Wrong location info returned

[danielegobbetti]

Hello! I noticed that the location info returned (eg to gallery) are off by a couple of tens of kilometers. Is this a "blur" introduced for privacy reasons? I tried entering the coordinates into the online search form on the map quest website and the info shown there are exact.

I usually do not get any offset at all and it is no intended feature to reduce accuracy. I'll look into that.

Do you want a geo-tagged photo to test?

For instance a photo geotagged with these coordinates: (Edit: removed for privacy reasons)
is shown in the gallery app (menu -> show details) as being shot here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/214800599

If I choose (from the gallery app) "show photo on map" and open it in Osmand it shows the right coordinates.

Thanks, that led me to the reason:
Depending on your locale, numbers are formatted using different decimal marks, but the api requires to use a dot. Using comma will result in the number being cut off, the result shown is at geo coordinates (46,11), which is "slightly" off the real result.

I'll upload the fix soon

Cool, thanks!

Sorry to bug you, but could you tag the new release so that it gets picked up by f-droid? Thanks again!

The 1.1 version will be released soon (like a few hours), just some testing of the newly added feature.
As always, release results in new tag

Understood, thanks again!

@mar-v-in please make the tag matching the version v1.1.0 (not v1.1), that helps auto-updating the build in F-Droid

[mar-v-in]

@aelmahmoudy done, didn't know the exact tag makes a difference.

Thanks !
