automatic clear of the cache images is already done for 30 days un-used directories (caches) that ARE NOT in the database.

"Also download gallery image" > downloads all images from all logs. Do you think it is possible to have single setup that fits 95+% of the needs regarding downloading of GC images (mainly for the logs)? I would like to avoid some extra settings here.

I love the route warning system and that I can use that with my TomTom routing addon in Locus.

[Menion]

You were able to get the warnings into routes planned in the TomTom add-on? Hmm, we did not publish the documentation how the warnings are stored in the track

Version 4.36.1.5 (30.10.2026)

• add: (SILVER) presets can start track recording, topic
• add: when navigation ends during track recording, Locus offers to save the recording or continue it (can be turned off in the recording profile), topic
• add: the track chart can show time of day on the horizontal axis, in the time zone of the track, topic
• chg: (SILVER) offline elevation is much faster and more reliable, and more precise where two elevation files meet
• chg: (SILVER) map shading appears faster when you move the map to a new area
• chg: offline LoPoints appear on the map while you move it, instead of half a second after you stop
• chg: a track recording stopped while the app is in the background stays paused until you open the app (Android 12 and newer)
• chg: if the app's folder can't be found at start, e.g. on a removed memory card, the app asks what to do instead of starting with empty data
• chg: if the storage is full at start, the app shows a low-space warning instead of asking for another folder
• chg: after a switch to a version without "All files access", the app offers to move your data into its own folder
• chg: the car screen shows "Initializing..." until the app on the phone is ready
• fix: requests from other apps, the watch or a background backup wait until the app has started, instead of failing
• fix: the app no longer reports a damaged database when its folder disappears during the start
• fix: a track recording that can't save because the storage is gone now tells you so
• fix: folders in Android/media and on memory cards can be chosen again in the folder choice at start
• fix: (SILVER) a newly added WMTS map with layers in different projections, such as OS Maps, draws right away instead of staying blank until you pick another layer
• fix: a missing custom folder, e.g. for maps, is reported once after the start
• fix: slope colours in the track chart stay correct when you zoom in, instead of turning red
• fix: the Premium screen no longer opens the purchase again when you return to it
• fix: the area outside a map no longer shows a blurred picture left over from the previous zoom
• fix: (SILVER) GC Offlinizer remembers the Live API image options after you restart the app
• fix: resetting the manual sort of folders now restores the alphabetical order
• fix: a folder moved into another folder no longer keeps its old manual position

Menion, I answered in https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/download-geocaching-log-images to keep discussion regarding Log images at one place ;-)

Version 4.36.1.5 (30.10.2026)

Now in test folder I see "4.36.1.5_1222_beta.aab".
Including, for example, /BUNDLE-METADATA/com.android.tools.build.obfuscation/proguard.map ;)

This appears to be a publishing mistake.

[Menion]

Ah, thanks, fixed. It is a file directly for Google Play. "APK" uploaded now.

[TrulloF]

The Search and Co-App menu is very sluggish and scrolling is not smooth at all. Can this be fixed?

[Andrew Heard]

4.36.1.6 - track chart - when tapping on + button at the bottom of screen when X-axis is set to Time or Time of Day and when there is a time gap in the track recording (as per previous bug report), only the top chart (for me Altitude) is zoomed in, the other charts (for me) Slope & Speed have no change to X-axis labels but their coloring changes. There is no problems with X-axis set to Distance.

Thanks, Menion! I know the route warnings aren't officially documented yet. The parameter itself (PAR_RTE_WARNINGS) is in locus-api, and I worked out the JSON from how Locus 4.36.1 handles the warnings of LoRouter routes, then tested it on my device. So I'm treating it as unofficial and expect it may change.

If you plan to publish the format, or a helper in locus-api, I'll switch to that right away. Thanks for the feature, it works really well with live traffic data.
