Points' attributes related issues

Ioannis Vogiatzis shared this problem ago

Solved

Hi there!

For Pro version.

1) When I import a kmz file the altitude is shown on the map for each point which I cannot get rid of. Even if I choose not to be shown during the import still appears inside parentheses with 0 value (photo #1).

2) When I tap on a point to check the related attributes a huge void white table as a background to the point's HTML attribute table is displayed which was not present in the previous version. This is quite annoying since I have to scroll downwards quite a lot to finally see the attributes (photos #2 and #3).

I have also a question: Is there any way to make an SQL-like query search through the attribute tables (search-by-attributes query)? For example, can I set a query like: Return me all the points where "KATHG=B AND F_THEM=F-6" (see 3rd photo).

Thank you in advance!

PS: Your application really rocks! :-D

Good day,

thanks for contacting us, I was little worried we will discuss over Google Play comments :).

To check more precisely where is a problem, may you please share a KMZ file to test?

To your question: all "extended data" from KML files are unfortunately converted to simple text description and added to point. Because Locus Map is focused on hike & bike, these advanced methods, that are more common in GIS software, are not needed so they are not included. Thanks for understanding.

Hi,

Please find attached the related kmz file.

Best regards,

Ioannis

PS: I sent it as a zip file because for some reason kmz file format is not acceptable for uploading.

Good morning!

Now that I'm thinking the problem again I think that it would be a nice idea to develop a new application (e.g. Locus Utility) with those advanced methods common in a GIS software. I'm an electric power distribution engineer and my opinion is that it would be an extremely useful thing to have such a tool. Besides, I think that Locus Map is already 70% of the work that needs to be done. The kmz file I sent you is part of a medium voltage power line. So, imagine, while being on the road, to have the ability to make a combined query search through the attributes' tables to find a specific MV power pole and navigate there. This saves lots of time and money and people like me working in utility companies will find it extremely useful.

Merry Christmas from Rhodos, Greece! :-)

Good morning Ioannis,

thanks for a file.

1) elevation values

placemark coordinates are defined as

<Point>
<coordinates>28.216297,36.421650,0.00</coordinates>
</Point>

where third '0,00' value define elevation. That's why Locus Map display it. If you wants points without elevation, it should looks like only as

<Point>
<coordinates>28.216297,36.421650</coordinates>
</Point>

2. issue with long description in app ... thanks, will be fixed in next version

And Locus GIS, something like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=menion.android.locus.gis . Anyway Locus GIS also does no support search in attributes and even if so, your data are currently only in description. Thanks for useful bugreport!
