Does Locus Maps 4 still support custom map providers? I moved the mapsOnline directory to the media folder so I can access it and imported providers.xml files are also stored there by Locus but I couldn't find the custom maps anywhere in Locus.

Hello buergi,

app needs to have these config files in the default "mapsOnline" directory. Check app settings > Backup & filesystem > File system manager > Set custom sub-directories > Set "mapsOnline" directory. Do you have the same "media" directory set here?

Hi menion, thanks for your answer. Yes I used the setting you mentioned. The path is set to
/storage/1234-5678/Android/media/menion.android.locus/mapsOnlineIn the folder I placed several xml providers I found. I also noticed that the one-click-installer from here https://github.com/mjk912/LocusMapTweak works and Locus puts the resources in this folder, nevertheless I can't find any of my custom maps in Locus Maps Manager. Where would I find them? Maybe it is also that all providers I found and tested have an invalid xml format or similar. Is there somewhere a reference provider I can test?
