Good day David,
- first important information is that Locus is mainly for a hike & bike and it's not primary an car navigation.
- 3D view is completely missing in Locus, only available is basic 2D
- seems that your last sentence is missing some "words"? Becuase sorry, but I do not perfectly understand. If you downloaded any maps and Locus still require internet, please try to describe what exactly you did, because there is a lot of possibilities. Also suggest to check some basic already wrote here http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:main
Feel free to ask if something is not clear.
I read the manual include, ind figired out that any itinerary is available only with an internet connection:
So if I plan to go in an area where non internet is available how do I create any path?
and in case want to create it on a pc what is the best app to do it? google earth?
Hello David,
I'm not experienced with desktop tools, so I can't help here. Anyway you may plan it directly in Locus. Please read this
http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:functions:add_new_route_measure , mainly set button '5' ;)
I am sorry to bother you, but how can.I compute a route on the smartphone without data connection? Can I do it with the only GPS connection?
You need an offline routing tool like Brouter and some downloaded STRM-data files for altitude.
You will find a lot of information about these in the manual and for sure here in the forum.
Edith adds: best tool for planing tours and drawing computed tracks is Locus. (for me).
You can bring Locus to desktop by intalling it into a virtual environment.
