Globaal werkt Locus zeer goed. Alleen bruikbaar voor korte etappes(minder dan 500 km, anders Crash) Navigatie plannen en herberekening kan alleen on-line. Ideale kaarten off-line van Mapforge (vectorkaarten) gratis te downloaden. Enorm veel detail op deze kaarten met de kleinste baantjes en paden. Besluit zeer bruikbaar voor vrijetijdsgebruik.

The problem with maps has been solved, one only has to use Vector-maps, free downloadable from Mapsforge. Locus is able to use the extension .map without a problem. For the moment, if you want to use the store, all problems seem to have been solved in the latest update.
The app is for the moment very OK. That's why my ranking has gone up.

Hello Jiri Mlavec

For the moment it seems possible to reach the store trough Maps/Vector Maps.
The store can not be reached through the general menu/Store.
I am interested in Maps off Turkey. Can we not have a preview off the vector-map we are interested in, before paying for the download, just like for the other maps?
The map that is causing trouble to download is Mapquest/Classic(Open).
The region we are trying to download is 150 km wide(screen-download)
From Antalya to Alanya. The height is dependent on the wide(underside include Kemer(left and under Antalya).
Zoom 14: very difficult.
Zoom 15 impossible.

I hope this can help you.

Thanks,

Bert Crommar.

Sorry I can not reach you on another way.

There is obvious a real problem with maps, Vector maps are not obtainable (store is not working), and you are unable to preview what you want to download.
SQL-maps are very difficult to download, because off data-limit and besides that there seems to be a limit on the zoom, they seem to hold it under zoom 15. Even zoom 14 is areal pain to download, it gets interrupted nearly every two minutes despite the data limit is far from being reached. Because off this my rating.

Downloading off maps is a real pain, it is broken after a small time even when the allowed data quantity has not been reached.

Perfect for Offline Geocaching I bought this app a couple days ago, looking for a good way to go offline geocacing. This app is much better than the one created by groundspeak. The price is absolutely appropriate. Thank you.

Summary

Whether you're out hiking in the woods or simply running around the city: Locus Pro is a phenomenal tool to help you keep your bearings. All about GPS, this application is made for tracking, positioning or simple navigation.

Read on after the break for more details.

Features & Use

Section rating:

Test device:
-Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4.2.1

An assistant is there to guide you through the set up and explain the key settings.

The first step is to assign how you'd like to use Locus Pro:

as a beginner
as an expert
marking a track
geo caching
navigation

The three last options are special modules that can be activated at a later point in time. This is meant to help keep the app a little tidier and easier to activate. There are several other features which users are free to decide whether to unlock or not, such as additional programmes for geo caching pages, Latitude and Foursquare.

That's about all there is to say regarding set up, now you can dive right into the app itself. Locus starts with a main landing screen which is where the map can be seen. Above and below the map you will find two bars:
The upper bar allows to to quickly access all major functions: main menu and three buttons that can be filled with standard settings for GPS, data and maps.

The bottom bar is reserved for functions related to navigating the map: change location, set map to compass or manual, zoom in and out (multi touch gestures available).

The main menu harbours the following options:

Maps: This is where users can access all available maps (e.g. OSM), including downloaded maps.
Data: List of POIs, tracks and other elements that can be edited, exported or imported.
Locus Store: The app's store via which you may purchase more apps or designs.
Functions: Allows you to access all functions, including mapping a track.
Settings: All settings can be found here.

Bottom line:

It isn't possible to fit in all of the Locus Pro features into one single review. There are simply too many features and functions, which on the whole is a major advantage for users,be it for using whilst on vacation, outdoors doing sports or every day around the city.

I was majorly impressed by the extensive tracking features such as live tracking and streaming in the internet.

The Locus Store is also a plus point should you wish to purchase additional maps to use in offline mode.

We also like the modules which can be displayed or not, making the application a little easier to navigate.

One of the latest features is a more fleshed out version of geocaching.

I am impressed by this application's performance and functionality scope. Users who enjoy being outdoors will appreciate the GPS tracking feature. A free version is available should you wish to check out and get acquainted with the app before purchasing.

Screen & Controls

Section rating:

Locus Pro comes with a great layout. The design is both contemporary and pleasing to the eye.

A large scope of functionality can have a few drawbacks in the sense that sometimes operating the app can feel a bit muddled and confusing. In the case of Locus Pro my guess is that it will take a bit of time before you understand how to navigate the programme really effectively.

Speed & Stability

Section rating:

Locus Pro is very stabile. There were a few short loading times which didn't bother us much. The application draws quite a lot of energy from the battery.

Price/Performance Ratio

Section rating:

Locus Pro is our app of the week (until December 16th) and costs only €3.99 instead of €7.68, which – though steep – is a perfectly adequate price for an app with so many functions.

Expand the application to offline maps by shopping in the Locus Store (please note, however, that extra features will cost extra money). Some maps cost more than others; there are a few special deals with which you can download 2GB for €0.99.

The application has access to the following:

Your location

coarse (network-based) location

Access coarse location sources such as the cellular network database to determine an approximate phone location, where available. Malicious applications can use this to determine approximately where you are.

fine (GPS) location

Access fine location sources such as the Global Positioning System on the phone, where available. Malicious applications can use this to determine where you are, and may consume additional battery power.

access extra location provider commands

Access extra location provider commands. Malicious applications could use this to interfere with the operation of the GPS or other location sources.

mock location sources for testing

Create mock location sources for testing. Malicious applications can use this to override the location and/or status returned by real location sources such as GPS or Network providers.

Network communication

view network state

Allows an application to view the state of all networks.

view Wi-Fi state

Allows an application to view the information about the state of Wi-Fi.

create Bluetooth connections

Allows an application to view configuration of the local Bluetooth phone, and to make and accept connections with paired devices.

full Internet access

Allows an application to create network sockets.

System tools

bluetooth management

Allows an application to configure the local Bluetooth phone, and to discover and pair with remote devices.

prevent phone from sleeping

Allows an application to prevent the phone from going to sleep.

Storage

modify/delete SD card contents

Allows an application to write to the SD card.

Hardware controls

control vibrator

Allows the application to control the vibrator.

Your accounts

discover known accounts

Allows an application to get the list of accounts known by the phone.

use the authentication credentials of an account

Allows an application to request authentication tokens.

manage the accounts list

Allows an application to perform operations like adding, and removing accounts and deleting their password.
