Did a reinstalation anyhow. Pretty hassel free thanks to having everything saved at root of internal storage.

Issue is gone, but I'm quite curious what caused it.

Having 10.1.3 GP Donate installed on my Xperia 1 III, I just noticed the "Manage Waypoints/Tracks/Routes" pages close within seconds basically making it impossible to do anything.
Can't load anything from the lists, can't edit, can't rearange, ....
A pretty severe issue for me!
I can't say exactly when this issue appeared since I haven't used Oruxmaps in a while.
Strange thing is, my wife has the same version of Oruxmaps installed on her Xperia 10 III with no such issues. We have very similar configurations. Both have Android 13 installed.

I have tried to change profiles, create new profiles based on factory profile, restart phone, force close the app and empty the cache, ... nothing...
The only major change I've done recently is to change storage from app private location to root of internal storage, but that I have also done to my wifes instalation.

Any ideas?
I would appreciate if I don't need to reinstall Oruxmaps to make it work.

Thanks!

PS I will try one of my profiles on my wifes installation and one of hers on mine, but it is getting to late in the evening, so another day...

Hi and thanks for the answer Orux,
Both maps are EPSG 3006 and links are provided in my first post, but I will send you a private message with all info needed to test, including the URL for the base map with my private key in it.

Hi,
Sorry for maybe strange headline, but I had problems formulating my problem in a single, short sentence. I hope I will be able to describe it more understandable below.

So, I have a WMS map that for some reason has it's zoom levels "shifted"  a lot compared to other maps. I know zoom levels are dependent on tile size, but compared to other maps with same tile size the zoom is still off.
My main problem is that I want too combine this WMS as an overlay on another map, but getting strange results due to the differences in zoom levels.
What I would like to do is to "push" the WMS map "down" a couple of zoom levels, say the tiles showing in level 10 should appear on level 15 instead. Is this possible?

The two maps I try to combine can be combined some how, since the  combination is the same as here:
https://lavinprognoser.se/

The overlay WMS is this:
https://nvgis.naturvardsverket.se/geoserver/lavinprognoser/wms
Getcapabilities:
https://nvgis.naturvardsverket.se/geoserver/lavinprognoser/wms?request=getcapabilities
EPSG 3006

Unfortunately the base map contains a private key, so I don't want to share it here, but it's free of charge to use with a free account:
https://opendata.lantmateriet.se/#apis?api=OpenDataWMTS&version=v1
(unfortunately Swedish only)


Hope I made myself clear, otherwise I'm happy to answer any questions if I can.
Thanks for any help!

Sorry, but I can't resist bumping this thread. Something I have wondering about for along time. Also for WMTS maps.

Hi,
When dealing with dynamic data like weather, one might like to refresh related tiles on a regular basis depending on how often the provider updates their data.
Therefore I would like to request the possibility to tell Oruxmaps to automatically refresh the tiles on a, by the user, set time interval.
the most simple implementation could be an option in the global settings to refresh all tiles on active map(s), but this would force refreshing of tiles for maps not needing it causing unnecessary/redundant downloads, not desirable for many data plans.
Better, but more complicated, would be to activate and set time intervals individually for each map when creating composite maps (I guess the most useful way of using weather tiles together with a base map). So when using a composite map with dynamic data like weather, the weather tiles will refresh regularly while the base map does not (using the weather map without being part of a composite map might be to complicated to make automaticaly refreshable, individually).
What do you say?
(I had some difficulty to find a good way to express my thoughts, I really hope I made myself sufficiently clear.)

Thanks!

Hi,
I just discovered RainViewer and locked at the API page. As it seems, it would be possible to use RainViewer tiles with different maping tools like Oruxmaps. There is only one problem. The URL:s contains the dynamic parameter {ts}, Unix timestamp. For what I know Oruxmaps cannot handle that at the moment.
The list of avaliable timestamps are updated every 10 minutes, contains about 13 timestamps in even 10 minutes increments, including the last occurred.
Would it be possible to implement the functionality to utilize such dynamic URL:s into Oruxmaps?
I understand this can be quite complicated, and I guess the numer of possible dynamic URL:s are virtually endless (not just using Unix timestamps), but I figured it doesn't hurt to ask.

I have just sent an email to the RainViewer support and requested the possibility to load the most recent tiles without any dynamic parameters in the URL.

Thanks!

Case concluded!

Crash was due to a large track I recorded a while ago and not removed, then forgot about, in combination with this WMTS map. If I had the map really zoomed out it worked (how I rediscovered the loaded track), but zooming in made it crash.

Hello!



Could you post your WMTS map url?

Hi,



First of, thanks for all hard work you put on the development of this excellent app, and adding a lot of suggested features given by us users!

Quite recently I discovered a small one that I know was requested long ago, and I assume it was added almost equally long ago but without me noticing until now. It's the dashboard control "Height above ground". For us non-commercial pilots it's a good rough indication of ground clearance.

Now to my request:

At the moment "Height above ground" is always using GPS altitude. I would like to be able to use the barometer altitude given by either internal or external barometer. Of course in an aircraft one always have a certified barometric altimeter so one can rather easily make sure the barometric altitude in Oruxmaps to be the same.



Thanks again!

Hi,

I have currently Donation v7.5.1 installed on a rooted Xperia ZL with Android 5.1.1 and noticed that when trying to load my WMTS maps Oruxmaps crashes. On v7.4.22 they worked, don't remember if I tried with v7.5.0.

I have emptied the map cache, app cache and successfuly edited the WMTS entries (removing the automatically added HTTP header "User-Agent" so it would be added back with correct orux version). But none of these actions helped.



Thanks!

Tested in new OruxMaps 7.4.22 and now it works to find offline routes on my old Xperia XL. However, I neded to remove the map and restart Oruxmaps then re-download it before it worked (only ones though).

But now I see another issue:

I now have three instanses of the "fastest/shortest" pair and two instanses each of "car", "bike" and "foot" in the drop-down menus (only for graphhopper offline).

Hello;



Maybe I have found a solution.



Please, test the last beta version,





orux

Tested on the Z3, and it seems to work. Thanks!

The folder had content, but one file was empty, city_nodes.txt.

I removed the entire folder, entered the path dialogue just to let it reset and downloaded it again. The path did update automatically this time, but I still get the error.

I select "search route", select start and stop locations (both directly on roads) and hit the blue check mark. Error.

Thanks;



I have found that some libraries was not added to the release apk. Because of that, it is not working fine.



A fix soon!

Hi again,

Now I tested with Oruxmaps 7.4.20 GP with graphhopper map of Sweden from 2019-02-24 on five different phones:

Xperia ZL C6503 Android 5.1.1

Xperia Z3 D6603 Android 6.0.1

Xperia Z5 Compact E5823 Android 7.1.1

Xperia X F5121 Android 8.0.0

Galaxy A3 2016 SM-A310F Android 7.0



I am sorry to say it only works on the Xperia X, on all the others I get the above error. On the ZL and Z3 the Donation version are installed, while the free on the other ones. Map correctly installed and path pointing to correct location.



Does it have anything to do with Android version, the X being the only one with Android 8?

Thanks! [emoji106]
