Hi whole who help me lot with work on locus by translation, donation, reporting bugs and more and more.
As you already know, I want to publish payed version on market (probably today evening). I'm working on Locus as almost full-time job for around half and year and now I need to know, if there is chance to have some reward for this or not.
Anyway, this is not why I'm writing this post. Many people sacrifice time and money to Locus and I want to give payed version to them for free of course. After my examination on google checkout, I discovered that there is no chance to return money to buyer and keep him as valid user of Locus PRO.
So, here is list of people who helped me a lot and I really want to give them payed version for free. So if you want (and I'm not pushing you of course) write me email with some credentials like paypal or bank account and I'll send you cost of payed version back!!
So, if you think you should be here on list, write me. If you want money for paid version (if you buy it of course <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> ) back, write me (day when you buy version, donators - day and amount you send me). If you feel cheated, write me. And if you want to let me enjoy time and money you gave me, please do not write me anymore <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->

I really think Locus should be available in a paid PRO version, simply because such a brilliant app should give Menion something back in terms of money, not only honor. I will be more than happy to pay for a PRO version.
Locus is really a golden application! I am so impressed by all the great features, and by menion's responsiveness . I have had quite a bit of emails with Menion, and he has implemented all my requests! And from the forum discussions I notice that more is coming.
I think I have been through all map apps on the market and there is no one even close to Locus.
Good. Waiting to buy pro one! I guess it will be same as free one . Still happy to buy. And do I need to uninstall free one before installing paid one? What will happen my custmosied maps, POI, icons and sort of things. Please clarify. Cheers! :?:
all will remain. Both version have different package name so you can have both in system. Free, more frequently updated for testing and payed for normal usage. Also data on card are shared so don't worry, they'll work in both!
Thanks. Just installed paid versioin (nayanuk). I uninstalled free one to get free from double shortcut and installed pro one. All data are saved automatically. Cheers!
I really would like to pay for this great job!!! See you in the Market:)
..I have bought:)
Also I would support you much more whathere you would find some possibility to use also Garmin topo maps (Garmin img like e.g. TOPO Czech PRO 2010. Or generaly how to use it on Android? I have tried few ways but not succesfully (e.g. MapEdit does not support new Garmin NT format of img files.)
I want to buy PAYED VERSION but I can't on Market... :(
Hej, I was worried about this. From where are you??
If you have rooted phone, there exist solution called Market Enabler (I used this not a long before). Anyway looks there will be more guys like you, so I'll have to find another solution for this google nonsence troubles!
There are answers. Have a look here: http://www.androidpit.com/ (http://www.androidpit.com/)
You can pay there via PayPal...
I bought your app today!
I have not contributed yet, but I wish to translate Locus into Danish if you like.
But still I don't want my money back. I wish to support this great program which deserves a lot of success!
Cheers,
Martin
Any news about Garmin topo maps?
(Garmin img like e.g. TOPO Czech PRO 2010. Or generaly how to use it on Android? I have tried few ways but not succesfully (e.g. MapEdit does not support new Garmin NT format of img files.)
Thx
Can you please add an information how to safely replace the free version with the paid one? I would like to keep all the maps and points.
David, both version are almost same. At least same that use same data. I'll keep both using same data so you can have free and pro both together on one machine without problem. Only problem is when you run both of them at once ... so rather do not do this :)

This is a really excellent app!
I stumbled across this app when I was googling on a way to easily download Google Maps. After playing around with it for just 2 days, I like it so much that I just bought the Pro version from the market 5 mins ago even though the only difference seems to be the lack of ads, just to show my support for your hard work. Keep up the good work!
One question - any plans for an iPhone/iPod version?
Cheers,
By the way, in case anyone wants to know:-
I didn't delete the Free version before downloading the Pro version and was pleasantly surprised that all my earlier offline maps appeared on the Pro version automatically! Will prob keep the Free version for a couple of days before deleting.
Thanks again for a great app!
I'm glad you like it ;)
1. Free and Pro share same data on disk so you can keep Pro and use Free for some testing here from forum. It's not a problem
2. differences are not only ads - http://locus.asamm.cz/?page_id=284 (http://locus.asamm.cz/?page_id=284) - and slowly will come more

I tried to install Pro Version 1.4 - failled 3times with the information "wrong APK-File" or something else.
you installed it from market? Hmm interesting ... I have no answer on this. Just try it once more. I have to be some problem with downloading. Phone restart maybe should help?
Hi, I already have the Payed Version but want to donate - your effort in solving issues is really worth to be appreciated.
"and the OSCAR goes to .. .. Menion " :-)
Pls advise how to donate safely.
Thanks

For people like me living in an unauthorised country for android payment, you can use following trick : insert in your phone a sim card coming from an authorised country (USA, France, Germany aso), even if the sim card is not valid anymore, you can connect to the market via wifi, pay, and download Locus Pro.
It is also useful to update pro version of Locus.
Would never even think of asking you to send me the money paid for the app.
I'm using your app alot in geocaching, and is thrilled every time I use it.
Just keep up the good work, Menion, looking forward to see what new features you give us in the future!
