| + | ==== RASTER MAPS ==== | ||
| + | ==== Automatic map loading ==== | ||
| + | Loads SQLite-based maps according to actual GPS position. There is no need to select maps manually when out of one, Locus Map switches it on automatically. **To make this work, store all the maps into one folder**. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are three options: | ||
| + | * **no map auto-load** - maps must be selected and activated manually | ||
| + | * **auto-load maps of identical source only** - only maps from one provider or other common source are auto-loaded. E.g. Outdooractive - Outdooractive, | ||
| + | * **auto-load maps of any source** - at first Locus Map checks the availability of an identical map source (provider) and then switches to a map of any source covering the desired area | ||
| + | ==== LOMAPS & OTHER VECTOR MAPS ==== | ||
| + | ==== Automatic map loading ==== | ||
| + | You manually select which map to display or you let Locus automatically load available vector maps for the currently displayed position. This also ensures a seamless map display across the whole screen in areas where the coverage of two maps blends into each other. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <wrap info> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Text size ==== | ||
| + | Enables setting size of vector maps texts (names of cities, streets, etc.) on scale from 50 to 500% of the default size. | ||
| + | ===== Auxiliary graphics ===== | ||
| + | Graphic elements displaying various non-map objects or values. | ||
| + | ==== Map scale ==== | ||
| + | Map scale is the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. Traditional indicator in the lower left corner of the map screen:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Time circles ==== | ||
| + | Circles indicate estimated beeline distance to be passed according to user's current speed in 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | ==== Distance circles ==== | ||
| + | Circles indicate selected distances from the map screen cursor - 10, 25, 50, 100, 500 m, 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 km:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | ==== Dynamic elevation ==== | ||
| + | Displays elevation value at the map screen cursor position:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Cursor to position line ==== | ||
| + | Stretches a line with azimuth and distance between user's GPS location and the map screen cursor:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | ==== Course line ==== | ||
| + | Displays a line from user's current position across the screen to indicate direction of motion:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | ==== Heading line ==== | ||
| + | Displays a line from user's current position across the screen to indicate direction he/she is pointing at with the device:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Text size ==== | ||
| + | Sets size of texts within auxuliary objects (dynamic altitude, labels etc.) from 50 to 300% of a normal size. | ||
| + | ===== Advanced features ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Increase map resolution ==== | ||
| + | Tap **Enable** and move the slider to adjust the resolution you see on the preview window. It displays the map around position of your map cursor. | ||
| + | {{ : | ||
| + | ==== Map shading ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Enables additional shading of map based on offline elevation files. | ||
| + | * Select which maps you want to shade - **online**, **personal** or **LoMaps and other vector maps** (or all). | ||
| + | * Types of shading: | ||
| + | * **Hill shading** - classic mimicking illumination by the sun:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * **Slopes** - highlighting slopes of >30°, >35°, >40 (light orange, orange, dark orange) - useful for skialpinists, | ||
| + | * **Colored elevation** - elevation levels are differed by colors (e.g. lowlands are green, mountains brown). This setting offers several color theme presets by orographic profile: // | ||
| + | <WRAP round important> | ||
| + | It is important to download elevation data before using this function, more info [[manual: | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | ==== Map color mode ==== | ||
| + | Enables adjusting colors of active map: | ||
| + | * **Night mode** - inverts colors of displayed map:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * **Low contrast** - decreases contrast of displayed maps | ||
| + | * **High contrast** - increases contrast of displayed maps | ||
