Re: [APP] - version 4.36.+ ( 09/2026 )

[Pcmann]

Hello,
Yesterday I had an unpleasant experience while searching for caches with Locus. All resolved caches are in the Unresolved folder, which I regularly update and upload to my mobile phone, the path is \\: Galaxy S24+ Device \Internal Storage\ Android\ Media\ Unresolved. This path is also set in Locus in the System Manager settings / Custom subdirectory. So far everything worked and resolved caches were displayed in Locus. After the last update, Locus stopped displaying these caches on the display and only displays caches via the "Live Map". I see the uploaded cache folder in the Media folder. I don't know if the problem is with Google or Locus, or where I should upload the folder so that Locus can load it. Thanks.

I managed to solve the problem by reinstalling Locus, but it is quite depressing to reinstall Locus after the update to display the solved caches.

But what I did not find was where to edit the configuration file config.cfg. I use GC Summary icons to edit the cache icons and to use it, I need to edit the parameter "geocaching_icon_pack", and change it to "geocaching_icon_pack=GC-summary.zip". But I did not find this parameter in the new config.cfg.

Hello Menion,

in the version 4.36.0 place names are doubled and the duplicates have moved about 220 km to the north-east.
Depending on the zoom level the duplicates are sometimes shown and sometimes not. E.g in reality Klagenfurt lies about 230 km in the south-west of vienna but is shown only 30 km away.
The issue occurs only with LoMaps, not with OpenAndroMaps. I faced the issue only with the map of Austria.

Best regards
Lucas

... same issue with 4.36.1. Re-downloading the Austrian LoMap doesn't help either.

Hi!

I am experiencing intermittent dropouts when displaying and recording sensor data (cadence and power output) transmitted from my Bosch Performance Line SX e-bike.

Setup & Troubleshooting already performed:
Locus Map runs in the foreground.
All battery optimizations and background power-saving restrictions for Locus Map have been completely disabled on the device (Poco F7 Ultra).

Observed Behavior:
The cadence (RPM) display sporadically drops (displays -) for several seconds during the ride.
Power (Watts) values are not continuously recorded, resulting in missing data points in the track logs.

Expected Behavior:
Continuous, uninterrupted display and logging of cadence and power sensor data.

Environment:
Device: Poco F7 Ultra
App: Locus Map 4.36 & 4.36.1
Connected Hardware: Bosch E-Bike (Performance Line SX) with latest firmware


Additional Information & Testing Assistance:
I understand that your team may not have a Bosch e-bike available for hands-on hardware testing and might be developing this integration without a direct test setup.

I would be very happy to assist you in troubleshooting this issue! I can readily provide recorded .fit files, debug logs, or help test beta builds if needed. Please let me know what data or logs would be most useful.

I'm a bit annoyed. I've (unfortunately!) installed the latest release version, 4.36.1. It has the code number 1221, so it's more recent than the latest beta version, 4.36.1.1_1220. That's why I (foolishly) assumed it would at least be up to date with the latest beta version.

Unfortunately, improvements that were important to me and included in the beta are not included in the newer release version. For example, the auto-pause, which is now triggered again after just 15 seconds (in the beta, this had been increased to one minute).

I then wanted to reinstall the beta, which is only possible after uninstalling the current release version. Or so I thought. Unfortunately, the beta cannot be installed afterwards; I've had this problem before, see here.
Somehow, Locus isn't being uninstalled properly or completely, because as I inevitably had to reinstall the new release version, I noticed that I didn't have to log in again, didn't need to import a backup, etc. So all that was still there. Is it because the 'Keep xxx MB of app data' box was ticked? Does this option save not only tracks, waypoints, maps, etc., but also account details, settings, version, etc.? Do I have no choice but to deselect this option during uninstallation so that I can then install an older version?

Or what do I need to do to ensure that Locus is uninstalled cleanly and completely so that I can install a previous version?

@Graf Geo
photos over map - thanks for the feedback. I've improved the system a little. Selection on the map now excludes the track, it also directly opens the photo with the full track gallery, long-click to center on the photo also reduce the height of the track panel

huge amount of photos - this is not yet solved, I'm waiting for ideal idea in my mind 

old Beta > heh, sorry. I wanted to publish really only verified fixes, not a many features that are "in process". New beta will be tomorrow for sure! And yes, the "Keep app data" tick caused it. It saves the whole app settings. Simply > do not uninstall if it is not really necessary.

@Pcmann
sorry for an "unpleasant experience", unfortunately, it is not clear to me what the problem was. What was inside this "unresolved" folder that app was unable to load?

config.cfg - no longer exists. All settings are available in the app's expert settings.

@luce
labels on the map > interesting problem. We are unable to simulate anything like this. Does it happen at all zoom levels where this text is visible? Also with any other labels, or just "Klagenfurt"? A little mystery ...

@Titanyus
thanks for testing and offering help. There is one best way > in the Friday, install Locus Map in Beta version (link in my signature, new version at Friday, simply update, no re-install!). Then, in the settings of the added bike/sensor, enable "Record raw data to file". Do a short ride where this problem happens. After the ride, stop the bike connection and long-click on the app main menu button > "Upload to support" and write to me an report ID. Looks complicated, but it is easy. Thanks.

Perhaps, as a first simple solution, an option called 'show/hide photos on track details' in the settings? (Not the same as the existing 'show media' setting)? Ideally placed in the track info panel?

"omlouvám se za "nepříjemný zážitek", bohužel mi není jasné, v čem byl problém. Co bylo v této "nevyřešené" složce, kterou aplikace nemohla načíst?"

Problém byl v tom, že do složky Neodlovené si dávám kešky, které jsem vyluštil, nebo které mně zajímají v místě kam jedu. Stalo se to, že den před odjezdem jsem aktualizoval  Locus na 4.36.1.1 a po restartu Locusu, ten přestal načítat a zobrazovat keše z této složky. Pomohlo až vymazání nainstalované verze Locusu a vrácení se k původní verzi co byla předtím nainstalována. Pak se začaly mnou vyluštěné keše zase na displeji zobrazovat.


"config.cfg - již neexistuje. Všechna nastavení jsou k dispozici v expertním nastavení"

Soubor GC Summary icons, který jsem nainstaloval z Locus obchodu je nainstalovaný v Locusu viz cesta \\:Zařízení Galaxy S24+ \Interní paměť\Android\data\menion.android.locus\files\Locus\icons\GC-summary.zip. Přesto ale se u icon keší na displeji Locusu nezobrazuje velikost, obtížnost, terén a jestli je už vyluštěná či nikoliv.
