On much older versions of Locus I was able to directly import KMZ's from http://www.topomap.co.nz/NZTopoMap?v=2&ll=-42.32657,172.065125&z=10 (at least I think so)
Find NZ, select More -> Downloads, and download to your phone a Garmin Custom Map / Google Earth overlay (KMZ file)
If I download a KMZ and click it, it opens Locus, but Locus doesn't think it's a map and only temporary shows it under active items, which is lost on a restart.
They do not show up if I try to import them from the Maps or Tracks menus.
They are only available if I manually copy them to /mapitems, or click the small icon to the right of Active Items -> Map Items and then click the plus sign to import it.
So, I have a work around, but this won't be intuitive for new users.

Says to use RMAPS Sqlite (I do this and it works fine in the latest version of Locus Map).

MOBAC supports many DB's now:

As does Locas Map:
https://docs.locusmap.app/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:maps_external&s[]=openandromaps

Is there a better DB to use in Locus Map now than RMaps SQLite? RMaps SQLite has limitations (as described on the MOBAC page).

The guide is 14 years old and I am just wondering if there is a newer recommendation now?

Nice update, still a fantastic app. Now how do I modify the Travel Times profiles?
My rest times while hiking are much shorter.

I have no problems being a testing rabbit

thank you. I have to try more devices, because again on one I use for developing, it works :/

If it helps, I am running a US Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III w/Android 4.4.2.
And I created my SQLITE DB's with Mobile Atlas Creator 1.9.15 (and they worked up until todays build).

None of my personal sqllitedb maps load with the Feb 5 update. They just say loading.
I even removed them, cleared all caches and re-added them.
Previous test from Jan 31 worked (as does pro).
