Locus Map - forum

Sorry, I can't stop. :)

http://www.wanderreitkarte.de (http://www.wanderreitkarte.de) have a nice looking hillshade with included contour lines, and a topo layer they use on top of a simple base layer.

As locus already have the map included, the Tile Usage policy should also apply to this Overlay: http://www.wanderreitkarte.de/licence_en.php (http://www.wanderreitkarte.de/licence_en.php)

Don't download tiles from zoomlevel 16 and higher!

if it does not exist, create a /sdcard/locus/mapsOnline/custom/provider.xml and insert this text:
If it already exist edit it and just insert the <provider*> ... </provider> stuff inside the <providers> ... </providers> xml tags.

Now you have new maps you can use as overlays in 2.3.X (Main menu / Functions / Map overlays), you can add this function to the right toolbar for quicker use...

For the hill shade layer, if you download them, you should never redownload them, because they will not change.

Hey brotbuexe,
great, but i can´t follow as fast as you post here.  :mrgreen:
But thank you very much for your effort.

Hm, looks like they just added the hill shade to their Topo layer. The shading layer seems to be no longer available on its own.
