Deactivate theme of a map

Hello,

I just started to use Locusmap this day. I installed the german OSM Freizeitkarte ( a map) and it looked really great.


Unfortunatelly I clicked on the left menu with the themes and activated them. This looks horrible in the map now. I tried to uninstall locusmap and reinstall it again, but I did not get the theme away. Can anybody help me?


Thanks!

"them" means?


Do you have installed (and selected) the freizeitkartre theme?

Hello!

Excuse my bad english :-(( I try to explain from the beginning and hope that you can understand me:

1. I use a Garmin Monterra for geocaching and yesterday I installed Locusmap Pro on the external SD-Card.

2. I downloaded only this file: http://download.freizeitkarte-osm.de/android/latest/freizeitkarte_deu+west.map.zip

from this side http://freizeitkarte-osm.de/android/de/mitteleuropa.html

3. I changed the main directory in the locus options and extrated the ZIP-file to an external SD-Card in the directory vector maps.

4. First the map looked great like I am used to it from the "normal" Garmin Monterra System (see picture number 1).

5. Then by coincidence I pushed the left menu in the card (see picture 2) and set the "bycicle"-option (or the others, that does not matter) and the map changed its look (see picture 3).

6. What can I do that the map looks like picture 1 again like at the early beginning?

Thanks for your help!

Hello MiK79,


hmm, hard to say, what you had on screen before. But side button with themes were visible, then you had enabled any vector map. In this case, one of existing five internal themes had to be visible.


So my only suggestion is to try four other themes (maybe just three - hike, city, car) if you get a map you need. Or in worst case, if you do not have any special settings, you may in menu > settings > misc, reset settings of Locus so you will return to "start".

Hello,

before step 5 of my description everthing looked very fine like in picture 1.

I already tried to Change the five internal themes, but nothing changed. I also tried to reset but nothing changed in the map. I even uninstalled GarminPro and installed it new. I think, that there are some data left which I have to delete before a new installation... I deleted the whole locusmap-directory...

Can't imagine any solution here, really. Expect five internal themes, you currently have no other choices how this downloaded map may look like. Maybe you previously used some online map from Menu > Map > Online tab? Or you quickly switched from different application from first screenshot to Locus? Just guessing, but sorry, I see no other option how to help here.


Anyway as gynta mentioned in his post, "freizeitkartre" maps use own theme so maybe they looks better with it. Suggest to try it.

Hello Menion! Thanks that you insisted on your solution. I made a mistake.... I did not know, that I had to install the theme of freizeitkarte, too.... I only installed the map itself..... I am very sorry for my beginner mistake. After installing the theme which from the link gynta already has posted everthing workes fine like before... Sorry, first I did not know that I have to install the theme, too.... Now, I am very happy, everthing Looks like it should be! Thank you very much for your patience!

It is not a beginner mistake, no need to say sorry! Themes are usually optional step, because as you already know, themes optimized to Locus own vector maps are already in application.


Surprise for me is, that you wrote that this map looked nice already in Locus. But you also wrote that you did not install theme before. I'm probably missing some information somewhere ...


Anyway, glad it works now and that problem is solved. Enjoy your new, nice, maps!

Yes, thanks! Perhaps the reason ist that firstly I installed the map using locuspro itself. Then I had the coincidental change of the map an deinstalled everything. After I reinstalled locuspro I installed the map from the personal computer without the theme.

Perhaps the theme was already installed with the map when I firstly installed everything from locusmap...
