Maps / Public Footpaths and Bridleways
July 31, 2012, 17:42:30
Having used Locus Pro now for a few months Geocaching I find it great. As I live in an area where most of the caches are on moorland or farmland I carry an OS Map with me to ensure I don't upset the landowners. It would be nice if the map used by Locus contained the Public Footpaths and Bridleways. I have experimented caching the online maps and found that OSM regional / Open-PT-Map has the detail required, but when I zoom in on certain areas I get A box with "Access Blocked This application is blocked for overusing Open Street Maps's volunteer-run severs: wiki.osm.org/Blocked"

My question is, does anyone know of maps that I can use with Locus with this detail on. Either paid for or otherwise, as getting an OS map out in wind is not fun  :) .

Troubles & Questions / Line to GPS 180 deg out
July 23, 2012, 10:42:05
I use Locus Pro for Geo Caching and my HTC One V does not have an inbuilt compass. I overcome this by using the the (Map - objects & style, Line to GPS) setting, and up until the last update all I did was centre the map on the cache and using a small compass head off in the direction given on the screen. Whilst out yesterday I noticed the reading was going to send me in the wrong direction, 180 deg to be exact, throughout the afternoon I just reversed the reading locus was giving me.
Would it be possible to look at maybe reversing this?
