Title: No custom icons over sync?
Post by: macfrank on December 27, 2025, 14:30:56
Hi, I just subscribed to gold to use the web app to better (re)organize my library and then sync it to a second device.

It seems, my custom point icons are not synced ?! They get replaced with the folder's icon. How can I sync my custom icons und what happens when I sync to the other device (which already has the related icon zip file).

Hello,
this is still not yet solved task on our side. Sorry for this.

Anyway, if you manually copy a custom icon pack on a second device, then icons should be preserved after sync in case, you will not modify points on the web. Give it a try. It should work.

I, see. A bit of a dissapointment, because for me the important point (no pun intended ;-)) of the web app would have been to better reorganize my points and have a better overview than on the smartphone. I have about 30 different custom icons and in the web app they all look the same.
Basically since I first used Locus many years ago I almost exclusively use the Garmin icons and my self-made custom icons which I brought over from using Garmin devices for many years before. I never found the Locus icons very useful because they look so similar. So, I'm using almost the same icon set for almost 20 years now :-)

So, sorry, I cancelled Premium. Too little added value for me due to no custom icons in the web. Also many other v4 quirks and things that have gotten worse in the app which are important to me and which were never addressed or were dimissed (e.g. the library lists with too much white space, missing a feature to quickly show/hide everything from the lib in the current map view area). I was never as enthusiastic about v4 than I was with v3 and keep using Locus less and less, sadly.

Understand. Sorry, I do not have any solutions for the mentioned "problems" for now.

If there will be anything I may help with, please let me know. I'll at least try ...
