Title: offline - import addresses / lopoints (osm.db)
Post by: jmarro on September 27, 2024, 09:58:59
Hello! I've been using Locus for several years -it is great!!- but I've just enroll this forum... greetings

My questions is:

I regularly use LoMaps of all the places I go, then I copy them to my disk. It used to be easy years ago, but no longer, anyway I keep doing it using ADB.

Later, if I need the map, I import it. This is mainly for coping the map between devices (if years later need a map, usually bought again, in order to have the newer version of the map).

The problem is I have no problem importing the map (e.g. _spain.osm.map), but the addresses/lopoints (_spain.osm.db), which exists in the same folder is not imported. And I tried to import it "selecting" this file but it does not work.

Any hint will be appreciated. Thank you. Regards!

Josep

If you are using ADB, make sure to copy (back) BOTH files to the mapsVector folder.
No "import" needed, as Locus scans those folders fully with each start.

Hello. Thanks I will try it asap and confirm that it works. I'm quite sure you are right!
In fact, what I've done is get the files using ADB (fromthe old phone) and try to import them using the option in the app. But, as you point out, putting the files in the new phone via ADB, probably is going to work.
Thank you! Regards
