Hi Sven,

we are sorry for the inconvenience but both publishers have recently changed their API for connecting third party apps to their databases, both without any notification. We have fixed the Statkart maps - you can test it in our latest beta version available at https://bit.ly/lmVersionsTest.

We're still working on Lantmateriet though which seems to be more complicated.

Thanks for understanding.

Please inform when you have solved the problem.

As of now I can't use your app.

I will check statkart.

You can download offline maps for Sweden here (select Android): http://www.bengt.nolang.se/kartor/

I have downloaded and installed all of the maps into Locus: Fjällkartan, Terrängkartan, Södra Vägkartan, Norra Vägkartan, and Topografiska kartan. The maps aren't fully up to date, but they are much better than nothing.

The are also LoMaps covering the area of Sweden so for the time being you may use them. At the moment, we are awaiting a reply from Lantmateriet about technical and business details of their new solution.

Hi

The quality of the Locus maps are quite inferior. I.e. I can't really use them for hiking, MTB and scating tripps.

I do this in both Norway and Sweden. Please compare Locus maps with apps "Min karta" and "Norgeskart".

Preferable while you are at it please make it possible to download much bigger areas such as half off Sweden and half of Norway

The quality of the map is a separate issue from what is being discussed here. That being said, my experience is that the quality depends highly on where you are. In some areas, Locus maps are – at least in some aspects – better than the maps provided by the Norwegian Kartverket and the Swedish Lantmäteriet.

As for mass downloading maps, you can download as large areas as you like. You can start a download of the whole of Norway or the whole of Sweden if you want to. However, from what I know, Kartverket has a limit of 10000 map tiles each day, and Lantmäteriet has a limit of only 1000 map tiles each day. So the map tile limit is not on the client side (Locus map), but on the server side.

I am experiencing an issue with the Lantmäteriet Topo Map, Sweden layer, it is not loading as expected. The system returns error code 12591. Please see the attached files for reference.

Hi Anders,

yes, we've registered the issue and have been solving it - we are waiting for response from Lantmateriet which changed their API and terms of use for their maps. We asked them fo cooperation but so far, no response. It's been more than a week now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

regards

Michal, Locus team

Great that you are trying! Keep upp the good work Locus team! I hope you can solve it so I can keep using Locus Map, been using it for many years now and I really like your app👍 Lantmäteriet map is crucial for me and I need it so without it I will be forced to change map app. I also use Statkart when in Norway. Looking forward for good news regarding this issue soon. I really miss the Locus/Lantmäteriet functionality on our week long packrafting trip we are out on now. BR August, Sweden

Just switched from lotus classic and got a subscription. I've stuck to the old version because I didn't like the "4" when it was launched.


I've now decided to give it a go.


My problem is this. The Swedish "lantmäterikarta" is the only one I use. And as toy can se on the attached screenshot it doesn't work.

Hi all,

we have finally received a reply from Läntmateriet:

- their old map providing service was terminated on 28/5/2025

- they started a new map portal "Geotorget" into which we immediately registered

- they answered that they thank us for registration and informed us that our request will be manually evaluated. And because the are very busy these days, our request will be on standby for 1-2 weeks.

I've now installed the beta version 4.29.0.11. Statkart.no works perfectly with it. Thank you for the great service.

Hi

Previously I have been able to switch maps between Sweden (Locus offline) and Lantmateriet Topo. For some time now the attached image has been appearing when I try to switch maps to Lantmateriet Topo.

What is the error?

Best regards

Hi everyone,

as we have informed, Lantmäteriet terminated its original free map service on 28/5/2025 and started a new map portal Geotorget. We registered to the portal immediately and after a few days received a reply that our registration is being evaluated and will be confirmed in a few weeks. Unfortunately, we still haven't received the confirmation nor any other information regarding using Lantmäteriet maps in our apps. Therefore, we are temporarily removing the map from Locus Map portfolio, beginning with the next app version 4.30, coming up next week. We are very sorry for this regrettable situation but it is not our fault.
