Locus Map's Main Screen

is covered by an online map which Locus Map automatically selected by the country you are in at the moment of installation. E.g. Hungarians see Turaterkep Classic map, New Zealanders NZTopoMaps, USGS maps are displayed to the US users etc. Anyway, you will never be left without a map, provided you are still online.

you can move the map by simple touching and dragging, zoom it in/out by tapping buttons or by pinching . If you prefer single hand control, you can double-tap and drag the map to zoom it.<html> </html>
if you want to see your positition on the map, tap the centering button in the lower left corner. Your position is aligned with the map screen center .
