can anyone recommend a GPS track managing and editing tool for MAC outside Google Earth, and BaseCamp ??
Locus Pro is the first app for me that by far exceeds functionality of what can be done on my smartphone compared to my desktop computer... I am basically looking for the same functionality for track managing and editing for my desktop ;-)
If not possible on Mac - what about PC ?
If not... how about Locus Pro for Mac Would love it !!!

Thanks and best regards, Volker

Hi,
I want to use the "Rotate map" function more - but unfortunately it is unusable for me because the map rotates so fast and much, that it becomes more difficult navigating while riding offroad.
Is there a a trick to slow the map rotation, kind of adding a buffer, a time delay??
I still use Locus almost every day (and love it!) and over time I just accepted that I have to use the map in a fixed direction.
But when I was recently (road-)navigating with Google maps, I realized that they use a different system for their map rotation - and it really makes a difference.
This is when I decided to bring up the topic and see if there is a fix...?

One other thing: I have a smartphone now that also reads Glonas satellites, Is Locus Pro using them?

Thanks in advance and best regards, Volker

hi,
I am using "Resolution of maps" and scale my maps with 2.00x.
But every time I restart the app and sometimes when I change maps, the checkbox is unticked and I will have to go back to "Settings / Map - advanced / Advanced settings" and re-activate "Resolution of Maps" - is it normal or wanted that Locus Pro keeps "forgetting" this setting? I really need this feature and it is always quite a few clicks to ge there and back and activate it again.
Best regards, Volker

Hi Menion,
it has been a long time... ;-)
I am still a heavy user of your awesome product (for dirt bike offroad navigation) and love it!
It is one of the top 5 apps on my phone ;-)

Now I have a little problem: after one of the recent updates I get the following error message every time I launch the app: "Problem with Map adding" see screenshot.

Any ideas?
Thank you in advance, best regards, Volker

Hi Menion,
Locus Pro has become my main and most important APP on my Galaxy S2: I love and heavily use it. It is not only by far the best Nav app available, for me it has become the most important app ever and one of the reasons why I (unfortunately...) can not switch back from Android to iOS... One of the reasons that would want to make me switch back to iOS is the cumbersome process of Android to switch to a new device - even as it is in my case, from Samsung to Samsung (Galaxy 2 to galaxy note).

Since Locus is my most important app, I will select the transition procedure/backup software entirely on what will be best to protect my Locus settings, Maps and saved routes - but I am relying on some advice from you or the forum here, what that would be.

Thank you in advance and keep up the great work!!
Best regards, Volker

Hi,
since the last update I have trouble downloading maps, a problem, that was not there before...
I am currently in Romania for an Off-road event and can`t use offline navigation because of this.
Quick help would be appreciated.

Locus Pro, Galaxy 2, all latest version.
Problem is the same with all types of maps and independent from downloading via WiFi or GPRS.

I select several resolutions (map levels) start the download, and after the first download is finished, it stalls (stops) and the download will not complete. Meaning even the first set of maps is not usuable, since the download is not completed.

thx in advance for any help,
best regards, Volker

Good Morning,
I downloaded the app last night and already love it!
It is impressive, how superior it is to Google Tracks and Trimble Outdoors (tried these in vain before...)

The first trouble I ran into is Google MyMaps, which I would really like to use (import my tracks).
I have read all manuals and researched here in the forum but can`t find a similar problem:

In Locus`blog it is described to go to "tools", then MYMAps etc... but there is no MyMaps under Tools, in my version 1.8.7 it is under "functions" - but when I tap on "My Maps" in there, nothing happens...

What am I doing wrong....?

(Galaxy S2)

Besrt regards, Volker
