TopoDroid doing awkward station numbering

[Apocalypso]

Hi,

i just switched from PocketTopo to TopoDroid and tried to make couple of shots around my house in attempt to figure how to properly use it and...

I stuck at first step, I mada a small test survey with just a couple of leg shots without splays and no matter what I try I always getting strange numbering, only 0-1 is ok, than I got 3-5 than 5-7 and so on... If I try to make splays the result is even worse..

Any hint? Am I doing something wrong? Need to change something in the settings?

I tried on two different phones with two different app versions, 6.1.27-31 & 6.1.32-33 same issue.

This is how it is supposed to looks like:

Sorry 4 my English and thx in advance

Interesting. The last time I used TopoDroid I had the same issue. It was doing even numbers somehow, then after about 15 stations switched to odd numbers. Really unhelpfully, late on while it was putting stations on odd numbers, it then started adding splays to even numbered stations that didn't exist.

I didn't really pursue the issue though - it was on someone else's phone and on mine I've tended to use SexyTopo, which I find significantly more user-friendly.

Never seen this issue, after ~8 years of using it.

I suggest you contact the developer directly:

it’s frustrating that it does happen, especially when you have a job that needs doing and you have no choice but to roll with it! http://cave-registry.org.uk/svn/Andara/Tresviso/Marniosa/therion/upstream_3/marniosa_upstream3.th

First of all, 10Q, 10Q U all of you, didn't expected such a fast respond

That's why I am here, I am not new to cave survey I just tired of PocketTop limitations and I want to switch to something better, with more options to work with and more options when it comes to export at the end. So far I found SexyTopo and TopoDroid as the best solution on Android platform but TopoDroid looks a bit more oriented to skillful mappers and that's why I choose it over SexyTopo? Correct me if I am wrong?

Lucky you, I faced the issue during the first attempt and 2nd, and 3rd and so long

I suggest you contact the developer directly

Did it yesterday, still waiting for some feedback, will keep U informed however...

What is even more in interesting if I try to automatically fix numbering (I downloaded whole manula, print it out and now going through page by page) TD do it right:

It fixes stations numbering but I lost everything in sketch view, everything disappears, stations, splays, drawings, the first screenshot is before fixing stations numbering, the 2nd is after and the third is 3d view where if everything is processed fine with correct stations numbering, isn't it strange, 3D looks fine, sketch not?

Again, I am not beginner, just confused

 

[Apocalypso]

Hehe, I just made a new test and although I didn't actually changed anything in the software settings everything worked fine

Well, pretty much the same, I'm paperless for the last 10 years or so, but with PocketTopo...

Droid looks much better but I was too lazy to change to be honest

Croatia! Are the caves good there? What is access like?

 

[Apocalypso]

Well, literally Croatia sits on holes and rocks with a very large karst-covered area (more than 50% AFAIK) so I can proudly say that Croatia has a veritable underground El Dorado. The karst landscape in Croatia is known around the world for its deep pits, with the largest number of deep speleological structures located on the Velebit and Bioko mountain, those are pretty high mountains which means that access is very often pretty challenging ..

Velebit looks fantastic, is there lots of tree cover on that mountain?

The symptoms you describe were reported to Marco a couple of years ago, it's all down to how Android caches data files. The only work-around is to delete the app cache before starting a new survey.

I've had this happen a couple of times - nice to know the workaround! Thanks

How? Manually? Can't find it in the menus?

Velebit looks fantastic, is there lots of tree cover on that mountain?

Yes, Velebit is fantastic but as I live under the Biokovo, Biokovo looks even more fantastic to me There are lot of trees but mostly under the 1200mnv, above this altitude there are only rocks and grass

Any hint regarding this problem?

It's in Android settings > App manager. Close the app, go to phone/tablet settings then App Manager. Click Topodroid and there should be a Delete Cache option.
