The Map Manager is Locus Map's main communication screen where you can select your map to display and download for offline use. It is launched by icon in the main menu or in the right corner of the top panel. The Maps Manager screen includes a top bar with sort by button and action menu button and a window divided into three tabs:
A list of all available online maps that can be displayed in Locus Map. By default it is sorted by map providers but you can easily change the sorting by the Sort by button menu - by Country, by Usage and by Smart choice (last used maps and most often used maps). To get the map you require, tap the group to unfold and select. As is mentioned in the Main Screen chapter, Locus Map selects the entry map automatically after the first run of your app. The selected map is online and is backlighted orange in the Manager. To change the displayed map, tap the selected one and confirm terms of its use. More about Online maps >>

Locus Map offers a variety of Worldwide sources that can be displayed in an overlay above your active map or a direct URL entry to activate any WMS source you wish.
