Be able to select custom sound (like ringtone, notification~~~) would be nice.

Yes that would be fine.
But a option to disable too.
BTW if I have checked silent modus on my LG-P970 I can hear the Locus sounds nevertheless :-(
I visited a church and Locus beeped because of GPS signal lost.

they use illegal method to display Ozfx2 files

However, I just purchased Locus in order to use the Ozi files I have, but I cannot figure out how to get started. My first hurdel is trying to figure out how to tell Locus where I store my offline maps on my SD Card. Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks, Tom

Hi,
that is the simplest part: put the maps in sdcardlocusmaps.
But Locus cannot read this format, it is encrypted only to use in allowed hardware :-(
I converted all my my maps with MOBAC.

I'm not familiar with desktop OziExplorer but isn't there any possibility to cut whole map into two or more pieces? Then you should use mapc2mapc program or any other.

 

Sorry, no possibility.
Oziexplorer imports only the Kompass map and makes a simple .map file (with some coordinates, map projection). The real work of making a png file makes img2ozf without to cut the map.
I tried even Globalmapper where i can select a small part of my map to be converted but the result is 3 times bigger :-(

Anyway thank you for your answers.

hmm file bigger then 1GB ... this is really big. I will not work on this tool, so if anyone want

there exist nice tool to convert map files to Locus called MAPC2MAPC

and about native support for Ozfx ... if you find legal way and some code or documentation how to do it, then it's not a problem (btw. there is no legal way to use Ozfx files as I know)

Thank you,
the trial version mapc2mapc has problems too with large files.

I spent many days to find a way to convert oziexplorer maps to locus without any success.


The app Androzic works with ozfx3 files (only the old ones made with img2ozf.exe version <= 3.03!!), but this app is very rudimentary, almost unusable.

URL app              http://code.google.com/p/androzic/
necessary library http://code.google.com/p/swampex/
old img2ozf         http://code.google.com/p/androzic/downl ... up_208.zip

Market link         http://www.androidpit.de/de/android/mar ... c/Androzic


That is all what I found (without really understanding, I am 69 old).

yes me too There is also need for some volunteer to create some desktop tool that convert ozfx to tar maps. Tool I created works fine for someone but not excellent. So now is opensourced and expect new better developer

Hi,
is there any progress on Imagecutter v0.1?
The LocifyCutter works well but only with small png files (25 MB). With larger ones (> 1 GB)  the program does absolute nothing and hangs forever :-(

It would be more simply for us to use ozfx3 maps direct within Locus and you have not to fight with very large png files.
