jose1711 9:00 Location: Phone Model: | hi stephen, i do a lot of audiotagging so waypoints are adding pretty quickly. recently i noticed it takes quite a long time to switch between waypoint groups (tabs). apparently, my "OSM" tab with almost 2000 entries is to blame. i wonder what is causing the delay in loading it and if it can be increased. if it's because of calculating the distance to current location - i don't really need that - maybe disabling it for large lists could be a workaround? cheers, jose | |
Stephen 20:52 Location: Phone Model: | Hi Jose, The waypoints lists are really only intended for perhaps a couple of hundred waypoints, so I'm not surprised its getting slow with 2000+ waypoints! For OSM mapping I use the following routine... - Under Menu/Web/Waypoint Sync set the first group syncing to Upload Only - Ensure that Menu/Web/Waypoint Sync/Upload Automatically is ticked - Do the OSM mapping as usual, with the Audio tag waypoints being stored in this first waypoint group - Any waypoints that I want to keep on the phone indefinitely I move into other groups - Every so often (after each batch of editing the map in Potlatch) I clear the first group via Menu/Clear/Waypoints/Group 1 Using this method the waypoints are still archived on the website and can be synced back to the phone if necessary (though I never tend to go back to an OSM audio tag once finished with). This keeps the phone waypoints down to a manageable amount (currently about 300 on mine), with the remaining ones (around 5000) being stored on the web... Hope it helps! Cheers, Stephen | |
