Bottom of screen map controls missing for many recorded tracks

Andrew Heard shared this question ago

Answered

Where have the bottom of screen map controls & chart gone for many of my recorded tracks? For example https://link.locusmap.app/t/1dj9o4. The exported GPX files look OK with a text editor. They have only very recently shown this behavior.

Normal controls & chart as shown below. It seems mostly older tracks are OK:

I imported a few GPX into Garmin Basecamp & can't see any issues. And, I'm pretty sure some of the recorded tracks I checked for this post were previously showing the chart anyway. I don't see any recent WebPlanner version change. Of course, I tried ctrl+F5.

The same question

More info. Recorded tracks before 2/9/2025 are OK. Recorded tracks after this date won't show the chart & associated controls. I simply clicked on each track from in order one folder until the chart changed, so it isn't very scientific, but supports my initial experience that something in the WebPlanner is not working, maybe around this date. It doesn't related to any release notes though:-

Hi Andrew, what do your tracks recorded after 02/09/2025 look like in the Locus Map app? Do they contain an elevation chart? I've imported the track you posted to my Locus Map and there is no chart either because the track doesn't contain elevation data.

Hi Michal. The track shared via the link has ELE in the exported GPX & in native Android LM

From the WebPlanner, good & bad tracks "look" the same on the main map to me. Just lacking elevation.

The elevation profile on Android LM 4.31.3.5 looks OK too. Comparing 2 GPXs in notepad tabs, side by side, the header <?xml... is identical & basic <trkpt>...</trkpt> structure is OK. Even without elevation data, there is also heart rate data that the chart can display.

Maybe the cloud sync isn't fully working after 02/09/2025?

A manual upload of GPX file containing valid elevation data from Windows PC via Web Browser also fails to display a chart.

#2 - A manual upload of GPX file containing valid elevation data, from recorded track at start of this year, from Windows PC via Web Browser also fails to display a chart.

Thanks, Andrew, for the additional info and testing. We've been analyzing the issue.

Andrew, does the track contain elevation data in the Android app? Could you please send a GPX of the track exported from the app? Where (or when) exactly does the elevation data disappear? When you sync the track with the web and share/export it from there?

The Android track always contains elevation data. Often HR data too. As I said, Recorded tracks before 2/9/2025 are (appear) OK - although I haven't done an exhaustive check of all tracks. It appears sync and/or a WebPlanner upload strips the data.

How is this going? Because I have almost 1 recorded track per day, in various folders, I have tediously enabled each in turn to be more precise in when the Route Planner elevation data is ignored (heart rate too) - tracks on and before 22nd September as show elevation, tracks on and after 23rd September do not show elevation even though the Android app does. This is different to my originally reported 2nd September "change" sorry. I don't see any change in the WebPlanner release notes around this date to explain. And I write "tediously" because each time you click Back from a selected track, the list is scrolled back to the top. When a list contains 200+ tracks this gets REALLY annoying. There is already a suggestion for this improvement which I hope is close to implementing. I also tried planning a new route with the WebPlanner, and this shows elevation.

I opened 20250922.GPX & 20250923.GPX side by side - they are almost identical - a 8km walk. I could see no obvious difference in structure or XML syntax. Neither when uploaded to the WebPlanner show elevation.

I exported each file from the WebPlanner & compared using WinDiff to the original. For the bad 20250923.GPX the export had each <ele> stripped, BUT for the good 20250922.GPX the export retained <ele> data. Otherwise I still couldn't see any obvious differences.

for what it's worth...

Hi Andrew, sorry for keeping you waiting. The problem was a bit difficult to investigate, but we are on the right path now and awaiting an API update to take effect. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Excellent Michal. Strange no one else has reported it? Seems a common use-case.

Hi Michal. I note my latest 2 track recordings are showing elevation again. Has you fixed things? However a few earlier still show no elevation. I haven't checked any others yet. There will be 10's, maybe 30 over that period.

tracks >= 11th October are OK, tracks >= 22nd October & < 11th have no displayed elevation. I don't see any change in change notes. I have not changed any settings.

some progress though ;-) waiting in anticipation - has caused some wasted time of course, even just the posts above, also testing, but at least I can fully view new track data

Hi Andrew,

The issue should be resolved with the latest beta update. I apologize for the inconvenience. To fix the affected tracks, please edit them locally on your mobile device to trigger an update on the server.

Kind regards,
Ondrej

Thanks Ondrej & Michal for finally sorting it out. I've counted 43 tracks I'm now going to have to "touch" though. How widespread was this bug? I haven't noticed anyone else report it? Weird.

Hi Andrew, sorry for this. I was mistake on my side in one of Beta versions of Android app. You probably did a lot of planning last weeks? All these tracks, when synced to the web server, lost just altitude values. It is anyway fixed in the latest Beta version. It is anyway necessary to send problematic tracks/routes on the web once more. To do this, it is needed this "touch". Maybe just mass "Update elevation" for planned routes will be enough ...

Planning - yes - just booked flights for Czechia 6 weeks mid-Aug to end-Sep next year for cycle tour in your lovely home. touch elevation - good tip. And always a few recorded tracks per day - walk, run, swim, and of course bike.

So everyone had this trouble but didn't notice?

Probably. There were just a few people who tried a problematic Beta version. Maybe 5 - 10, not more.

And tickets to Czech ... oki, nice :)

A pity Update Elevation is disabled when multiple tracks are selected ;-(

Actually interesting difference - there is bulk update of points, but not tracks, but also different methods. Points - multiple select > "^" > Update Elevation, whereas for tracks > select track > menu > Tools > Update Elevation.

And at least the list scroll position is preserved when editing all these tracks. hint hint Web Planner.

Ah, yes, sorry. Mass update of elevation values for more tracks is not yet implemented 🫥.
