Offline maps disappeared after updating 3.22.1
Answered
Hello everybody,
since updating version 3.22.1 Locus lost connection to my offline maps (on external sdcard). I can find all maps at the same place as before but there is no way to connect Locus with that folder. I dislike downloading 6 GB maps again... Are there a better solution?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
have you tried the standard method of adding external maps? http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:maps_external#adding_external_maps

Hi Wolf,
have you tried copying/transferring the maps with some mobile file browser, e.g. ES Explorer? Anyway, as you describe it, the problem seems more likely to be in your mobile phone or malfunctioning SD card... If you manage somehow to move the maps, try also Locus/Maps directory - just for test if the maps are OK. However, this directory has to be placed in inner memory as it's working directory where Locus needs to read/write randomly (which is not allowed on SD card)

Hi Menion, hi Michal,
Thank you for solving the problem with the setting „GPS and location – Track recording“: After the last Update, the button can be activated without crashing.
But there’s the still the problem that the recording stops, when the screen turns off:
1 After turning the screen on, there is shown an empty map with the notice „unknown problem“.
2 Opening the „Quick Map Switch“, I see, that the „MTB Europe“-Link is active, which naturally does not work in the offline-mode.
3 When I select an offline-map, the recording continues and Locus creates a straight line from the position before the screen turned off to the current position. Recording goes on as long as the screen is turned on, showing the offline map. At the moment, when the screen turns off again, Locus goes back to point 1.
Hi Michal,
you adressed me as „Wolf“ – may be, you wanted to send the mail to someone else?
Unlike Wolf, I have no problem with the locus file system which to me seems very clear.

Had the same problem, but I couldn't copy maps due size into internal memory, tried this one and it works now. http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/134230/sd-card-not-showing-files-when-connected-to-pc

Hi Rudolf,
thank you for the proposal. Unfortunately, on my phone it didn't work.
