Re: [APP] - version 4.35.+ ( 06/2026 )

[Tapio]

Situation: Library is open, a track panel is shown.

What do you think about that dual behaviour - I think it's useful:

a) Go back (Android): No change. Go back to library.
b) Swipe panel down: Leave library and go into map view - with that last track shown and centered.

Same with points.

Just noticed that Map Overlays are not stored anymore when turning off:
Previously, I could turn off overlay and then turn it on again, and the previous overlay was restored.
Now, everytime I turn overlay on, I have to select the overlay I want again. Quite annoying. Not sure, with which version that started, though.

I'm also having problems with the overlay. I had a Strava Headmap online overlay. It's gone now. I tried to select it again, but it won't work. I also noticed an error message.

@Graf Geo
Augmented reality crash > thanks, fixed

@Tapio
white overlay > interesting, I've never noticed it. I've hopefully found a reason for this. Let me know if fix helped also on your side.

Dual return from point/track screen > too unpredictable on me. Use "center" button to get quickly to the main map screen.

@Erelen
track at high zoom level > this is old performance optimisation. Android had trouble with long tracks drawn with symbols at high zoom level, so the symbols are disabled.

Map overlay > give a try in the next version.

map problem > hmm, it seems like a problem of the app loading a certain map. Could you share the map with me? Thanks.

Thanks for another update.
I have reported an error to the help desk. Should I post it here as well?
Thanks,  Mark

[Erelen]

 - white overlay in vector maps on high zoom
 - problem with small kml
 - "No map selected" in overlay pannel after off-on
All of them is ok in 4.35.0.3! Thanks!

Black tracks on high zoom - now they has right coloring. Thanks! Right colors, but no arrows - this is a reasonable compromise.

 - fix: main menu no longer visibly jumps when opening
The main menu now appears very smoothly (I don't remember if I noticed any issues before). But the Map-screeen content menu always appears jerkily (the problem appeared not in the current beta, but much, much  earlier). Example: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ndobf2KU8QuDo8x49

@Mark_Again
you have used "Upload to support" option from the app? Then yes, "ID" of the report + short info about the problem (optional) is useful. Thanks.

@Erelen
"Map screen content" uses the old solution in the background. There has always been this problem, and I believe it will be improved over time, once we change how this panel is handled in the background.

Everything is working again with version 4.35.0.3.

@Menion
Here is a link to the help desk and the response.  I'm not sure if this is what you need.  Please let me know if I can provide anything else.

Thank you, Mark

[Menion]

Hi Mark,
but this problem should already be solved in the recent app version. You still have this problem, and the "back" press returns to the main map screen instead of the "Search screen" with the active top-right menu?

[Mark_Again]

Search/OtherPOIs causes error.
Pressing the back arrow twice brings back the search options.  Perhaps this is normal.
Thank you,  Mark

[slarti76]

- fix: (SILVER) map overlay panel showed "No map selected" after turning the overlay switch off and back on

Confirmed, thx!

[Graf Geo]

Search/OtherPOIs causes error.

What sort of error? For me, 'Search/Other POIs' opens the page with the search term input field just as normal.

The only thing that's been a bit of a nuisance recently is this:
I go to the global search. After clicking the hamburger menu in the top right-hand corner, the selection page with search locations, co-apps, etc. opens a bit jerkily or with a flicker.

[Mark_Again]

I guess that what I expect to see is the hamburger menu at the top right. If I click on the 0 the search closes. I can get back to the hamburger menu by clicking the back arrow twice. I'm probably confused.
Thanks, Mark
