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.

@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?

[michaelbechtold]

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

4.33.0.1: I like the cross promotion ;-)

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.

It has not been resolved on my Xiaomi.

I have the same problem when I click on GPS/compass; the application crashes in Beta 4.33.0.1
I have Samsung S24 Ultra with Android 16

Never noticed it at/during start. Only during zoom in/out and only sometimes, but regulary whenever I use the App, which is almost daily. [Edit]: Here another example.

testing 4.33.0.1 beta
- My library: track preview is quite small, map size defined by their bounding box get only ~20% of vertical screen and additionally get covered by the (multiline)name. I suggest to make some categories waypoints, interval and details collapsable, at least they are almost empty or rarely of use IMHO but waste a lot of screenspace.
- route planner: planning at home..using 'Navigation/ guidance' and 'close' , then re-route doesn't work, everything is lost. I would like to be able to edit routing-details and continue planning, otherwise the temporary-route would be of no use, would be a petty for all the efforts.
- suggestion for routing-profiles
    - road or cycling in general: add 'stick to cycle-routes'
    - hiking, walking: add 'stick to hiking-routes'
  I often prefer those routes as otherwise you might get routed along annoying or boring roads with traffic, traffic lights, small space, non looking pedestrians, etc. or you are facing buildings instead of nature

@Agus , @Morris75 amd others with crash in GPS/Compass screen
Unfortunately, I still do no see an automatic crash report on the Crashlytics system, and I'm personally unable to simulate this issue. May someone create and send me a log after the crash by this method? Thanks!

@T-mo
"track preview" > you talk about clicking on the map in My library, that opens a full-screen view to the track with a small map at the top right?
