How to get offline maps into my Locus Map?


  • Locus Map offers a really wide range of maps from various providers to display or download (and many more are coming soon). When you switch the Maps menu on, there are three tabs - Online, Offline and WMS.

  • At first it will do to have a look at Online Maps. Many of them can be easily downloaded to use offline. For example if you are a fan of the Open Street maps, select one of the World or Regional OSM maps, e.g. Hike&Bike, and tap the settings button on the right. <html><br><br></html>
  • a menu appears, choose Download

  • select one of the area options:
    • This screen downloads the map you are just seeing on your mobile screen
    • Select area allows you to fine-tune your area selection. Actually there are also other options but let's talk about them later.

  • When you make your selection it's time to choose zooms of your map by a simple scroll bar with two buttons, then confirm another dialog box and the download begins.
  • After completing the process your map appears in the Offline tab in the Maps manager. There you can tap it and set out for your bike trip.
