Hi
After the latest update of paid version I can't move to and from points. Before any long press on track or points Locus gave me several options including display point on map or move map to point. But now the options have been disabled. Can't move maps or display set centre. From now u have to select map by ticking box but map does not move and go displayed map by sliding manually. Please help.

Hi
Here is a small collection of few icons for point of interest. If you are interested, please feel free to download and copy it to Locus icon folder. Cheers!

Hi
Any long press on Locus map give us the road name only. It will be more helpful if it gives city name as well like Google does.

Thanks. Just installed paid versioin (nayanuk). I uninstalled free one to get free from double shortcut and installed pro one. All data are saved automatically. Cheers!

Good. Waiting to buy pro one! I guess it will be same as free one . Still happy to buy. And do I need to uninstall free one before installing paid one? What will happen my custmosied  maps, POI, icons and sort of things. Please clarify. Cheers! :?:

Hi
Locus map has one unique feature and that is -: any long press on map it gives you some options. No other off-line map application has this sophisticated featurs indeed! It is very easy to get adress of your chossen place by tapping long. It will be fine and really another helpful featur if there is another sub-option to edit  before saving the point. Cheers!

Heading Vector Time-:
In the Map view it  shows an arrow indicating the direction you are travelling in. The length of the arrow is how far you will travel in a given time period. This setting controls that time period. If the value is 10 minutes, the arrow indicates where you will be in 10 minutes time. If you are walking  in 6 mph then it will show a  arrow towards your movement and the length of the arrow will depen on your speed , more speed bigger arrow . Say in map scale 1" = 1 miles. So arrow will be 1" long . Because you can go upto 1 mile during your set time (10 minutes). Anyway, you may check its use if www.viewranger.com or in android market place. Before using Locus, I used to use viewranager map. It is very good application but too expensive because you have to buy map seperately. Cheers!

Thanks for the reply. I did it! Basically, there is a minor difference that need to clarify for general users. When anyone needs to customise CATEGORY icon, he needs to download and  copy zip file (don't extract) to the Locus icon directory. If anyone wants to customise NAVIGATION icon, he needs to download navi zip file , extract them all and copy the icons only to the Locus icon directory . Cheers!

Hi
No doubt that Locus is the best application of its kind. However, adding more and more features will enhance this application. Among those 'Heading Vector time' is an another very usefull feathure for the walker, hiker and biker. You may consider about it. Cheers!

Hi! I downloaded and copy it into Locus icon directory. But, how it will make activate while navigating? Thanks for the help.

Here are the locations of all McDonalds UK branches. Cheers!

Please find attached gpx files. It contains the locations of all the Burger King branches in the UK. Cheers!

Hi
If anyone needs poi of London underground station , then please download it and copy it into Locus poi derectory. It is .gpx file. Thanks.

Thanks all! Yes, I was talking about the  move (blue arrow) icon. It will be very helpful if there is any option to choose different colour /style arrow/icon to make it more visible on the map. Cheers!

Hi
At that moment there is only one Navigation icon/ arrow in Locus. The colour is green. Sometimes it is difficult to see the arrow while you walk through woodland or bridle way. It will be nice if there is option to choose different colour/ style  icon for navigation. Before I used to use Oruxmaps of android and they have the option to choose diffent colour/symble icons for navigation. Cheers!
