Newbie Q: How do I use offline POI (db file) available here (link inside) in locus free?

i`m using locus free latest version so maybe i`m limited in my functions for this, but i noticed here that i can download POI databases in db file format for various places:


http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?to...


I d/led the japan one but have no idea how to use it and the guide it describes there seems abit complicated, and nor do i use any "vector" maps.


Is there a way to use these db files with my online browsing (combined with offline cache), so that i can use the search offline POI function and find things?


sorry if this sounds too newbie.


thanks!

Hello Howard,


as is wrote on page on forum, this feature is really in early beta. In the end, it should be very simple function, but currently it`s as you wrote - little bit complicated. It`s needed to manually download certain databases and place them on correct place on card and also download and install testing version on Locus (not version available in Google Play) and use this.


so my suggestion is: if it`s not clear what to do, from description on forum, rather leave it be for now. We hope this feature will be available at start of 2014
