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

[MartyMcFly89]

4th, while I am at it - when using search function in folders which shows nearest points, sorted by nearest, selecting 2000, sometimes even 1000, it often shows this message (screenshot added). The message stays even when I select wait and the points have already been shown.
The only solution is to close and reopen the app.
Not always, I tried the same points now after restarting the app and though it shown the message (I selected WAIT), it didnt show it again.

, selecting 2000, sometimes even 1000

are 1000 needed? I guess LM is choking on the large number

I expected this kind of reply. First, the problem I am encountering is not that it takes longer, but that it gives the error message which sets the app (or phone) in a kind of vicious cycle of the endless message long after they are shown.

Second, in a big cities, I will use an example of Prague because it is familiar to me, 1000 caches around a point (Václavák) is rougly 4.5km radius, which is barely enough to create a day trip. If I include lab caches, which are very dense in the big cities, then we are on 1.5km or 2km radius for 1000 points.

Thirdly, these explanationa are moot, the option to select nearest saved points, to select 1000 or even 2000, it is there in Locus and should work.

Edit: Fourth, if you have all your points in 1 folder, it is easy to just use the folder's "display first X points". But if you habe the points sorted by folders, for example a)lookout towers b)castles c)climbing caches d)anything
Then you have to use "nearest points" feature.

As always during last 12 years, thank you Menion for addressing my technical issue.

By version I meant the Play store one, the app tells me it is 4.36.1

Here is inaccurate screenshot for the 3rd issue. It happened to me yesterday on a short trip around my town, but I did not make a screenshot.

So, what I wanted to describe as the third issue is this:
1)you are standing cca 500m from a point
2)gps is running, track recording is running and you are looking at the screen
3)you tap on the point
4)the number next to the blue arrow should say a number around 500m, as that is the distance you are from the point
5)instead, it is saying 0
6)what is more, if you keep moving towards the point, the distance number starts to increase, as if Locus calculated the distance not to the selected point, but from the point where you physically were at the time of tapping on the point

Never had it happen before this 4.36.1 update, since it, dozens of times.

[MartyMcFly89]

Managed to experience the 3rd issue again few times today.

As the screenshots show, the closer I get to that selected point, the distance raises instead of getting lower.

When I tap elsewhere and on the point again, it shows correct distance.

Is there any known problem with the Chart widget in the Dashboards?
I tried to use it for the first time in a while, but no matter whether I did Navigation or Guidance - the widget stayed empty (not even a message or X/Y axis without content).

I'm having a problem with the current beta version 4.36.1.5.

When I try to change a planned route (reroute), the map responds extremely slowly. Zooming, panning – everything is severely delayed. When I move a shaping point, it moves extremely slowly, as if in slow motion. Recalculating the segment is also very slow. It's almost impossible to edit the route precisely, and it's very tedious. This is particularly the case with routes that have a lot of shaping points (more than 20).

After downgrading to the previous version, 4.36.1.4, everything runs smoothly and quickly as usual. After updating again to 4.36.1.5, the problem has returned.

I've also tested it on my second device, and it behaves in exactly the same way.

So it's definitely down to the version! I'll have to stick with 4.36.1.4 for now and hope that the problem doesn't crop up again in the next beta.

When I search for a location, a pop-up window appears with the results. A bookmark in the form of a circle with an arrow also appears.
Unfortunately, this circle is often hidden beneath the window. When I drag the window down, I can see it. When I let go, it moves back up. If I drag it all the way down, the search results and the circle both disappear.
Therefore, I have no way to jump to the location I'm searching for.

5th report, this has been bugging me for a while. When planning track, adding a via point (thru tap moving the red circle or the blue squares), while it recalculates the track back and forth to another via point, you cannot zoom. If you zoom, it freezes the app. Tapping wait does not help.

Long (car) tracks can take a long time to finish recalculating, so zooming meanwhile is using the time while you wait for planner to recalculate. But you cannot, it crashes.

@MartyMcFly89
3rd issue, problem with distance > thanks, fixed. This was happening only when you tapped on more points in the row.

5th issue, Route planner - still the public 4.36.1? Hmm, weird. Please wait on soon comming 4.37 and give a try there. Then I'll look at it if the problem persists. Thanks.

@slarti76
chart in the dashboard > I'm not aware of any problem. Check mainly if you use the chart for navigation and not for the track recording.

@Graf Geo
slowdown > I think I've found a reason, so I believe it is fixed now.

@freischneider
I'll inform my colleague @Marek Scholtz , he will look at it, thanks.
ah no, I see the problem. Will look at it, thanks.

Search/addon menu is much smoother now. Thanks!
