Title: Locus Map 4 on GrapheneOS
Post by: NickJP on March 20, 2025, 01:57:24
As Google stopped providing OS updates for my Pixel 5 a bit over a year ago, I just installed GrapheneOS plus Google Play services and Play Store app. However, when I install Locus Map 4 on it from the Play Store, Locus doesn't recognise my subscription. When I start it up, it sticks the "Dont like ads? Go Premium!" notification at the top of the screen, indicating that the subscription is not recognised. However, if I attempt to uninstall Locus app the Play Store, it tells me that my active subscriptions will not be cancelled, so Google Play knows about the subscription but Locus does not. Screenshots below:

I also notice that location does not work, although when I look in settings, Locus has the location permission allowed. If I tap on location in Locus, I just get a blank screen, as seen in the first screenshot above. If I keep tapping "-" to zoom out until I get the raster overview map, I can see that the location is set somewhere in the middle of Europe, though I'm in Australia.

Hello Nick,
sorry for the late answer. Do you already have these issues solved?

Premium access > you have to login with the identical account you used for purchase in the Locus Map itself. The account in the device/Google Play is not important here.

Location > does it work in any other application? If so, toggle settings in the app > Settings > GPS & sensors > Google services assisted location. It should help.
