Improve handling of a big database (folder) - travel feature

Wolfgang shared this idea 6 years ago
Completed

I mentioned that the handling of huge folder e.g. with 35000 caches slows all map operations dramatically down. It does not make fun any more.


BUT then I mentioned when I only make 2000 caches of this folder visible locus is performant again.


Now I had an idea. When I use the Geocaching live map a background task always loads new caches when I move the map.


My idea now is a travel feature. That means you fill a folder with lots of caches and a background task always makes only the next x caches visible.


Would be great to have such a feature for unplanned Geocaches while a bigger travel route.


Thanks Wolfgang

Big databases are a general issue. My tracks DB is near 1 GB - a nightmare also memory-wise.

Having offline databases for caches and tracks - typically on external SD (in the Locus private space) - and selective copy/update functions between online and offline DB would help.

Michael you are right but what you mean is a different problem.


When I do longer travel I want to take all caches with me, and I just want to see what's currently around me.

Hello,

so, splitting the data into multiple folders helps here? Fine. Not exactly what this idea proposed ... but I can't recommend better solution :).
