Waypoint of a multicache is not displayed centered on the map

Solved

When I open a waypoint of a multicache during preparation or later in the field, the mini map preview shows the area of the cache coordinates and the waypoint position.
If I now press the center button in the mini map preview, the map is always centered on the cache coordinates and not as expected on the waypoint position.

this is a problem if the waypoints are far apart like e.g.

Hi Wolfgang,

at first, I managed to simulate the problem - right after importing the cache and tapping one of the waypoints, the screen centered on the main cache coords. BUT when I tapped other waypoints, and tried the centering, it started to work OK - the screen centered on selected waypoint. I tested it on several other caches, all of them OK.

Could you please send some more geocaches where it causes problems?

Hi Michal

thank you for the test and your feedback
with me the map never centers on the waypoint

the problem occurs with me with all geocache waypoints, to test I have added a waypoint to a tradi but even there the map is centered on the cache coordinates

Hi Wolfgang,

neither I nor Menion can simulate the problem so at the moment. there is nothing to solve. Waiting for more feedback from other users.

I have Locus 4 .17.2 (Play Store Beta) and can confirm that at a multicache with several waypoints, the location is wrong if I want a waypoint cenetered on the map. It's allways the main geocache location displayed. Reproduceable here with different multicaches.

I also ran into this issue, but only when you select the geocache from the map, then navigate to the waypoints, select one of them and press the center button in the map preview.

If you select the geocache from the point manager then the steps from above work as expected.

To reproduce:

  1. Select a geocache that contains waypoints from the map
  2. Inside the cache overview navigate to waypoints
  3. Select one
  4. Press the center button inside the map preview
  5. Result: the map gets centered on the cache coordinates rather than on the waypoint coordinates

LM 4.17.2
