Offline routing doesn't work for some maps

Locus Maps 4 with Gold subscription (long time user, but new phone)


Here is the behavior I'm seeing:

  • Completely uninstall Locus Maps 4 (don't keep storage)
  • Install Locus Maps 4
  • Login to my account to activate my Gold Subscription
  • Navigate to the Locus Store
  • Search for "Utah"
  • Click the "Update" button
  • NOTE: it is very strange this map shows "Update" instead of "Download" after a clean install. However, it doesn't appear in my downloaded maps despite saying "Update".
  • Download the "ELEVATION DATA"
  • Download the "ROUTING DATA"
  • After the download completes, click the "DISPLAY" button
  • Exit the app
  • Put my phone in Airplane Mode
  • Launch Locus Maps
  • Tap Menu > Route Planner
  • Tap a first point
  • Tap a second point
  • A orange error is displayed "No Internet Connection!"
  • It does not snap the route to the trail

I've gone through this 4 times and I get the same result every time. Offline routing is one of my primary use cases for Locus Maps.

I can create a route when online. I can also create an offline route for some other LoMaps (other US states). However, I cannot create any offline routes for the map "LoMaps - Utah". I think it may be related to this map showing the "Update" button instead of the "Download" button after uninstalling.

Any suggestions on how I resolve this?

After 90 minutes, I finally got this working. I had to manually select the "Offline Router" via:

  • Tap menu
  • Tap Settings
  • Tap Navigation
  • Tap Router
  • Tap "Offline Router"

Hi,

We apologize for any inconvenience. There are several types of routers available, and users may select the one they prefer.
