Maps / Re: Map displayed according to the GPS
September 13, 2012, 23:11:51
Your suggestion worked, thanks. Locus has so many features that I never found this toggle.

Menu > Maps (or click the Maps icon top right of screen) (shows Map manager screen) > Menu >click Map autoload > (popup window) > check radio button for "Auto-loads of exactly same type only"

and then it autoloads the correct map.

I checked this by doing the following:
Menu > Maps (or click the Maps icon top right of screen) (shows Map manager screen) > Menu > uncheck all but Personal

However, I did note that in Map manager whatever downloaded/saved map you had initially selected is highlighted in red and bold, even if Locus has automatically switched to a downloaded map that corresponds to your GPS location. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

Maps / Re: Map displayed according to the GPS

"Automatic switch in between surrounding maps whilst on the move" is listed under Features > Maps > Offline Maps. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this.

I had downloaded USGS topo map tiles for the central Appalachian Mountains of the eastern USA, and they work. But, when I turn on the GPS in a new area, I cannot figure out which map corresponds to my current location.

Some sort of index map of the saved maps, as in the latest Google Maps offline maps feature, would be great. (BTW, found you can only download 6 Google Maps tiles to your phone.) Or, the ability to automatically switch to an offline map corresponding to the current location would be even better. I suspect that Locus Pro will do this, but I have no idea how to make it work.

Any help appreciated.
