GENERAL / Re: License check disables the...
Last post by ut - October 22, 2024, 09:17:22 AMHi, another little trick I am using in these months where if the problem we are talking about occurred: install and use the Beta version.
It does not go through google play and therefore has no license check and so it always starts, even without a connection.
Beta and GP share maps, tracks, dem and so the increase in space occupied is modest.
Sub optimal solution while waiting for OruxGp to come back as it did months ago..

Last post by nev - October 22, 2024, 08:43:36 AMHello,
I to have used Oruxmaps for a while (free version) but have just paid for the play store version and just found that I need to be logged into my google account and connected for the app to run. I tried the clear cache trick and although I was not prompted to login to google account I have a message from Orux "something went wrong" check that google play is enabled on your device and that you're using an up to date version before opening the app.
I am on Motorola edge 50 Android 14 and I hate to be logged into google any longer than necessary. So if there is going to be a solution to use it truly off line like the free version I would be very happy.
Thanks in anticipation

Yes, for me it's on a Samsung device (S20). Normally this shouldn't be vendor-dependent, but you never know.. I'm not sure how the google-libraries are versioned across Android-versions, but that could be a factor. I tried another paid app on the same device; this app works fine without google play and an active network connection (as did oruxmaps a few minor-versions ago). This is why I believe that a change in the way oruxmaps handles its license check is the cause.
I could try the trick of starting the app with an active network connection and an account signed in, but I'm often outside mobile coverage for several days (and that's when you really need the map!)
(Ideally I would like some kind of offline-license that would work without the google/amazon/huawei-libraries.)

BETAS / Re: New beta 10.8.x
Last post by ut - October 21, 2024, 12:47:09 PMThanks Tronpo: I changed maps > maps Mapsforge > shading > shading magnitude from previous High + to Low and the map display looks the same as before. 
Map rendering for me is slower even with the cached map..

Last post by ut - October 21, 2024, 12:33:57 PMHello jdgraz, on the my Samsung (with android 13) the same problem as indicated:
https://oruxmaps.org/forum/index.php?topic=44558.msg58841#msg58841
My GooglePlay is always on, but without network connection sometimes the application does not start.
I would point out that once the connection is restored it starts regularly and even if I remove the connection the app still works.
This happens sporadically.
Clearing the application cache solves the problem for a day or a week o....
My small solution: start the app (even without gps and tracking) in a place with a connection and then deactivate it. Then all day in the mountains in the company of Oruxmaps

I need the Emirates map.
I have downloaded the map Arab-Peninsular_oam.osm.map but it is in arab characters.
How can I get it in english.
Hello, in settings > maps > Mapsforge Maps > default language.
Characters that have English translation will be translated.
On the Openandromaps page, in the map information you can see the languages that have translation.
Best regards

Last post by Tronpo - October 20, 2024, 11:43:15 PMHello, do you have it happen to you on a Samsung ? I only know of two other cases with this report, and both are Samsung.
It doesn't happen to me with any of my three LG , oppo , xiaomi devices
I have tried it on several occasions and for the mtb I don't use a card or have data
Best regards

Last post by Tronpo - October 20, 2024, 11:35:59 PMQuote from: oruxsteff on October 18, 2024, 10:44:19 PMSince a few days routes loaded from a GPX file are no more shown on the map: the distance markers are shown and waypoints too. Don't know what changed.
A few months before, working:
working
now, not working:
not working
Sure enough, I saw your screenshot, you have hidden the tracks.
Either on the side board, or on the top bar, you have the option to re-show the routes

Last post by Tronpo - October 20, 2024, 11:30:49 PMHola, es posible que tengas activado "ocultar pista", revisa el tablero lateral en la sección de pistas.
If you have this icon or similar, you have hidden routes enabled.
