POI alert on photos > heh, funny problem. Exclude geotagged photos from POI alert? Is this a solution you always want?

Yes, ideally optional (if anyone would like to be notified when photos are taken). In any case, I don't want to be alarmed when I take a photo.

Waiting during start > hmm, some of you are not patiente  . App does a "vacuum" task on the database > result should be a lot lot faster access to data. On my own database, it took around 2 minutes, so I expected a very low number of users will have to wait too long.

@Menion - +5 minutes here waiting. I guess I wasn't expecting the startup time to be any different to other startups - just small text "update of databases" - could provide better warning to expect longer delay. But why on 2nd startup did it run immediately then? Was "vacuum" only once-off?

Same here. I gave up after 3 Minutes stuck at 52% and killed the app. Some indicator that the App is not stuck or frozen would be helpful. The restart after the kill also went *a lot* faster

Thanks guys. I've improved this. During start > no change will happen next time. I'll make this "Optimise database" task optional somehow.

Maybe an option somwhere around the clear cache in the menu? That would be the place I would look for such an option.

Hello Menion,

since a while sometimes the complete map is covered with hill top POI when zooming. Zooming in/out helps but I cannot use this zoom level.

Three days and Google is still testing and blocking the release ... hmm, nice, I love it 

Enough time for fine-tunning.

@WildWortWechsel
this "hills everywhere" happens to you often? I've noticed something similar during start. Is this your case?

Fingers crossed: the indefinite hang when switching off gps usage (then need to kill on Android level, 1, 2, 3 restarts until proper start, also on my S25u) seems gone

Hello.
The problem persists when I select the compass with GPS enabled on Xiaomi 15T Pro (Android 16).

I can confirm that. It's the same with my Poco F5.

The problem has been resolved at Xiaomi.
