Hi Ketani,
  when you started Locus for first time, it creates Locus directory on your SD card or internal memory. You have to take this map and place it into Locus/mapsVector directory. Then start Locus and map will be visible under menu > map manager, tab "Vector"

offline navigation do not work in Locus. You have to have internet co compute navigation track, then you should navigate offline. Some description is for example here http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manual:navigate_to (http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manual:navigate_to)

Navigation is possible both online and offline.
 In offline mode it is restricted to a route which you  created when you were  online.
Go to Locus Menu -> Functions -> Navigate to.
This will start navigation from your current GPS location to the selected endpoint.
