Update 4.33.0 BUG: Edit tracks

Ralf Sundell shared this problem 8 hours ago
In Progress

Since last update 4.33.0 "Re-route" does not work as before! Instead the function for starting a new route pops up:

+ .... select start

+ .... select destination


The only leftover possibility is:

Edit track > Trackpoint > Insert/edit trackpoint

This is tedious, cumbersome, and significantly reduces functionality!

Furthermore, the wrong function is started when I call "re-route".


I just decided to renew my subscription and then this glitch occurs...

Hi Ralf,

could you please describe the problem in more detail, or add screenshots or a video? We can't simulate the problem, see: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10bu-slXpSzBb25B0ttXUPSYcPPFtV9iY/view?usp=sharing.

Hi Michal!

No, I can't add a screenshot anymore - I just installed the last working version - and lost all my settings, maps, and icons! :-(

Now I have to set everything up from scratch... Thanks a lot... Aren't the settings backed up during synchronization? If not, why not? Why isn't there a way to cancel an update and revert to the previous version?

Who does the bug checking for a new version? Hopefully not the programmers - they're "blind to their own mistakes" and can't find them! This isn't meant to be offensive, it's just how it is.

To reproduce the bug, take any old track consisting of DOZENS or HUNDREDS of waypoints and try to edit it.

Try changing a section from "walking" to "cycling," try to see the waypoint list... none of it works anymore...

It simply doesn't work the way it's shown in your example video. Do you have access to my tracks in the cloud?

regards,

Ralf Sundell

Hi Ralf,

settings are not backed up during synchronization. Only tracks, routes and points. The settings are dedicated to the particular Locus Map installation on your device. The settings are saved in a backup - do you have automatic backup set up? If yes, nothing is lost. (more info: https://docs.locusmap.app/doku.php/manual:user_guide:settings:backup_fsys#backup_manager).

"Why isn't there a way to cancel an update and revert to the previous version?"

- you can cancel automatic updates in your Google Play app:

7a30ada7e209d40fe706ab944cde7ed43c5788a2279260323ed7584aa60cd8da

- you can uninstall the app and install an older version from our public repo at https://bit.ly/lmVersions. BUT we strongly recommend creating a complete (migration) backup before that (more info: https://docs.locusmap.app/doku.php/manual:user_guide:settings:backup_fsys#app_migration_backup)

"Who does the bug checking for a new version?"

- the developers, our team, and a community of power users and beta testers around forum.locusmap.eu

"To reproduce the bug, take any old track consisting of DOZENS or HUNDREDS of waypoints and try to edit it..."

- as you can see on the video, I can't reproduce the issue. Could you please send a GPX of any routes of yours that can't be edited? Thanks

"Do you have access to my tracks in the cloud?"

- no, your data is kept private

This problem is also discussed in the forum. The issue is with all routes made after January 2026. New routes and older routes work as expected.


A workaround is to open the route in the web planner, open for editing and then save a copy. The copy can then be edited in the app again.
