Hi Orux



Is it possible to store the online map cache on an external SD Card  (as we can for the Offline Maps )   ?   This would be really useful as internal memory is always under pressure. .  . .



If not, is this something that may happen in a future version - or is it made difficult by the Android system controls on SDCard use ?



(Running Android KitKat 4.4.2,  Sony Xperia  E3)



Thanks

ERRORES/BUGS / Waypoint - error in positioning ?
April 15, 2015, 05:47:42 PM
Hello Orux people - first, many thanks for a great app  (I even made a small donation :-)



I am learning how to create maps to load for offline use, and have successfully calibrated and loaded a number of maps so far using the Orux desktop program.  I though that I could check the accuracy of the calibration by creating some waypoints with known latitude/longtitude (determined from Google & Bing maps)  then displaying them on the maps to check that they appear in the correct place. Unfortunately they seem to be out by several 100 feet.     I first assumed that I had made errors in the map calibration, but when I visited the location in person, the GPS track is spot on.  Checking further, I have matched the Latitude/Longtitude from (1) Google & Bing maps, (2) the actual GPS figures recorded in the track GPX file and (3) the properties of the waypoint.   All three are the same to the 4th / 5th decimal place which I think is 10s of feet.  The maps (1) and the GPS (2) line up, but the waypoint (3) displays 500ft South West.    Am I missing something obvious, or is there a problem with the display of the waypoint ?



Thank you for any advice



Peter
