Dear Forum
I often work in locations without any telecoms. About a year ago I purchased Locus Pro and loaded it onto my HTC Desire (2.2). I obtained MOBAC 1.8 and downloaded about 10Gb of terrain maps (all under 2Gb so as to not upset Android) and stored them as RMAPS SQLite. I then copied these maps from my computer and onto my phones 32Gb microSD card. And it worked. For about 6 months Locus Pro provided me with access to terrain maps on my Android phone when I had no data connection (which was almost all of the time).
In May I returned from the wilds, my phone downloaded a lot of updates, and everything stopped working. Specifically:
- All of my offline maps were somehow deleted from the SD Card (fortunately I still have the originals on my computer); and
- Copying them back from the computer onto the SD Card doesn't work. Locus Pro doesn't recognise the sqlitedb files that I've loaded into SDCard/Locus/Maps. I've also tried loading them into another directory and using the "add" function to point Locus at this. Locus reports this as successful and asks me to restart the application, but again it can't see the sqlitedb files.
Any help would be appreciated.
