Thank you menion for your nice,polite quick answer - I appreciate it.

My problem was that I had 'compass' turned on and so the direction arrow along with the screen was rotating whilst I was driving.  I disabled the compass as per the menu and the blue direction arrow is now locked and the map rotates which is what I wanted.

Sorry that my answer was already detailed within the app itself, but although I have changed that setting before I just couldnt find it.

Gotta pile some respect onto your head tho menion... the latest version of Locus Pro is just AMAZING.   The nightime mode is incredible and the car finder will probably prove useful too.
Locus Pro is BY FAR the best app on Android and is (in my opinion) the best app I hae ever seen for any device.
You are a genius and I love going out on walks even more now just to use Locus.
A million thanks. :-)

Hi all.

Yeah, sorry to ask such a dumb question but I really cant find the answer.

I recent android update of this AWESOME app overwrote a few setting and I am desperate to find out how I lock the blue direction pointer to the 'up' position when navigating.

I remember having it set so in portrait it pointed upwards and the map rotated and in landscape up pointed upwards too and the map rotated but for some reason I could set it today.  I pressed the rotate map icon but for some reason the map was rotating but so was the blue direction arrow and I wanted it locked.

Cheers for any help folks.

regards and best wishes.  :-)

Yeah rijackson741 - I thnk a confirmation would be perfect, that would be the best solution.

Hey MaleSmurf - it took me all my time to make a basic trekbuddy one - I dont have the brainpower that you have to make my own awesome Locus one.

menion: Lookoing forward to your idea mate.  sleep well.

I used my own custom one that I made, but I had trouble mapping things as not very good at all this.
Why you think it would work on Locus?
I do think your MaleSmurf skin is great though - I use it everyday.

Hi all.

Was downloading maps to use in offline mode but then realised it is best to download some sections to the online database so that my phone will use the downloaded tiles and will only download new ones as and when I move into an area that has not been downloaded before.

But my question is this...

I read on here somewhere that the offline databases etc etc should be less than 2gb...

so what happens when the online database hits 2gb?  For example in the mapsOnline folder, my certain map type is 996mb already... what will happen when that hits 2gb?  or even 1gb?

Implemented / Please move the 'info' button...

Please please move the info button away from the stop button.

It is very easy to walk a route and record it and then press info to see how far you have gone but to accidently hit the stop recording button next to it by mistake.

Maybe swap its place with the 'place button' but please move it.  :D


(my opinions for menion)
bought your app and love it on android.  Been using the awesome trekbuddy for years but this Locus now knocks the socks completely off it and is the best app EVER on android.
loving Locus and the 'smurf' skin works very well indeed for me.
good work Sir!!!!  ;)
