Locus Map prevents the phone screen from turning off:

  • Always - permanent screen on
  • When GPS is on - screen stays on when the GPS is on
  • During guidance/navigation - screen stays on when user is navigated or guided to a point or along a track
  • When charged - screen stays on only during charging the phone

Disable Screen Lock

This setting disables your device screen lock in case Locus is active. Other apps remain behind the screen lock. There are three levels of unlocking:

  • System settings - nothing is changed, it is necessary to unlock your screen before displaying Locus
  • Basic screen lock - only basic phone lock (slider) that just prevents user from accidentally turning the device on is deactivated. If you have your device secured by a password or a gesture, you have to unlock it in order to work with Locus.
  • All screen locks - password or gesture secured locks are also disabled for easy entering Locus. However, this setting may not work on some devices.
