OruxMaps NG

[orux]

I've finally launched OruxMaps NG as a new app to continue development.

This way, anyone who needs to maintain access to all their files, share data with other apps, and access them easily can keep OruxMaps GP.

This version is now under open test in Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orux.oruxmapsNG

The new features added compared to OruxMaps GP are:
https://oruxmaps.com/oruxmaps_ng_news.html

I needed to get out of this dead end. I know many of you won't like having to pay again, so I'll try to ease the transition for those who can't afford it in two ways, Although I hope the launch offer is good enough that users won't ask me for it

--If you're a recent user (less than two years old), you can email me at support@oruxmaps.com with your Google Play username so I can verify that you purchased OruxMaps NG and are OruxMaps GP users. If so, I can then issue a refund for your OruxMaps GP purchase (note: you will lose this app).

--If you're a long-time user, you can try emailing me at support@oruxmaps.com with your Google Play email address so I can verify that you're an OruxMaps GP user, as I have a (very limited) chance of offering free download codes.

However, I recommend keeping both apps. OruxMaps GP works well, and you might need to use GP in a future NG update if the new one has problems

To make it easier to have both, there's a 50% discount for the next 14 days (the maximum Google Play allows). Go for it!

This version can only work in private storage. For those who want to transfer data from OruxMaps GP to OruxMaps NG, you need to copy the following folders:

a) If you granted the app full access to all files, everything will normally be in Internal Storage/oruxmaps/. Copy from /Internal Storage/oruxmaps/ to /Android/media/com.orux.oruxmapsNG/oruxmaps/

b) A more complicated case: if you didn't grant the app full access and everything is in /Android/data/com.orux.oruxmapsDonate/oruxmaps/, you need to take an intermediate step to apply the process in step a). Go to Settings > App Storage > Grant app full access and move everything to /Internal Storage/oruxmaps/. Then you can apply the process in step a).

A tutorial on how to do this step is available:
https://tronpoonpo.blogspot.com/2024/10/almacenamiento-gestion.html

c) If you are a beta user on the forum and haven't granted the app access to all files, you should have everything in /Android/media/com.orux.oruxmapsbeta/oruxmaps/
Copy from /Android/media/com.orux.oruxmapsbeta/oruxmaps/ to /Android/media/com.orux.oruxmapsNG/oruxmaps/

If you are subscribed to the maps (monthly or annually), I can refund your last payment so you can subscribe to OruxMaps NG.

Sorry for the inconvenience...

Finalmente he lanzado OruxMaps NG, como una nueva app, para continuar en ella el desarrollo.

De esta manera, el que necsite mantener el acceso a todos los ficheros, para compartir datos con otras apps, acceder a ellos de forma fácil, puede mantener OruxMaps GP

Está versión está en forma de test abierto, en Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orux.oruxmapsNG

Las novedades que añade, respecto de OruxMaps GP son:
https://oruxmaps.com/oruxmaps_ng_news.html

Necesitaba salir de este callejón sin salida. Sé que a muchos no le va a gustar tener que pagar otra vez, procuraré facilitar la transición a aquellos que no puedan permitírselo por dos vías. Aunque espero que la oferta de lanzamiento sea suficientemente buena para no pedírmelo

--Si son usuarios recientes (menos de dos años) me pueden escribir a support@oruxmaps.com indicándome su usuario en Google Play para que pueda verificar que han adquirido OruxMaps NG y son usuarios de OruxMaps GP, entonces le podré hacer una devolución de la compra de OruxMaps GP (ojo! perderán esta app).

--Si son usuarios muy antiguos, pueden intentarlo escribiéndome a support@oruxmaps.com indicándome su email en Google Play, para verificar que son usuarios de OruxMaps GP, ya que tengo posibilidad (muy limitada) de ofrecer códigos de descarga gratis.

No obstante recomiendo quedarse con las dos apps. La OruxMaps GP funciona bien, y en alguna actualización de NG igual hay que recurrir a la GP, si la nueva da problemas

Para facilitar el tener ambas, hay un descuento del 50% los próximos 14 días (lo máximo que permite Google Play) Animaros!


Esta versión solo puede trabajar en el almacenamiento privado. Para el que quiera pasar los datos de OruxMaps GP a OruxMaps NG hay que copiar las carpetas de:

a) si éramos usuarios que le habíamos dado a la app permiso de acceso a todos los ficheros, lo normal es que todo esté en Internal Storage/oruxmaps/
Copiar de /Internal Storage/oruxmaps/  a  /Android/media/com.orux.oruxmapsNG/oruxmaps/

b) caso más complicado, si no le dimos permiso a la app de acceso a todos los ficheros, y tenemos todo en /Android/data/com.orux.oruxmapsDonate/oruxmaps/ es necesario hacer un paso intermedio, para poder aplicar el caso a) Hay que ir a Configuración > Almacenamiento app > Autorizar a la app el acceso a todos los ficheros y mover en el proceso todo a /Internal Storage/oruxmaps/ Entonces podemos aplicar luego el proceso a)
Un tutorial de cómo hacer este paso previo:
https://tronpoonpo.blogspot.com/2024/10/almacenamiento-gestion.html

c) si somos usuarios de las betas del foro, y no le dimos permiso a la app de acceso a todos los ficheros, debemos tener todo en /Android/media/com.orux.oruxmapsbeta/oruxmaps/
Copiar de /Android/media/com.orux.oruxmapsbeta/oruxmaps/  a  /Android/media/com.orux.oruxmapsNG/oruxmaps/

Si estás suscrito a los mapas (mensual o anual) te puedo hacer una devolución del último pago, para que te suscribas en OruxMaps NG.

Siento los inconvenientes...

Hello Orux!! New OruxMaps NG users need a new board on the forum for this version to be able to report the first errors in this open test.
Always moving forward!!
PD: Error logging into drive (minor bugs)

Hi Orux,

Thanks for this great news!

I noted some possible issues I found during the migration GP -> NG.

1. After migrating GP files from /Android/data/oruxmapsDonate/files/oruxmaps/ to /Internal Storage/oruxmaps/ (@Tronpo, thanks for your tutorial), I noticed that my stored tracks lost links to the associated photos. Perhaps the paths to such photos stored in the database has not been updated during the file migration. Is there a way to fix this?

2. I performed step (a) to copy GP files in the NG storage, except for the oruxmapstracks.db file. In order to see in the NG vesion all my tracks previously recorded with the GP version, is it safe to overwrite the (empty) oruxmapstracks.db of NG with the one from the GP version? I think that also in this case the paths of the photos associated with old tracks needs to be fixed.

3. In the NG version, when "Immersive mode" is enabled, I noted that once the bar with top buttons is displayed, it is difficult to hide it. For instance, I need to first tap on the navigation floating button and the close the associated navigation menu, or similarly I need to open the trip computer and the close it. Instead, in the GP version, to make the top bar disappearing it is sufficient to tap on the map.

Thank you for your help and time.
Best regards,
Marco

Hello, in theory it should be safe to overwrite the database (I did) anyway save a backup. Then in the manager at the top right Plus sign, it opens to create virtual folders, you have three dots and the option to synchronize database.
On the subject of the photos, I understand that they also migrated the photos to the NG folder
Greetings

An important note if you copy profile or database from GP to NG, then review the storage configuration of the app, for example with GP profiles the storage will have changed to the directories you had in Gp and this does not correspond in NG and will create conflict

[Tronpo]

Regarding point 1 the issue of photos, in the app's storage settings Below all there is a "photos" option Checking broken links may be helpful. I've never used it 😅

[sguazt]

Hi Tronpo,

I confirm that copying the oruxmapstracks.db file from GP to NG works. Now, in the NG, I can successfully see my previously recorded tracks.

However, photos in the tracks detail are still missing although they are present in the device storage:
- /Internal Storage/oruxmaps/pictures (GP version)
- /Internal Storage/Android/media/com.orux.oruxmapsNG/oruxmaps/pictures (NG version)

The check for broken links did not work.

Thank you. Best regards,
Marco

Hola, tiene muy muy buena pinta, deseando probarla en los caminos, lo que no funciona son "Barra estado Android semitransparente" y "Barra navegación opaca", yendo en bicicleta en transparente como esta ahora no se ve, incluso sería mejor que fuera opaca la barra de estado en vez de semitransparente.

purchased.

Thank you.

Hola , has reiniciado la app después de los ajustes ? En mi caso si funciona

Driving in car, phone pointed in the way of driving, TMG line (blue) is ok, but view angle line (red) points away from direction of driving and viewing. Shouldn't be both line aligned in same direction in this case? Gps sensor is calibrated.

[cita autor=kkolesar enlace=msg=60454 fecha=1779048173] Conducir en coche, el teléfono apunta en el camino de conducción, la línea TMG (azul) está bien, pero la línea de ángulo de visión (roja) apunta lejos de la dirección de conducción y visión. ¿No deberían estar ambas líneas alineadas en la misma dirección en este caso? El sensor GPS está calibrado. [/cita]
Hello, the direction line where you look (red) points to the direction of the device, that is, the top of the mobile, you take the device in landscape position I imagine, that's why it points perpendicular to TMG. Greetings troNpo

nope, device was in portrait mode and pointed to the direction of driving. that's why I am confused of missmatch of both lines.
