Newbie Here!
                     I just purchased Locus pro for Geocaching on my tablet in my vehicle. I went to hxxp://www.vectormaps4locus.eu and downloaded the vector map for Ontario. Then I transfered it to my ASUS tablet (Painful process, used google docs:has to be an easier way) Then I moved the file into locusvectormaps. When I start and open locus maps I still get the initial screen and it doesn't show my vector map? I download a normal google map and it seems to work ok nad swith back and forth from offline to online. What am I missing?
Thanks
Jeff
p.s. Am sure this won't be my last post and am reading a lot of the forum  :)

This is tablet vendor specific, has nothing to do with Android or even Locus. What about RTFM of the tablet?
For the S3 it's a wish with the edge of your hand (sorry, I'm no anatomy expert, I mean heel of hand+little finger) from left to right or right to left.

1. HOW you moved the map to ../Locus/mapsVector/.. ?

2. You see the map in the filemanager

3. You are sure you have NOT 2 Locusfolder?
one on sd and one in the phone memory?

4. the screenshot...

3. You are sure you have NOT 2 Locusfolder?I am using my tablet, I believe I only have one memory location)

4. the screenshot...
Attached

NOTE: I was success when I downloaded and paid for the map through the App.

Should I start a new thread about loading and saving KML files? I will do some more online reading  :)

Thanks for the help
