Main directory of Locus Map Classic and Locus Map 4 currently compatible?
Answered
LM4 looks great, so I want to test it further.
But my Locus Map Classic has a lot of POINTS and Tracks, as well as various offline maps.
1, Will they keep compatible?
2, Their default paths are different, which makes them unable to share all my data files.
What should I do? Please look at the screenshot of the path.
In any case, I still need to continue using Locus Map Classic for at least a period of time because I am still unfamiliar with LM4.
So I look forward to solving this problem.
3, Help Desk should support two-factor login certification.
Many thanks.

As you are planning to migrate mid term, you could do a manual workaround for some time:
- the Locus/data directory contains databases you can simply copy from one private directory (classic) to the LM4 one
- to do that, you need to employ a capable file manager like x-plore (not all of the file managers can handle private directories
- above only works if you have the Locus directories on INT SD (if you Android is v11+)
- same you can do with some maps - just enough for LM4 training.
- or you can have LM classic do a full backup and import that into LM4. Backup folder needs to be outside the private structure then. Does not apply tomaps, though.

PS: the data itself is compatiible, you even can import a settings backup of LM classic into LM4 (as a base, not everything will match of course).

Hello,
all data are compatible only if you have Android 11 or higher, you need to copy them to both.
The best way to import everything into LM4 is using the "Load Locus Classic data" function.
More here: https://docs.locusmap.app/doku.php?id=manual:faq:new_install_second_app
But as Michael said, you can overwrite the "Locus" folder of LM4 with the files from LM3.
Only if you have any newly saved items in LM4, export them first, or it will be rewritten.
