Hello,
it is possible that version of Locus is too old and old version of Locus Store is not anymore supported.
What version of Locus Map are you using?
If this is this case, it will be needed to download maps from any alternative source (with hope, they will work correctly) like from OpenAndromaps site or others.

thanks i know it is easy 3 steps and done, but not for me.
what is TWPR? what file is for my phone in this link we got few files?
Can you help me with this please?
0. Need sdcard and ~30mb free space.
1. Download defy.zip or bravo.zip (depend on your phone) from http://quarx2k.ru/other/moto_omap3_bootstrap/
2. Boot into TWPR, install new_boostrap.zip.
3. Reboot.
4. Boot again in TWRP, install resize.zip
5. Reboot
6. Install latest CyanogenMod 11 build.

I think google search about root and custom roms (CM11) for Motorola Defy will bring you some manuals. I prefer german language so all information i needed is from german android-hilfe.de forum:

hi i use locus map with my old phone motorola defy, and i set up screen for max 30 min
and when i cycling for about 5 min screen go to safe mode (switch off)
how to set up for long then 5 min.

if you use mobac for create map with format is best for locus?
you can choose
trek buddy tored atlas
osmroid sqlite
rmaps sqlite
osmad sqlite?
can you download for sat view for locus and switch to normal map?

Hello  kubekukpl
have you tested "always screen on"?
http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:settings:display

if you use mobac for create map with format is best for locus?

rmaps sqlite
store this map to Locus/maps

EDIT:

can you download for sat view for locus and switch to normal map?

sorry didn´t understand, please describe it more detailed

[kubekukpl]

can i use layers in focus program?
i mean i choose normal map and after if i need i can  switch for sat view to see in top (like google earth)?
or can i use layers and in one i got map for example open street map, and second one map ques?
i think yes but is only with locus pro?
How many track point i can create to make map working smoothly (old phone motorola defy)?
and the same question how big should be map to working smoothly? ( up to 500mb?)
Last question which level zoom is useful 14/12/8?

exactly
you can try to use a .kmz map as mapithem as overlay, but if i know righ, the size shouldnd be more than 25 MB

How many track point i can create to make map working smoothly

i think count of trackpoints are not a big problem if you display only a few tracks and additionaly thousands of POI´s at the same time.

and the same question how big should be map to working smoothly? ( up to 500mb?)
Last question which level zoom is useful 14/12/8?

i´ve daily running  a map built by Mobac (Outdooractive) with 1,5GB up to ZL17

[kubekukpl]

down load map from mobac
hi i down load  map 35km X 35km with 6 zoom 14/13/12/11/10/8
and file is 209kb.
how is possible?

[balloni55]

this is not possible!
what do you see after creating your map if you view map in mobac after creating ?
or if you copy this map to locus/maps?
EDIT, i think it´s maximum ZL8 only a few tiles

[kubekukpl]

i open mobac
and choose  rmaps sqlite
and i add atlas consent zoom 8/10/11/12/13/14
and highlight a section of the map  about 35km by 35km
and create atlas
and for about 5 sek  done 256kb
when i try use on locus not works.
why is only 256kb it is not even 1mb, what is wrong?
