Often when hiking a friend will call out a grid reference (from their standalone gps) of a location.  It would be very useful to have the grid numbers displayed on the grid overlay shown on oruxmaps.  As currently its quite time consuming (and a battery drain due to screen time) to search for the grid reference.  If each line on the UTM grid had the grid number it would make finding the grid reference much easier to narrow down.  



An example of what it could look like

but transparent background for grid rulers would be better. IMAGE -borrowed from sectionhiker.com







I often hike without the gps on. (to save battery)

Any chance you can push out a release version soon?  



The issue with the new pdf libraries on the geo pdf maps I use is causing me many problems and constant crashes.  Really need the pdf libraries two choice switch.

Thanks for looking into problem Orux.



Any chance of pushing out a new version by tomorrow?  I have a big hike planned which I was planning to use Oruxmaps for the navigation.



If not is ok as I have a plan b.

Hi Orux

I have tried two geomaps so far and both have the issue.  Same map issuer.



Have sent you a PM with the link to the maps.

Hi since I upgraded to 7.3.4 my geopdf maps are redrawing every few seconds (I see a grey flash on the screen), sometimes it causes a temporary screen freeze and sometimes the app crashes.



The behaviour starts after I zoom in or out or scroll the map.



Ive tried clearing the raster cache and refreshing the offline maps.



Also the orux map utm grid is sometimes is out of alignment with the UTM grid printed on the geofpdf. This is random sometimes at closer zoom other times at far out zoom. Seems different for each geopdf.



Using Android Pie.



Edit actually i just tested it with the openandroid maps and same issue of slow redraw but not as bad.

Edit2. after some more extensive testing the map is now taking a long time to redraw after a scroll or zoom.  Many times it gets stuck with only half map display. sometimes it fix other times the app crash.

 

Ive noticed this several times.  In oreo.



The points flags will stop showing or sometimes will appear in random places on the map.  At first it works but after several times minimising and open and close the app it bugs out and the selection flags do not appear anymore.  I had a situation recently where I couldnt select the distance between two points on the screen.  It was a concerning situation as I had a slow hiker with me and I needed to know how much further we had to walk.  I had to estimate which was sort of ok but was difficult with many turns in the trail.



Sometimes both selction flags will not appear but a distance will still be shown. Other times only one flag appears. Other times a flag appears on a different part of the map



Please fix.
