Hello,

all my recorded tracks are missing from the app. Here is what I know:

• I've migrated from internal storage to SD card recently using OruxMaps app.
• After migration I might have replaced the folder by copying over the oruxmaps folder from internal storage, as I have realized that I have some unrelated files like .gpx or other random files I want to have on the SD card too.
• I don't remember if I have tested if everything works properly after migration.
• All the directories in the settings point to the SD card (see the attached screenshot).
• In tracklog menu I see only single folder named @All
• The oruxmaps/tracklogs folder on sd-card contains oruxmapstracks.db which has 165MB. If I open it using file-browser I use on the phone, it shows the table tracks contains 534 rows. Table folders contains three rows, one has folname equal to ---, other two have names of folders I have used for different things. It appears that all the data is still present in the database and settings of the app point to folder with the correct database.

This is everything I know. I'm sorry, I know it's not much, if I can provide some additional info, let me know. I'm not sure if the issue was caused by some of my steps when moving the db, or some update, or something else, so I have mentioned it just in case.

Please help with fixing the issue.

Some time ago, OruxMaps removed SOS feature because of new Google Play policy. I think SOS feature could be very useful feature for people who for example bike alone, and maybe it could save lives. Is there any way Oruxmaps will try to combat this? From what I read, there should be option to apply for exception in certain cases. Or maybe Oruxmaps could be distributed in another way. It's shame that developers have to pay Google for their stupid store because they have monopoly, and in return, Google applies this tyranny.

[Old phone:]

Hello,



I have recently bought new phone so I need to migrate old tracks. I have copied

Code Select Expand

/sdcard/oruxmaps from old phone to new phone. When I start app or open tracklogs, I get this error toast message:

Code Select Expand

Error in SQLite Tracks database!. No tracks are shown. Please give me any advice how can I fix this or find problem.



Old phone:

LG G3, LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7)

OruxMaps 7.2.5 from website



New phone:

LG G7, Android 8

OruxMaps 7.3.4 from store



Note: I get same error message when starting new version even with clean install and no oruxmaps directory. (Possibly because it's before asking for permission to access files.)

Note2: I can't install version from old phone to new phone to try if it would work, because I don't have .apk.



EDIT: I found 7.2.5 on official Oruxmaps website. It works, so there is some difference between those versions.

Hi,

Would it be possible to add setting of number of tiles to render? (Increasing it would probably consume more battery, so don't change default setting.)

Possible uses:

• When you are using vector maps and scrolling too look at neighboring areas, it is really slow. Higher setting would make moving map much nicer experience if surrounding areas are pre-rendered.
  
• I sometimes change zoom level to higher number (like 15 or 16), and lower "percentage zoom", so I can see big area with extreme detail. But when I zoom out to less than 50 percent, borders of screen are not covered with map.
  

Improvements on this idea (some of these are maybe overkill, but some would be nice):

• rectangular "render areas" (taking screen rotation into account) - because phones don't have square screens
  
• automatic option to fill screen + user set border (in %)
  
• render tiles in direction of moving screen first

Hi,

In text to speech setting menu there is time zone change item. There are zones Z1-Z4, but instead of zone Z5, there is Z1. (I'm only guessing it's a bug. I don't personally use this feature, I just noticed it when browsing settings.)



I'm using Slovak language but this option is in English, so it is probably bug in default English text.
