both the local name and the English name are often displayed, which is particularly helpful for non-Latin scripts (and vice versa). However, the English names depend on the data source we use for map rendering (Thunderforest), so we don't have control over which cities include an English name.

@Tapio
Android 10-, it is a pain with languages. Another modification done now ... thanks and sorry!

[Menion]

Beta version 4.32.1.1 (16.1.2026) with minor fixes

- fix: import of not 100% valid GPX files
- fix: scale bar not changing when moving the map in low zoom level
- fix: incorrect app language on Android 10- in some cases

Since the update to version 4.32, I am experiencing frequent crashes in the route planner. If I move too fast, change too much or click on the 'wrong places' the app just freezes and restarts (and you loose the planned route). This also happens in the latest version 4.32.1.1

Yeah, seems so, the behaviour didn't change with the latest beta. After all only the themes show the wrong language, so no real problem.
Hmm, maybe my testing was flawed, it's OK now

I have a problem with themes using transparency. If areas are drawn with transparency (doesn't matter if using transparency with area or line colors or svg graphics, whith transpareny) I get visible tile borders, which is pretty annoying and ugly to my eyes. Happens with internal theme too (look at forest areas), but mainly with smaller maps. Germany North isn't affected by this, but for instance Brandenburg or other counties. Seems to me like a rendering bug. If I stop using transparency in my theme the tile borders are gone.

Old MF issue with IIRC no solution.

we were just looking on this few days ago with Petr and decided to do something with it after years ...

I have noticed the following problem with the current version:

Settings > Language & Units > Text-to-Speech: Locus crashes regularly.

This also happens in Audio Coach > Text-to-Speech.

Sure, it's a3cb44c74

It appears to be a memory issue. The app works for a while, then slows, typically when showing the magnifier glass. At that point it becomes unresponsive and reboots. Android by now also suggests to put the app in deep sleep because of frequent crashes.

The issue appears both on the phone (Samsung S22) and the tablet (Samsung Tab9FE). I turned logging off, but that did not make a difference.
