Maps / Re: [MAPS] - Vector maps

Mapforge themselves have some (I guess weekly updated) maps of some European countries on their server.

Yea crazy-rat is right, i noticed the same some days ago, even with wifi connection.
Now i guess it really has nothing to do with the AndroidPIT server, the problem must be somewhere different.
Since I really never had such a problem with other software bought at AndroidPIT, there still has to be a bug in Locus i guess.

So for me it's still working perfectly as long has i have an internet connection. When i'm offline then after some time the licence trouble begins.
I'll keep on testing and hope for the best. For so long i keep the free version installed in parallel.

I don't know if other apps use different licence concepts, but so far i've never had any problems with apps bought from AndroidPIT.
But do we need those daily licence checks at all? Is once per week or even less often not enough?
I mean, those people who want the Pro "for free" get it anyhow from some dark places in the internet.
But those honest fellows who spend a few bucks for this masterpiece have to suffer.

OK it definitly is extremely annoying! I did a mountain tour today, just behind the border of germany. For some hours Locus worked perfectly, but suddenly this licence message popped up and i had to close Locus. Fortunately i had the Free Version on my SD card.
Is there any better way to do this licence check, or is it really necessary. Is the concept with a simple serial number to unsecure?
Luckily one can use the Pro and the free version in parallel, while all maps and tracks are shared.
But nevertheless i'd appreciate some improvements for this licence issue.

Ok thanks menion, Locus Pro is working now. Yippie!
Hopefully this licence check is not really needed every day. This would be really annoying, especially when using it in foreign countries. Think i'll keep the Locus Free apk on my SD as a Fallback when the Pro Version is not working. Fortunately the free version has almost no limitations.

I've bought 4 other apps in AndroidPIT and had no trouble so far. Up to now the AppCenter works perfectly, except for Locus. I'll definitely continue buying apps in the AppCenter when possible, it's really great.

So I think this is really a Locus problem. I'm using the Locus Free Beta as Pro until Friday, hopefully the bug is fixed until then.
Thanks a lot to menion in advance!

Hey, same for me.
I bought it, it doesn't worked. But for me even after deinstalling removing all Locus stuff, rebuying and reinstalling it doesn't worked.
Hope the developer will fix this problem soon. Until then i'll reinstall Locus Free and keep hoping that it will work some day.
Anyway the nearly 5€ are well invested in such a great app, even when i have to keep using the free version for a while.
