Last post by Menion - October 16, 2025, 11:54:37More of you write about the problem with language. It seems that the problem is only on "older" devices with Android 13-. I made a small modification that hopefully will help here.
@Mick FU
Check these docs please. It should help with the customisation of navigation texts.

... damn, thanks!!

Last post by Menion - October 16, 2025, 10:45:46Hmm, one more check .. you wrote you see "Map of this area is not available". As I see in the app code, you should see "Access denied" if the app won't be to load map tiles from the map. So it looks like you are really in the area where the map does not have coverage. Please double-check this as well, thanks.

Last post by kacnje - October 16, 2025, 06:34:31Thank you.
I'm sure that both conditions are met.
1. I have just checked again, and there are both files (.info and .sqlitedb). Beside them, one more file appeared (.sqlitedb-journal).
2. I'm logged in with the same username as years ago. It is my only password for Locus map stored in a password manager, and I can log in on my new phone.

Last post by Menion - October 15, 2025, 21:41:25Hello,
there are currently two options:
1. you may use our "common" search and find a category. Tap on it, opens the search above the map with the list of nearest points of this category.
2. you may also enable permanent highlighting of the category. Check this manual page here.
Hope this helps.

Last post by Menion - October 15, 2025, 21:35:15Hello,
in the case of purchased maps, it is necessary to satisfy two conditions:
- install the map together with "info" file. This file is necessary to verify the license
- log in with the identical account (in the Locus Map) you used to purchase the map

Last post by michaelbechtold - October 15, 2025, 21:10:34Dies sind die Neuigkeiten:
- Der komplette OAM-Hintergrund für ZL 8 und höher ist jetzt aus Christians Oktober-2025-OAM-Vektorkarten generiert.
- Die Auswahl und Priorisierung der Siedlungen (Großstädte, Städte, Dörfern etc.) wurde nach 1 1/2 Jahren wieder einmal komplett neu berechnet.
Da Siedlungen in OSM vermehrt als Relationen definiert werden, allerdings in uneinheitlicher Manier (selbst innerhalb eines Landes, von verschiedenen Ländern gar nicht zu reden ...), war eine Erweiterung des Algorithmus nötig ("Warum fehlt Grävenwiesbach in ZL 9??" war hier mein Augenöffner für das Problem). Und es gab noch viele weitere Fälle zu lösen.
- In Vietnam wurde diesen Sommer die Provinzstruktur stark verändert - die Hauptstadt-Ebene wurde entsprechend angepasst.

Maps / Autumn release of OAM World ma...
Last post by michaelbechtold - October 15, 2025, 21:05:55These are the news:
- The complete OAM background for ZL 8 and above is now based on Christian's October 2025 OAM vector maps release.
- After one and a half years, the selection and prioritization of settlements (cities, towns, villages, etc.) was recalculated once again.
As settlements are increasingly defined as relations in OSM, but in an inconsistent manner (even inside one country, let alone between different countries ...), an extension of the algorithm was necessary ("Why is Grävenwiesbach missing in ZL 9?" was my eye-opener for the problem). And there were many more to be fixed.
- In summer 2025 Vietnam changed its province structure - the capital layer has been adapted accordingly.

Troubles & Questions / I imported (backuped) map, but...
Last post by kacnje - October 15, 2025, 18:25:29Years ago, I bought two maps for hiking. If I remember right, I made a backup of it. I have two files - .info and .sqlitedb for that map.
On my new phone, I installed Locus Map and imported the file from Android\media\menion.android.locus\maps. The import process asks me to confirm the name. After that, the name was listed in Offline tab (Maps).
I restarted the app and then selected the map. I can see blank with "Map of this area is not available". What can be wrong? I move up, down, and check distances from the current point, so I'm sure of the covered area. It didn't help.
UPDATE: I can't remember when I bought the map, but it was years ago. Were there any changes that can affect this?
I tried to download the same map again from the store, but it wants me to pay again.

Last post by freischneider - October 15, 2025, 16:00:00Quote from: topsurfer on October 15, 2025, 14:49:43Ist zwar ein älteres Thema,bin mir nicht ganz sicher was du meinst. Radwege werden in LoMaps angezeigt. Natürslich müssen sie in OSM drin sein. Denn die Karte ist eine OSM Karte. Welche OSM Karte meinst du mit runterladen.
daher meine Frage, ob die LoMaps mittlerweile die Klassifizierung von Radwegen unterstützt und in den Karten anzeigt, oder ob man dafür besser die OSM Karten runterladen sollte.
