Offline SEARCH (NOT routing) for cities, streets, POIs
Completed
Offline SEARCH for cities and streets should be doable from vector maps, right ?
I would not ask for perfect solution like offline navigation (which is not supported by the mapsforge data format). Some basic SEARCH would be good enough.
WELL .... done :)
Enjoy Locus Map 3.17.0 with new offline address search.

Danke. Ich werde es gleich mal ausprobieren.

Wird es auch möglich sein, diese Daten mit in die Suchfunktion einbinden zu können? Suche nach Bahnstation xy z. B.
Zudem wäre es sehr hilfreich, wenn ausländische Objektnamen in z. B. Englisch angegeben werden könnten. Im Moment sind z. B. japanische Namen nicht einfach zu lesen. Bei Garmin und Skobbler geht das.
Und mal nebenbei. Sind das nicht eher Dinge die von vornherein schon in den OSM-Karten hinterlegt sein sollten?

Ich denke wir sollten noch nicht über ungelegte Eier reden.
Wenn die beta da ist, wird es noch genug zu diskutieren geben.
Warten wir mal ab..

No only adress search , also places, geo names etc. would be quite helpfull

Because of increasing number of requests on Offline search of addresses and POI's, I just want to notify, that it's work on next months, that has priority for us.
Currently we work on improved version of Locus Store. This, together with some other tasks is planned till end of May. Then we start on this task.
Just please keep in mind, that our time estimations are really bad, so we usually needs +50% more time then we expected :)

This would allow me to kick the other GPS apps from my mobile (OsmAnd etc.) and free valuable memory :-)

Hey guys, any news on this topic? I'm really longing for this feature. Would be great to see it implemented.

We would like to see it to :). There is high chance to bring "Offline POI search" till end of this year! Offline address search - we have not yet started work on it, so cannot promise any date.

I have now uninstalled Sygic, MapFactor Navigator, OruxMaps, HERE. Each of them had unique features but none had all the features I wanted for cycling route planning & navigation. Sygic was very easy to use, offline search worked well, TomTom maps have very extensive POI list. MFN has very good integrated offline routing engine, less mucking around and confusion than Locus. Orux has everything but too complicated. HERE is free & very nice maps.
But now I uninstalled them all because LocusPro has everything (topo maps, shading, offline routing (eventually)) + much more *except* after hours of searching the online manual & forum I find that what I thought was a simple address search is not possible... the one last feature. At least I can see from the forum, knowledge base, release notes, blogs etc. that the online Locus community is very active, and the address search feature is in planning.
A big thank you Locus developers. I wait patiently.

That's a really great idea.
I would also like to search for city names offline. I hope this feature will come

Now we are in second half of 2015 - how are the plans and solution architecture for this feature progressing ?
From performance of current POI DB beta feature I would assume this is not extendable to town/street level in a performant way. Solutions like OSMand, Scout and alike get it done, so I trust you will kill the challenge, too :-)

Sounds reasonable. By the way street search with scout works terrible. Looking forward to your solution.

Locus is a really great GPS app and I trully appreciate all the time and effort you invest in it.
It would be really great to have offline street search and it looks like you are working on it.
Any news or update?
Thanks

However, I can't find any addresses for download in the shop. How to do?

Hello Andreas,
it seams to be a little problem for now,
so if you want to use this feature read first section of
http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=5016.0
and download needed db from googledrive and follow instuction

Andres, balloni is not correct.
LoMaps in Locus Store contains new addresses! Read more here for example: http://www.locusmap.eu/news-version-3-17-0/

Hi,
as Menion already wrote: download/purchase any latest version of LoMaps (version 2016.04.01), please. The offline addresses are part of LoMaps.

Does this mean that offline address search does only work with LoMaps?

Hi franc,
Menion wrote in an earlier post of this topi: Ah only limitation is version of maps. It needs to be based on format of MapsForge V3.
But for me it looks like the map of France is created with a newer version of mapsforge (see: CREATED mapsforge-map-writer-0.6.0 in your screenshot). And this version is not supported by Locus (so far).
c.s.g.

And is the Austria, Switzerland, Italy maps from Locus Store already working?
I guess this will take some days till all is set up correctly with that new and great feature.

Is there a Process or documentation to add offline Search to (self-generated) Vector Maps (e.g. the ones I build with osmosis/mapsforge) ?

I have now tested some little time the German South from LoMaps and it is unfortunately not usable.
On my SGS4 (not the oldest and slowest phone I think) the (progressive) search of the street takes about 20 seconds and then when I select a street locus crashes for sure.
I sent crash reports, but I guess you have already enough of them ;)
Now I understand what you ment with performance problems with the whole german db, when already the half is unusable.
On an emulator (Genymotion) on my powerful PC I have no problems since yet, though.
Is this still in development and will it be fixed or is this just a problem I have on my phone?
Thanks

Hello
I downloaded the new LoMaps to try a new address search. After downloading, I immediately switched to offline search. It works well. Then I switched to online search. I noticed that even though it is listed as "online" in the settings of the search source, a long tap on the map displays the address of LoMap. I was able to return to the show address on a map from the online source only moving locus maps to another directory. Maybe there are other ways to change the source address, caused by a long tap on the map?
I also noticed that after downloading the new LoMaps was slower to open the window "Quick map switch"
