Last post by Andrew Heard - Yesterday at 22:23:36

just curious - up until V4.31.3.7 the APK size was around 90MB for a few years, then suddenly it jumped to 146MB - huge - was that a new 3rd party library, or has @Menion been coding around the clock/ working too hard?You cannot view this attachment.

Troubles & Questions / Re: Geocaching waypoints autol...

Last post by MartyMcFly89 - Yesterday at 20:48:25

Yes, the file path is My Library/Points/geo waypointy.

It does this when I exit with one time hitting back button and then hitting the EXIT button. I've just tried if it does this if I kill the app in "task manager" and start the app. Same behavior.

EDIT: So the standard method of back+exit. When starting the app again, it loads the waypoints even before the vector OAM map (which loads a second later).

EDIT2: I've tried to delete the geocache and add it again by its GC code, hide the waypoints. Then exit via back+exit => same behavior.

@Manuel
may you please post me a screenshot of these problematic screens? Thanks.

1st is the screen for a new note.
2nd the same scrolled down just for reference (IMHO a lot of blank space for the attachment placeholder and the address. Who even enters that on GPS coded notes?)
3rd one shows me editing a title. Keyboard is on the bottom as it is default and the case for likely most users. The save or cancel button is not visible. I think they were on the bottom of the visible form before, but not on the absolute bottom of the screen under the keyboard.
This means, I cannot just enter a title and save as I did before dozens of times per tour to keep notes for mapping.
4th one shows the same screen, but the form scrolled all the way to the bottom. Note that the save (or cancel) button is still not visible. It is fixed in position under the keyboard.

Not shown: I have to close the keyboard to be able to click the save button.

And like I said, it is the same behavior when saving routes. And probably other forms.

The same thing happens when saving a recording. When I type the title, the keyboard covers the save button.

In the new version, it's back to how it used to be. Everything's fine.

In addition to Locus, I also use Organic Maps (there is another, practically identical fork called CoMaps).

The advantages are the extreme speed of rendering the visually appealing maps, the clarity and the ease of use. Compared to Locus, the range of functions is of course tiny, but I like to use the app for certain use cases, e.g. as a mobile city map.

Last post by datenreisender - Yesterday at 01:19:46

Mein Samsung Galaxy S24 FE hat ebenfalls exakt seit dem Firmware-Update ständig diese Aussetzer und Abbrüche beim Aufzeichnen von Tracks. Sowohl mit Locus 4 Gold als auch mit Komoot. - Mein Galaxy S21 FE mit Android 16, mit dem ich auch schon gleichzeitig aufgezeichnet habe, überhaupt nicht.

Manchmal kommt nach kurzem Stehenbleiben die Sprachmeldung: 'Bewegungsunterbrechung erkannt, Track wird trotzdem aufgezeichnet', was aber nicht stimmt). Erst nach GPS aus- und wieder einschalten. Mit einer geraden Tracklinie zum aktuellen Standort.

iOS version / Re: Importing mbtiles maps in ...

Last post by Jan Čapek - February 04, 2026, 13:30:06

Hi, Locus Map on iOS doesn't yet support set of features of its Android sibling. And that includes compatibility with 3rd party maps. We are working hard to clear more pressing priorities on this platform before we will focus on this topic. Locus Map was always about freedom in map selections and we want to keep this true even on iOS. But time wise, I don't expect any progress in this in first half of this year. So please stay tuned and keep your fingers crossed!

Hello menion
thank you for the explanation about AFA and the tip about POI photos.

I saved the entire POI folder with the images under
Android/media/menion.android.locus/data/

Locus recognises the images! 

Many thanks.

... And missing media > app should automatically handle a change in the path to images. Where are your images now ... still in the Locus/data directory, just hidden in private /Android/data/... path?

In my case, it concerns photos as attachments that are stored in various folders in the internal memory and on the memory card.
