openandromaps problem on 8-core CPU

[Bertthegreat]

Who can help me. I use Oruxmaps for about 2 years on many different android phones. Since a week I have a 8-core android 4.2.2. phone (Jiayu G4S). The kost important app for me is Oruxmaps. I installed and it worked perfect as usual. I started with online maps: no problem. But when I use offline Openadroid maps, Oruxmaps tops anytime when it needs to get new info (shifting the map or zooming). It does not completely stops, it is on the background and I can activate again (as one of the active apps) but then it starts with the offline map that was active before I chose the online map.

I tried the same openadromap on other phones (Samsung S2, Jiayu G2, etc), no problem there.



Has it something to that I now have a 8-core phone? Or is it something related to android 4.2.2. Or is it a setting that I should change?



I appreciate any help



Thanks in advance

The number of cores should not be the problem.



Please, tell me the map (a link) you are using.

In my case I tried http://www.openandromaps.org/maps/europe/Netherlands_hike.zip">http://www.openandromaps.org/maps/europ ... s_hike.zip">http://www.openandromaps.org/maps/europe/Netherlands_hike.zip



And the alps, france and  balkan all from openandromaps.

Thank god, I am not the only one with this unexpected problem...



I used the Netherlands map: http://www.openandromaps.org/maps/europe/Netherlands_hike.zip">http://www.openandromaps.org/maps/europ ... s_hike.zip">http://www.openandromaps.org/maps/europe/Netherlands_hike.zip

And also tried the Alps_ost map: http://www.openandromaps.org/maps/europe/Alps_West.zip">http://www.openandromaps.org/maps/europe/Alps_West.zip



Both had the same problem. And only on the 8-core phone. All other types of phones were stable with these maps.

I hope that these links work.



Thanks in advance

Hoped Oruxmaps 5.5.22 would solve our problem but unfortunately not



For now I have to use LocusMaps

In a couple of days I hope to have a new beta, which will use the new mapsforge libraries, I think that they correct that problem.

Hi Oruxmaps developer,



I tried for 30 minutes with the beta version on 2 maps (Opendromaps : Netherlands_hike and Alp_ost). No instabilities anymore. Oruxmaps seems to be stable again. Great. Thanks. Hope that the beta version will be released soon (so no other issues that shoul be tested).



regards,



ps I hve the impression that zooming in/out and moving maps takes more time than with a much slower android device and the latest released Oruxmaps. Is this the drawback of the stability improvement?

Hi,



not sure;



the mapsforge library has a lot of changes.



but the vector tiles are cached. After first use, if you pan/reload the map, all should be faster.
