Troubles & Questions / Re: Importing geocaches
August 09, 2026, 08:52:54
Hello,
Thanks for the quick reply.
It's all good—problem solved.
Regarding the POIs I've collected over the years—which came from various sites and different users—I found a workaround for the issue I was having with Locus (which wouldn't let me import large batches of geocaches or personal POIs).
I entered all my POIs into Garmin's BaseCamp software, compiled them into several files, and saved them to my S25U's storage. This way, Locus loads the file containing multiple POIs or geocaches at once. It takes longer than having the S25U import the files directly, but it works.
Problem solved. Could you also take a look at another question I posted about a shortcut I can't seem to delete?
I'm managing to sort out the issues little by little...
I still need to configure the top bar with various settings; I can't find where to change some of them. I'm also having trouble with heart rate monitoring: my Garmin Instinct isn't being recognized properly. I tried with my Tactix Delta—it gets recognized fine, but the top bar still shows "0," which is strange...
Thanks for your valuable advice. Locus is easier to use than other apps, but there are some configuration settings that aren't easy to find...
Have a great day.

Hello everyone,
I'm having a configuration issue with Locus Maps. I open the quick shortcuts feature at the bottom left of my map screen; I had previously added some sharing options there that I now want to remove—specifically the "sharing options" and "my current location" functions.
If I long-press these two shortcuts, I can only move them around the grid, not delete them. If I open "more features," I can access the menu to add functions, but I don't see any way to remove existing ones...
Could someone tell me how to delete these shortcuts, or is it simply not possible?
Thanks for your help...

Troubles & Questions / Importing geocaches

Hello everyone,
I've been exploring Locus Map for a while now, but I can't seem to solve a problem I'm having with importing a large number of geocaches into the app. I read somewhere that I should use a .rar file, but I don't see how to do that; also, I can't figure out where to place all the files directly in the "root" of my S25—unlike when I added extra maps.
Thanks for your help in sorting this out.

Troubles & Questions / questions about mapping
September 15, 2024, 08:55:39
Hello,
I have been using LocusMaps on my S23Ultra for some time and I have some questions about the imported maps,
I have recovered .img maps that I used on my Garmin, but some do not have a good rendering,
on my Garmin the fields and pastures appeared in green, but on Locus, these various areas appear in red, it is not very pretty, and railways or the name of this track appears, it is offset, are there any modifications to be made to change this color format?

Similarly, how can I update the maps now that I have taken out a subscription?
how to know if a new map version is available
and finally, is it possible to record data from a heart rate belt with Locus, I bought a new bluetooth one, since my S23U only supports this format, I would like to be able to record data from this belt when I go hiking...

thank you for your feedback,

Hello everyone,
I'm starting with Locus and I'm having a problem being able to record the data from my cardio belt at the same time as my route,
the data does not appear with the .gpx file that is generated,
However, everything seems activated in the settings and the belt is recognized,
however I don't always check if it is noted as "connected" at startup,

and I also have a problem with Geocaching, I have a web page which opens each time LocusMap is started, how can I block this access to the site each time it is started?
Thank you for your advice.
