4.22.1 Lost many user settings
Solved
On updating my locus the new version reset many of my settings.
1. The mile markers on my planned routes vanished on the main screen. I had to turn the switch Distance Markers in Points and Tracks back on to get them back.
2. All my turn by turn instructions on some of my routes have vanished. So they just showed start and then the finish at 64km. Very odd. I re-did a route and saved it and that contains the turn by turn instructions. Weird.
3. Screen on for navigation instructions had been switched off.
The same problem 
4. All my presets have been removed
4. All my presets have been removed
5. My presets haven't been removed, they just are no longer visible anywhere. If I try to create a new cycling preset Locus says it already exists, but you can't find it.

Hi Jon,
we are sorry for the inconvenience but we have no clue why this would happen - the app retains its setup and no update should change it. Actually, it doesn't as you are the only one to report such an issue. Nevertheless, go to the Backup manager and restore your setup from the last backup before the update.

Hi Michal,
Thanks for the tip. For some reason I hadn't even thought of that and was manually changing the things that ripped up one by one.
I can't see how it wasn't the back up though. I have used Locus for my current cycle tour of India every single day for around 6 hours a day, for two months. The day before the update it was fine, after the update I had all these settings missing. There wasn't a phone update during that time either.
Is it possible if didn't install cleanly? Anyway, backup restoring so hopefully that will restore my presets.

"Is it possible if didn't install cleanly?"
- honestly, I can't imagine how this would be possible if you regularly update from Google Play. That would be possible if you installed it from an unknown source, some hacked APK file... which is hopefully not your case.

I'm afraid the restore didn't sort my missing presets. It still tells me I have a cycling preset, even though it isn't visible or useable anywhere.

It seems your installation is somehow damaged, but I don't know how and why. Please go to Locus settings > Backup&file system > Data transfer > Unload app data to some safe location (e.g. create a temporary folder in /Android/Download/ sector)
- uninstall Locus Map and make sure its main directory is deleted too
- reboot your phone
- re-install Locus Map from Google Play
- go to Locus settings > Backup&file system > Data transfer > Load app data from the safe location

Will do. Will the latest version include the fix for the planner that you fixed in the beta?

Ok, I'll live with it until that is released as that is a real pain to use at the moment and I use it multiple times a day and your beta works well.

OK, install the beta after the uninstallation then. But unfortunately, I can't make sure it's fully stable.

It worked very well for me today. The presets issue was present before I tried the beta.

Guys, I lost all my data, points, tracks, even maps I had to download them again, then I couldn't login or reset a password untill I kinda recreated the account with the same email, any chance I can get my data back? 😭

Jon, we have finally managed to replicate the problem. It is a very sublime and hidden bug but we've fixed it. We'll be publishing a new app version next week. Sorry for all the complications.
