Moving Locus to a new device


Question

I have purchased a new mobile or tablet. How am I supposed to move Locus into the new device and continue using all the data and settings?

Answer

First of all it is necessary to back up all Locus Map data and settings:

  • Data - maps, points, tracks
  • Settings – your personally defined colors, function settings etc.

Then transfer your backup to the new device, install latest version of Locus Map, restore the backup and re-define paths to your other data (external maps and other items).

Instructions

  • make full backup of your settings, points and tracks with the help of Backup feature > select Backup all
  • copy your entire Locus directory to the new device (via Dropbox for example). Its location is stated in Menu > About application > Information > Locus
  • copy your external maps to the new device
  • install the latest version of Locus Map to the new device
  • start Locus Map on your new device
  • use Backup feature to restore settings, points and tracks
  • define paths to your external maps by Map manager > Add external maps
