How to make "Satellite" appear in "quick map switch"?

So we have a bug, because in my installation, Satellit and Satellit Hybrid make it to that list directly after switching to them, but vanish as soon as my Locus session ends – while maps not provided by Locus like e.g. ÖPNVKarte show up in the list across restarts.

Maybe it is related to Make long tap on "content button" toggle last used maps across restart? There, I provided reproduction steps.

In case it's unrelated: How can I provide some log or the like that helps you to hunt down the bug?

Hi Michal, since the update (currently v4.26.1), I never encountered sat or hybrid missing from the list 🙂 but LoMap "World" is still never shown in "Smart choice - Offline" even tough it is last or 2nd last map I used. Any ideas?

Maybe additional info helps: When Denmark is current view, LoMap & OAM France south are not shown in "Smart choice - Offline" even tough being the latest used maps – but LoMap Italy is shown, which I did not use for weeks. This is not hurting, because if I switch to any LoMap like e.g. Italy, Locus automatically loads the LoMap for current view e.g. Denmark. This mechanic does not work for "World" because it covers whole world, i.e. there is no other map of same type in "Smart choice - Offline". And "World" is much better in overview scenarios e.g. zoom level 7 because it covers whole world, renders quicker and much nicer.

Georg, the logic in "Smart choice - offline" is different than in the online maps. The maps are ordered by the distance from your location. E.g. if you are physically in Italy, Locus Map shows an offline map of Italy in the first position (Austria in the 2nd, Czechia in the 3rd etc.). That is also why any "world" map is not listed there because a local map always has a priority.

Thank you for the feedback, now I understand current concept better 🙂 According to that, a world map shall always be on top because it always covers current location / has distance zero, so I assume current code computes distance to map's bounding box border instead it's content. This has the disadvantage world or even continent maps will never appear in central Europe but only other maps. For reasons mentioned in my last post, I suggest changing code so world maps appear in list – which does not hurt that vast majority of users, having less than 8 world maps, so the others regional maps will still be available through the list. What do you think?

Hello Georg, world maps are excluded from the quick map switch. Main priority in the screen are small local maps, so world maps won't be visible even if enabled (in case of more maps available).
