Solved

Alloooo Houston ! We've got a problem ...


Hill shading - Locus PRO until last version (3.15.3) - Some areas in the sea appear like that :


20efef81b47a5b8a72c0968f9b64abd6

09c25f3371a88dd2b3443f32f4200729


Hill shading - Locus Free Beta - Last version (3.15.3.4) - Same areas :


61677e7729cfd8bf8bf71673539f5cd3


e7eb6f4a44c27f5b160e70fed15cc4b2


With the new version of hill shading in Locus Free Beta, the problem start to be a little bit annoying no ?


Cheers,


Fifi

Fifi, may you please report issues related to Beta versions on forum? http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?board=25.0


Every beta may have quite a lot of problems, and this is official support mainly for published versions. Thanks!


And this issue ... I'll check it.

Hmm are you using some own HGT files? With "S23E166.hgt" file downloaded directly over Locus, I have no such problems.

I have these HGT files from the very first time you've started the use of the SRTM. At his time, if i have a good memory, i had to download this files by my own. So, it is maybe a old HGT file or a corrupted one that need to be updated ... I try to download new ones directly over Locus and let you know.

Hmmm ... question : where i have to go know in Locus to download HGT files directly through Locus ? Tk u !

Tk u ! In the mean time, i've found this page.

For info :

1. Option "Tap onto the GET buton next to the altitude field" is not working because the HGT files are already there i imagine. So, no possibility to update.

2. Option "Buy (another time) the "Lomap" of the country on Locus Store" will it update the GHT files too ?

3. Option "Create a new Waypoint and choose the Advanced Tab" as shown in the old video still on youtube : the advanced Tab is no more there.


So i choose the option : "download files from www..viewfinderpanoramas.org" and let you know


And Menion ! It is the week end and late ! Please, stop working and go to bed ! ;-) :-)

All good Houston !

HGT files updated / replaced with HGT files downloaded from www..viewfinderpanoramas.org and it's working fine know.

You've solved my problem Houston ! Tk u !

PS : the Beta version display seems to be slower than the Locus Pro version

EDIT : and for information, before my HGT update, i discovered that on a faulty sea area, in a new created waypoint, the altitude was something around -32768 m ... So, some of my HGT files were corrupted or Locus helped me to discover the deepest ocean hole of the Earth !!! Personally, i really like the second possibility ... ! :-)

Sleeping, in midnight? Too soon :).


Glad you solved it, perfect! And slower, yep , by my measurements probably twice a slower. If you compare quality of shading on your screenshots, you may see significant difference. This is the reason. As well as this: http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/slope-shading-in-different-colours-30-35-40#comment-25480


Possible speed improvements? Hard to say for now ...
