New beta 11.x version

[Explorer]

Hello, do you have the vtm viewer activated?
If you have activated the vtm viewer, either in the map settings, or in the Mapsforge settings, in both settings at the bottom is the checkbox to check uncheck.
The VTM viewer does not support composite maps.
My Composite Map  are working correctly in the beta.

Best regards.

I use Composite Maps on both my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 phone and also on my Samsung A9+ Tablet and am getting the same results on both with the beta version.  I did check to make sure that VTM map viewer is not activated/checked in Maps/Mapsforge and also in Maps on both devices. Still does not display my Mapforge (street map) as the basemap.  I get a blue screen in place of the Mapforge basemap, but my Garmin type map does appear.

When I am creating the Composite Map and I select the Mapforge Map as my 1st map (basemap) of the 2 maps to create the Composite Map, the Mapforge Map name appears in the upper right corner of the screen as if the Layer has been added but I only see a blue screen with the 2 arrows that form a circular pattern being displayed all over the screen (at all zoom levels), where I used to see the Mapforge street map at this point.  I do see the Mapforge street map displayed, at this point when doing this in the GP version.

Thank you.

A doubt, what theme for Mapsforge do you use?

[Explorer]

A question, what theme are you using for Mapsforge Maps?

I don't have any Mapsforge themes to select from.  The only 1 listed is "Default mapsforge theme" and it is active.  The "Mapbox Maps" is grayed out.
 
I am doing the same thing you are in your video except for your basemap you are using a .osm file and I am using a .map file.  The .map files is what I am not getting to work any more in Composite maps in the beta version.

[Tronpo]

Hello, I suspect it's related to the default theme, that's why I asked you. 
I have Mapsforge .map files from the Mapsforge Repository, Freizeitkarte, and OpenAndroMaps. 
All of them are .map files. 
None of them display correctly with the default theme—most likely something went wrong when updating the Mapsforge libraries in this beta version. 
You can check it yourself: place the file I've attached here into the "maptyles" folder of OruxMaps beta. 
Then, in the Mapsforge theme selection, choose this file named "default" and you'll see that Mapsforge maps do work in composite mode.

@Explorer If you allow me a suggestion, try the Mapsforge maps from Openandromaps with their Elevate theme, they have much more information.
And for composites they are ideal, because instead of using them as a base layer you can use them as an overlay, and then you can remove the background of the map from the selector, taking advantage of the information from the layers of roads and points of interest on other maps.
I'll give you an example.

Best regards!!

@ Tronpo, Thank you very much for the informative videos and information.  I'll have to play around with the Openandromaps and Elevate theme when I get some more time.

What I have realized, not only do the ".map" map files not display/show up in my Composite maps; but the ".map" map files do not display in any of my maps, even as a map by themselves.  I hope this gets fixed in the release of the next beta version of Oruxmaps. From OpenAndroMaps, I downloaded the USA / South-Mid-oam.osm.map file for the US and it does not display either.

Check to view maps with a different theme than the default theme. I'm sure that's the problem, believe me.

I leave you here the link to a theme created by me, you can translate the page with the browser, it has direct installation for orux.

@ Tronpo,  THANK YOU, very much.  I have not used themes before so it took a little for me to get them set up and working.  I have gotten both the Elevate theme and your ExMaps theme working and now my ".map" map files work both as "Composite" maps and as a map by themselves.  All of my maps are back to working as they should now in beta v11.0.2beta4.

Again, thank you for all of your help.

I'm glad to hear this, Mapsforge themes are the file that tells the map what information it has to display, really a Mapsforge map is not useful without a theme.
Just keep in mind that each Mapsforge map will display the correct information when you use a theme designed for it
I mean the Openandromaps themes for the Openandromaps map, the Freizeitkarte themes for the Freizeitkarte maps.
Greetings and enjoy!!

What I mainly use the Mapsforge maps for is in a Composite Map where I can have my transparent custom Garmin Off Highway Vehicle vector trail map displayed and also be able to see roads and streets when I get into towns.  I pretty much use this all over the United States for various OHV Trail Systems, just for my own personal use.

What maps is your ExMaps Theme best used with?  It works great with the OpenAndroMaps. I didn't know if you created it for a particular map?

Sometimes I will take a .jpg picture of a paper trail map for a particular location and georeference that .jpg map and use it as a map overlay to navigate by.  I haven't seen a way to change the transparency of the .jpg overlay map so I can view my other map/s underneath the overlay, is this is even possible?  I do quite often use trails/tracks/waypoints as a .gpx or .kml overlay in my custom map/Composite map since that doesn't hide my other maps being displayed.  Is there a way to change the transparency of a .jpg overlay map where you can partially see through it and also view the map underneath the overlay map.

EXMaps theme It is created for Openandromaps.

Ask you about georeferenced maps, if you are georeferenced with oruxmaps GP , It's very easy to handle transparency. This item is old but the current operation is the same as now.

Just load the map as a layer Tap on the overlay and the transparency slider comes out.
I leave you here the post.

Thanks for the information.  I've been busy and haven't had a chance to look at the transparency for the Overlay yet.

I'm currently using v10.7.4 GP, but I've noticed it lacks the "Climber Segment Zoom" in the graph when starting a climb, that was available in the v11.x Beta.

@Orux or @Trompo, are there plans to bring these v11 improvements to the Google Play release soon? The beta features significantly improve the experience for climbers.

Thanks in advance

note: in the climber segments, please consider displaying the gradient in percentage (%) instead of degrees, as it is much more intuitive and commonly used.

Hello!! I'm just a user just like you, the only thing I know about a future update of OruxMaps Gp is that it's the first on my list of Santa Claus and Three Kings!!

Regarding the units in the scaler's data fields, the app reflects those configured in the units section:
