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

If the photos aren't on your system twice - you may check Google Photos - refresh media store (ask Google). Imo Locus should add such an option at the place where we can clear cache.

@balloni55 it is simply. First photo (without a "Device" icon) is your manually added and the second is from the new tool that display ALL photos in defined time interval. I just have to create some kind of "deduplication". Will look at it ...

Last year I planned two short hikes with Locus "Routenplanner" and usally it looks like pic. 1 (Himmelstädter Runde). But today I saw that route 2 (Retzbach) looks like I already hiked it with times etc. but I did not. Is this a fault or did I something wrong?

@WildWortWechsel: You're not doing anything wrong. At some point (I can't quite remember when), a feature was introduced to add 'fictitious' timestamps to planned routes.

I'm not particularly happy with it either. It might help to better gauge the stages of the planned tour, but I'm not a big fan of it. Especially as it makes it harder to distinguish between planned and recorded tours afterwards. But I suppose we'll just have to live with it.

I think it's good that way. My planned routes always start with an R.

Thank you. A quite unexpected feature ...

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

The bug has disappeared with the update to Beta 4.33.0.2. There are no more crashes when using the GPS/compass screen.

Many thanks to the developers!

Thanks for the update (Beta 4.33.0.3). 

The new chart overview for the tracks looks nice, but I'm now missing the second elevation chart where the x-axis can be zoomed (screenshot 1). That was very helpful, as the charts in the overview are very compressed for longer routes. Is that actually going to be removed permanently? That would be a real shame.

(The small graphs for speed, pace, etc. show nothing but noise, at least on hikes. These should also be zoomable, screenshot 2).

Version 4.33.0.3 (13.3.2026)
  - chg: new screen with track charts

oh wow - excellent - far more readable than previous single chart. I hope the next step will be zoom-ability & ability to return to map from tapped point on chart.

The slope chart could do with numbers on the vertical axis. It also needs vertical "expansion" - expand further to top & bottom of chart.

When viewed in the track summary, any slope (green) is vertically compressed so much as to make almost meaningless.

I totally agree. The zooming of the elevation chart is one of the major features I use on my long distance hikes ( >1000 kilometers) to plan my daily tours depending on the expected elevation. On the other hand I never used Steigung/Gefälle, Tempo or Pace on a hike. Please bring back the elevation zoom.
