Re: [APP] - version 4.33.+ ( 03/2026 )

Still seconds? 
I'm thinking about displaying some "Too many photos, zoom in to display" information, when 1000+ photos should be on the map. Such a huge amount of photos consumes battery/CPU and I'm not sure if the map is useful when no visible at all ...

Hi Menion,

I like the new halo effect 🙂

Unfortunately the App has Problems to start because it freezes. I have to kill the app in the settings before I can restart it. But at the next start it freezes again. Not always, but often.

Android 16
Pixel 10 pro XL
4.33.0.13

The description on the screenshot writes that it loads a track. Do you have any tracks on the map (a lot ot them)?

Let it be for a minute or two. If the same, and you will be able to open the app after restarting, give it a try and report a bug with the main menu long click > Upload to support.

Thanks. Weird, there were no changes in work with the database

I now have a white square in the notification bar instead of the Locus icon.

For me, the icon keeps switching between colored and black and white; I haven't been able to figure out why yetYou cannot view this attachment.

V 4.33.0.13
now, while track recording icon change from black and white to a white square

Hi Menion, thanks for the update. Great improvements! 👍🙂

However, I'm not too keen on the new track highlighting. Complementary colours are being used again, which looks better in some cases and worse in others, depending on the line colour. It's partly okay with thin, single-colour lines, but I also use wider lines with high transparency and an outline so that I can see the paths/roads underneath. (This option was introduced specifically for that purpose back then).
When highlighted, this sometimes looks very bold and overly colourful, which is visually unappealing and, on winding or angular tracks, can make the exact course difficult to discern at times (see screenshots). I found the subtle white outline in the previous version much more pleasant and better.

I know it won't be possible to find a solution that pleases everyone. Tastes vary and many may prefer to use only thin, single-colour lines, but perhaps as a compromise, two options could be offered in the Expert Settings (where you can also disable highlighting entirely): "Light" as in the previous version 4.33.0.12 and "strong" as it is now.

Further outdoor testing to follow. Have a lovely long weekend!

Hi Menion,

there are some tracks on the map, maybe 10. I waited five minutes without any progress during the start procedure, then I killed the App.

I rememberred the last time this happend and tried it today: I disabled the "zoom of all maps". Now the App starts without any problems, even when I switch the "global zooming" on again.

Calling a track from inside the track library, going to the full chart view, a click on the map still does not go to map view at that point.

@menion
The clipboard coordinates seems to be fine for the first tests    Thanks for bringing them back.

But I still miss the clipboard on another important screen. See attached picture. Without this old feature it takes me now some more extra steps. Please bring them back on the old page.

Thanks Wolfgang

Hi Menion,

2022 I hiked the Nord-Süd-Trail. I wanted to show it a friend, tipped on it and the new halo covered it completly. Maybe a smaller or a dynamic halo for longer tracks solve this?

Greetings!

Dear Menion,

related to the "ping" sound after taking a  photo for a POI: It is still there and it was so disturbing on my hike today. I had no net for several kilometes and the "ping" did not stop. I don't know why but even after switching the loudness to zero sometimes I heard this "ping". Because no other App was active I guess it came from Locus. Please make it possible to disable this "ping". I'm hiking to escape from noises around me (beside natural sounds).

I really like to support the locus community but for now I will stop taking POI/LoPoint photos.

@ WildWortWechsel: Sorry, but I don't hear any 'pling'. Maybe a problem with your device. Does anyone else hear that 'ping'?

Hi Graf Geo,

thank you for testing!

When I take a photo for a POI there is this "Ping"-sound I guess since 4.33.0.11. If I have no net it is repeating every minute or so. Nothing changed at my phone beside the new beta.

I took a video from this  but it is to large to upload it here.

Just to be precise, I'm talking about a photo for a LoPoint.

Just in this moment I'm writing this Locus did upload 5 photos I took in the afternoon and there was this annoying "Ping". (See second Screenshot - I even did set it to "lautlos" without any success.)

PS: I already took over 3000 LoPoint photos and never had this sound before.

Hi WildWortWechsel, I've just realised that I had that 'ping' sound when uploading photos on my new mobile phone at first too. I was able to turn it off in the Android settings like this:

Apps > Locus Map > Benachrichtigungen (dort zu Laufende Dienste scrollen) > LoPoints Fotos OFF.

See screenshot:

Thank you so much!

Edit: I just checked it and it was at "lautlos". Seems that I already changed it in the past ... obviously without success.

[WildWortWechsel]

Just playing around as a beta test and changed the "Funktionsleiste" at the right side. Afterwards some buttons were missing (see screenshot). I repeated it several times. This happens not always.
