Ah, sorry, I've incorrectly understood "enter and go to" that you would like to start navigation to this place. Thanks @Graf Geo .

Hi,
there is many options how to do it.

Probably the most easy is to use a "Route planner" for this task. Check our manual for more info here.

Hi,

[version 4.30.1]

Hi guys,

firstly, version 4.30.1 with some fixes was published.


@Tapio
update of online POI DB > twice per week if I'm correct

return from "Other POIs" > hmm, not so easy . I've reduced it to at least two clicks.

@Blihi
LoPoints in presets > hmm, is it really useful? Should be no serious reason to disable them, or not?

@Andrew Heard
mass update > improved in the latest version

default copy/move folder > yes, there was also a change in the "Choose folder" dialog, so it should be more usable now

@Josef Žajdlík
quick show/hide of LoPoints > hmm, currently it took a found clicks. I'll think about it.

@slarti76
LoPoints not working without LoMaps > I'm still unable to simulate it . They work with all maps for me. What maps are you using?

highlighted icons tap area > hmm, you are correct. It should be a little improved in latest version, but still not perfect. More complicated, so later.

@Gerhard57
duplicate categories > hmm, good point. It is because of change in the language. Give a try next version please.

Mě se tohle bohužel nedaří nasimulovat. Problém trošku je, že oficiální metoda na "Přelož mi toto" neexistuje. Nicméně s "Deep.pl" aplikací to funguje zaručeně a obyč Google překladač který by se měl otevírat by default snad též.

I'm not aware of it.

You have to tap "Minimize" on the popup. What about disabling settings > Controlling > Display > Unlock the screen option. If you use some kind of smart lock, the device may be unlocked with this option disabled and you should see that "Home" button.

Hello
this blue info box warns about missing background location permission. It is currently necessary for proper navigation when the screen is turned off.

Click on the "Settings" button to open app settings. Here should be the "Permissions" section > Location > "Allow all the time".

Hope this helps.

aktivní Live maps > dal jsem si tlačítko do funkčního panelu a budu to sledovat

nalezené atd ve filtru > no tohle úplně snadno nerozhodnu. Mě to upřímně takto dává smysl, protože je vše na jedno místě, vše vím kde hledat. Modifikace "Zobrazit nalezené" je na tři kliky, tedy nic hrozného podle mě.

@geo marbes
přidat to postraního panelu se povedlo?

Yes, verify your login please in the app main menu.

I may confirm that account chuck.lam***@gmail.com has a valid Gold active till 4. 6. 2026!

@Graf Geo
click on "pointer" > thanks. Issue is that there are two pointers at once, not by intent. I'm looking at it.

missing names of shaping points > weird. Data are taken from the offline address database (part of LoMaps). Have you downloaded the latest LoMap? Which region? ... ah now I see your second post. Yes, all three files are necessary now.

@T-mo
complicated topic. Firstly, I believe that the best place where the community may invest time is OpenStreetMap itself. Then the whole world benefits.

Anyway, I still do not see a problem. The existing V1 solution ("Other POIs") exists and will exist in the future. For OAM and other communities is no need to switch to a different system. If you are interested, simply check the database structure and compare V1 and V2 files and you will see a big difference.

What are the major problems you see in the latest 4.30 version?
- not clearly visible active highlighted point > confirm, I will have to do something with it
- 6 seconds delay when loading a point? Online request is in worst case around 500ms, local offline max. 200ms. So maybe a problem with the internet connection?
- and among these two issues?

Versions
19. 6. 2025 - Locus Map 4.30.0
26. 6. 2025 - Locus Map 4.30.1

The last two months were full of bigger changes. Thanks to all for the big help.
I'm ready to fine-tune some details next week. No bigger changes are planned for now.

@Graf Geo
hidden "Other POIs" > as I wrote, if you remove all 3rd party databases (OAM, ...) and update all LoMaps - so there won't be any V1 database version, this item won't be visible at all.

Uploading a photo to LoPoints > it will be a lot improved in the next app version, so this option will be available only for our LoPoints. It does not make sense for other sources. Also, the app previously updated the details of the LoPoints with online data. This will now also work only for "Asamm LoPoints".

Update of LoPoints V1 > since the next LoMaps update (July 2025), V1 database will be removed from the update completely. In the long vision, this "Other POIs" should be used only for custom databases.

@Andrew Heard
top panel > thanks, finally fixed

@slarti76
Split track times > this is a safety mechanism to prevent some nonsensical times. Anyway, your use case is perfectly valid. I'll update logic a little to the next app version.

@T-mo
New LoPoints > I believe the profit of the change is quite big. No difference in online/offline work. A lot richer content of POIs, full compatibility of offline and online, better placement on the map and for use - very easy to modify both worlds at once.

Db documentation and support for 3rd parties > no, not planned and definitely not recommended. New system is a lot more complicated than the previous and we need to keep compatibility with the online and iOS world. That's why "Other POIs" will exist and will still be well supported.

Track detail > you are looking on the track from MyLibrary, probably. So it is a full-screen page with small map. Display the track on the map if you need to see more of it.

Red pointer > "click action" should be fixed in the next app version.

What we are trying to solve:

Previously, we had two categories.

• LoPoints (online) - our online-only system
• LoPoints (offline) - offline database-based solution adapted by various 3rd parties (like OAM, ..). I call it "V1"

Now we have moved to a new system, thanks to a completely new system for offline LoPoints (V2)

• LoPoints  - new united system based on online and offline V2 solution, where content is (almost) identical and users do not have to care if what data are already offline (if it is not a priority).
• Other POIs  - old offline V1 solution, completely incompatible with V2. Users without V1 databases won't see this option at all (so all new users or users with all LoMaps updates and without any 3rd party databases).

So I see no other option than keeping both systems available and working, BUT separated.

Zdravím,
diskutoval jsem to s kolegou Michale a bohužel nevím co přesně by tohle mohlo způsobovat. Prý většinou postačí aplikaci vyjmout z optimalizací doporučených zde https://dontkillmyapp.com/ , případně udělit Locusu Map oprávnění pro přístup k poloze "Vždy". Držím palce.

Hello @alexs77

by default, the app closes by double-clicking the back button. Give it a try in the moment, no navigation/track recording etc. is running. Just keep "Confirm on exit" preferences disabled (default).

By this, the app closes completely. It really stops the whole Locus Map process and terminates all inner services.

What happens to you is a visible confirmation dialog that informs about the fact, something is running and the app does not want to terminate this service (in your case "Navigation") without the confirmation.

Usually, there is a "home" button in the bottom system navigation panel. In your case, it is probably not visible because of the active lock screen.
