map calibration issue II

Don Driscoll shared this problem 11 years ago
Solved

I would like to callibrate A3 sized jpg map at 350 dpi. I need this resolution to see enough detail for planning bushwalking routes. Can the cause of locus pro crashing when using jpg images with high number of pixels be fixed?


Also, can you tell me how to turn on and off maps that I have calibrated? How do I select my calibrated maps? Should they appear in the list of personal maps?

Hi Don,


currently there is no way to fix calibrating such huge image. There is just not enough memory in phones for this task.


To handle such huge image, calibrating process have to be rewrite. Firstly to cut image into small pieces, and then calibrate. Current method needs to load whole image into memory, which is not possible on phones.


Calibrated images should appear in Map manager, tab "Items". Here you can also show/hide them or delete

Hi, Menion,


calibrated images do appear, but in DATA manager, tab "Items", NOT in MAP manager.


Cheers!

Hi WIlfried,


don`t understand to be true. Calibrated files (maps) should appear in data > items tab. So it`s intent. Or there is any problem with these calibrated files?


Ah, I read my previous answer. Tab "Items" was an year ago in "Map manager", but I moved it later into "Data manager" screen. ;)

Yes I'm sure it can.


There is major difference between Android 2.X and Android 4.X. Older Android was very limited. It offered really low amount of memory for single application, so Locus was unable to load whole single image into memory for calibration. Android 4.X has these limits a lot lighter, so there is no such problem.


Anyway even on Xiaomi should be problem at certain image size, but probably a lot bigger.
