Description Locus Map

Locus Map is the only navigation tool that treats offline data as a primary feature, not an afterthought. For users who venture beyond city limits—hikers, bikers, geocachers, and off-road drivers—the reliability of a connection-free GPS system is non-negotiable. This app solves the fundamental problem of navigation in areas with zero cell coverage, offering a complete, professional-grade mapping suite that functions entirely without internet access. It is not a simplified consumer map; it is a robust, data-driven instrument built for precision and endurance.

Core Mechanics and Professional-Grade Tools

The application operates on a foundation of vector and raster map support, allowing you to download entire countries or specific regions for offline use. The primary interface is a highly customizable map screen where you can layer data: topographic contours, hillshading, slope gradients, and land-cover information. Navigation is handled via a track-recording engine that logs waypoints, altitude, speed, and heart rate (when paired with an external sensor). The routing engine supports turn-by-turn navigation for both on-road and off-road paths, with the ability to import GPX, KML, and KMZ files from external planning tools like Google Earth or specialized hiking platforms. A dedicated LoPo (Locus Points) system manages all saved locations, allowing for complex categorization, photo attachments, and audio notes. The geocaching module integrates directly with the Geocaching.com API, enabling live searches, log submissions, and offline cache storage.

Key Advantages

Offline-First Architecture: All map data, routes, and points of interest are stored locally. No data connection is required for navigation, recording, or searching.
Advanced Layer Management: Combine multiple map sources (OpenStreetMap, HikeBikeMap, custom WMS servers) with real-time weather overlays and satellite imagery.
Sensor Integration: Native support for ANT+ and Bluetooth LE sensors, including heart rate monitors, cadence sensors, and power meters, with live data display on the map.
Data Export and Analysis: Export tracks as CSV, GPX, or KML for analysis in external software like Golden Cheetah or Strava. Built-in statistics include elevation gain, moving time, and speed distribution.

Download mobile app now and transform your smartphone into a professional-grade GPS receiver that works anywhere, regardless of cellular infrastructure.

Disclaimer: This application requires an active GPS signal for navigation; performance may vary based on device hardware and environmental conditions. Full offline functionality requires pre-downloading map data via internet connection (Wi-Fi recommended for large regions). In-app purchases are available for premium features, including cloud storage and advanced map styles. Age rating: 3+. Data usage for initial map downloads is high; subsequent offline use consumes no mobile data. Continued use of GPS in the background can significantly decrease battery life.
