How to migrate from Locus Map Classic to Locus Map 4
Locus Map is a complex software with many customization options. Before the transfer of your data from Locus Map Classic to Locus Map 4, please pay attention to the following:
- Move the main app directory to the internal storage of your phone or tablet.
- Set all custom subdirectories to the default within the main app directory.
Seamless upgrade
Valid for Locus Map Classic version 3.70.17 and newer. Please update your app to this version before proceeding.
- Tap Upgrade to Locus Map 4! in the Locus Map Classic main menu
- You are redirected to Google Play to install Locus Map 4 (if you have already installed Locus Map 4 before, this step is skipped). After installing LM4, get back to LM Classic.
- Back in Locus Map Classic, a migration backup file is automatically created. It contains all your data – tracks, routes, points, maps and settings
- When done, Locus Map 4 is started and the migration backup is restored in it
- Restart Locus Map 4 and you’re done!

Android 6 - 10
- It is not possible to use both Locus Map 4 and Locus Map Classic with one shared directory. LM 4 uses a different database structure. Installing LM 4 in the same directory converts the database to LM 4 version and disables LM Classic from reading the database.
- To prevent converting the LM Classic Library, make sure the main directory of Locus Map Classic is moved to the private sector in the Android/data folder before installing Locus Map 4.
After the measures above, you may perform the seamless upgrade as described in the first paragraph.
