Hello @ all:

I also can confirm that the bug with black/white tiles when using mbiltes-maps and hillshading is solved in 9.0.1beta1. Thank you so much, Orux!

Hola Orux,

I have the same Problem that Andrea65 reportet in Post above with mbtiles-maps in RC3. There the maps have big black parts like missing tiles. It was not there in beta20 and is also not in 8.5.5GP oder 7.4.24. I also think it must be a bug in RC3.
Regards and thanks for fixing it.

Hola Orux,

it's me again. While working with beta8 I recognized that rendering of Geo-PDF maps is much more worse than in the GP-Version 8.0.7 and the web-Version 7.4.23. In nearly every Geo-PDF map many (up to half of the display) raster tiles are not rendered or shown in the map. It doesn't matter if you chose the orux PDF-Engine (that ist chosen by default) or you manualle chose the Andorid-PDF-Enginge. It happens in both cases and every Geo-PDF map I have. If necessary I can send you a screenshot.

Hello Orux,

for me also in beta8 the problem as described in the post before appears. We had that bug some betas ago and you were able to fix that.

One suggestion for Mapsforge POI search: would it be possible to search not just in the "Name" and also in the "ref" or other tags. I ask because search for emergency access points, which normally don't have a name but a ref, is not possible by ref. I tested in another app (Cruiser) and here it works. It would be nice if you could implement or fix that, because we use openandromaps, which contains all emergency access points in our region, for rescue operations. Thanks!

Hola Orux,

I also can confirm the 3D bug in the latest beta.

While working with tracks and waypoints I got the following problem: when I work with custom POIs in my created subfolders in POI-folder and chose POIs of one of the subfolders (e.g. POIs out of subfolder "guideposts") and after that I open the track manager then the same custom POI-subfolder than chosen before in the POI-section appears instead of the standard track-folder where my tracks are saved. When I now chose the standard Tracks-folder and after that open the POI-Folder, then here also the standard POI-folder is shown and not the one chosen before.

I use oruxmaps for many years now but this is the first time I found this problem. Maybe it is possible to seperate the structures of the folders/subfolders in POI and Tracks... I hope you understand what I mean, in English it ist a bit difficult to describe.

edit: it may also be helpful to split the function "remove tracks/waypoints" in Routes folder to "remove waypoints" in POI folder and "remove tracks" in tracks folder. With this function it would be possible to remove the waypoints and leave the tracks or so on on the map.

Hello Orux,

from me also a reply for beta4:

+ first of all, big compliment for the short time in which you react and implement wishes of us users!!!!!
+ choosing maps for thubnails works fine. Thank you so much for this great feature!
+ rendering speed is like before (beta3 and 8.0.5 GP), the map is shown as wished (no truncated labels)
- I also can confirm the "grid" mentionend in posts before, but just with openandromaps and openandromaps map themes. When I use the mapsforge map from http://www.freizeitkarte-osm.de/ and the theme from there, everything is fine. Maybe some more users can test this with other mapsforge maps & themes...
- 3D map works just for the first time use after starting the app. When you try a second time, the screen like posted above appears.

Hello Orux,

I haven't been here for some weeks (since I have Oruxmaps 8.0.4 from Playstore) and so I'm surprised of the great satellite information in Trip Computer View. Super, good work, really fine!

And the thubnails work too, with beta2. The Idea of Lenz in the reply #4 would also be a great improvement. If you could manage that the user could chose an offline map or custom WMS Service or another custom online provider of which the thubnails are created I would be happy.

Thanks in advance!

Hola Orux,

you're great! Thank you for the tip in #239, now it works. Keep on going like that! Oruxmaps is really the best android app for topographic maps!!!!

Hola Orux,

thank you for your quick answer. About WMS-T in #234: it works when I add "time=xxxx" in the app WMS-Creator in the app (beta38), but not so in the wms_services.xml file. I added the service like this (URL in xml):

Code Select Expand

<wms>
        <name>HKTK25 1990</name>
        <uid>4000</uid>
        <desc>historische TK25 zum 01.01.1990</desc>
        <url><![CDATA[https://geo4.service24.rlp.de/wms/hktk25.fcgi?&time=1990]]></url>
        <minzoomlevel>0</minzoomlevel>
        <maxzoomlevel>20</maxzoomlevel>
        <version>1.1.1</version>
        <layers>rp_hktk25</layers>
        <coordinatesystem>EPSG:4326</coordinatesystem>
        <format>image/png</format>
        <cache>1</cache>
        <tilesize>512</tilesize>
   </wms>
All other things are fine!

Hola Orux,

thank you for the solution in #225, it works with beta38.

One more question to wms-services (in both wms creator in oruxmaps app and wms_services.xml): is it possible to enable wms-t (time) services like this: https://geo4.service24.rlp.de/client/lf/lawa/, where you can have a look at old topographic maps by selecting the year. The wms-source for 1990 e.g. is "https://geo4.service24.rlp.de/wms/hktk25.fcgi?service=WMS&request=GetMap&layers=rp_hktk25&styles=&format=image%2Fpng&transparent=false&version=1.1.1&time=1990&height=512&width=512&srs=EPSG%3A3857&bbox=" Therefore I guess it needs to add the "time" filed. It would be great if you could manage this, because more and more wms-t services can be found.

While using the last betas I recognized that since beta 35 or so (I'm not sure) the automatic track thubnail function doesn't work any more. In beta33 it worked, in the later betas you just can see a blue track on a black background (maybe osm restrictions). I would also be haapy if you could fix this.

Thank you so much!

Hola Orux,

after the winter-break I'm back hiking and biking with Oruxmaps. This time I found 2 "bugs".

#1: I use the app (7.4.22, 7.5.8 GP and beta33) in German language. In beta 33, when I open the app and the maps are loading, the sentence "Karetendateien werden initialisiert" ist shown. Correctly it must be "Kartendateien...", so one e to much 

#2: I tried to add a new WMS Service from the German Federaly Mapping Agency to my WMS datas via the "wms_services.xml", but that fails. I put the data like this:

"<wms>
        <name>BKG - TopPlusOpen</name>
        <uid>2050</uid>
        <desc>BKG - TopPlusOpen</desc>
        <url><![CDATA[https://sgx.geodatenzentrum.de/wms_topplus_open?]]></url>
        <minzoomlevel>0</minzoomlevel>
        <maxzoomlevel>20</maxzoomlevel>
        <version>1.1.1</version>
        <layers>web</layers>
        <coordinatesystem>EPSG:4326</coordinatesystem>
        <format>image/png</format>
        <cache>1</cache>
        <tilesize>512</tilesize>
   </wms>"

When I enter the wms-path in the WMS-Creator in the App (beta33), it works. Means, the WMS is shown and added as wished.

Can you please check what is wrong with the XML-data? For me it ist more easy to put all my WMS in an XML. Thanks in advance!

Hola Orux,



today I was hiking and had the same Problems in beta16 with the left and right dashbord as Thomas described in post #116. Sometimes the panels not to see, sometimes they're there again. When they're gone, I closed the app and opened it again, than they were to see.

Hola Orux,



once again, thank you so much. Now the track recording and the track in the display work like before. You're right, the track recording was not affected, just the "drawing" in the map. Congratulations!

Thanks again, Juanjo,

Thanks Juanjo,



you're right with your great description of the bug with the moving track position. This is the behaviour I tried to explain but I failed!



Saludos!
