Over time I have added various "Mapsforge map styles" and now have about a dozen of them, but they are all in a chaotic order.
I wonder if it is possible to insert a function that allows you to order the list of "Mapsforge map styles" as you like, in the same way as the order of voice alerts.

IMHO this is the very ultimate feature lacking in Oruxmaps app!
I realize that it would be very difficult to implement but it would really be the most important feature to add both when Oruxmaps is used for car driving and when it is used for outdoor sports (walking, mountaineering, cycling , etc.)

I agree that this feature would be useful. E.g.: the Freizeitkarte map works with its own theme, while the Openandromaps map works with the Elevate theme. The application of themes to the maps, which have not been developed specifically for them, is sometimes possible, sometimes impossible, sometimes inadvisable because the interpretation of the data is wrong.

I updated to the beta version 10.1.10 Beta 1 and, in the case of a car track, the route track function inserts the waypoints correctly again.  However, if I use the track route function with the walking parameter, even now the waypoints are no longer inserted when I click ok.

Me ne vengono in mente al volo un paio:
- quando deve pronunciare l'orario attuale dice "sette ore, trenta minuti" invece di "sono le sette e trenta" o "ore 7 e trenta"
- nel ritmo medio dice "minuti per chilometri" invece di "minuti per chilometro"
- dice "altitudine in salita" invece di "dislivello in salita"
- dice "altitudine in discesa" invece di dislivello in discesa"

Se puoi correggerle, grazie.
Se posso dare una mano per la traduzione o il manuale o altro per diffondere l'utilizzo di OM in Italia, sono a disposizione

I would like to correct the Italian translation of some of the voice prompts that the app gives when following a track. Can anyone tell me how these fixes can be made? How and where are the warning texts (eg concerning average speed, altitude, time, etc.) stored?

After taking a photo, you need to save the image by clicking the checkmark, otherwise the image will be deleted.

I recently noticed the same behavior several times even though the GPS showed I was on track. So it seems that the problem is Oruxmaps and not GPS.

I agree. That's a very good idea for a next step forward.

I agree 👍

@Tronpo: you are right!
The very best feature in betas 9.0: now you can transform a trace into a route!
Thank you Orux for all the centuries to come!

Unfortunately, at this moment it is not possible to have voice directions when you load a track (a series of GPS points without waypoints) and not a route (a series of GPS points with waypoints that can be followed) because the voice directions are created by waypoints.
In my opinion there are two workarounds:
1) manually add the correct waypoints (turn right, turn left, etc.) into the track;
2) load the track on the display and with the tool "draw route" retrace it by hand point by point. Brouter will create a route with the appropriate waypoints. There is no possibility to automatically convert a track into a route.

Thanks Orux for the new beta!

Could you consider creating a menu item in which to choose how many kilometers a distance marker is inserted within the route?

In general, could you consider it could be useful to create different profiles dedicated to different activities? Hiking, mountain biking and driving a car are different activities that require many different settings. So when you create a walking track, it is useful to have distance markers and voice alerts every kilometer, and certain data displayed in the dashboard. On the other hand, when you go by bike or by car you need a different overall behavior of the application (and also a different mapsforge style). All this many and different information could be inserted into different profiles so as to be quickly and easily applied all together when needed.

I don't think I will use this function.

But wait till you have a mother-in-law! 

[very important !]

And also (very important !), in OruxMaps access rights, grant GPS access as "permanently" (by default, it's granted "only" when OM active).

You are right! 

4) setting GPS access as "permanently" (by default, it's granted "only" when OM active) in OruxMaps
