Advice to download elevation data and routing data when downloading Offline LoMaps

Hello Locus Team,

It could be good to advice user, when downloading Offline LoMaps (from Locus Store), to also download Elevation data and Routing data.


Why ?

When I'm in my country, it is not a problem because it is downloads are done when necessary. In my country, even in the field, I'm never too far from network and Mo of data through phone is not a problem.

Today I'm planing un journey outside Europe (where I will not be able to use data in the field) and I understand that without downloading Routing data "now", Offline LoRouter will not be able to work in the field.

Note : because I do not dowload Maps frequently, I spent some time to found that Elevation data and Routing data cannot be donwloaded from Map manager, but from Locus Store. Memory (mine) problem.

More than an advice, a choice to download "all" (map, elevation and routing) in once .
This can be really great. I don't understand the raison to download only partial data (map is clearly the biggest, elevation and routing data are small)

I thought that when downloading a map, the routing and elevation data would also be downloaded.

But I haven't tested it in a long time. I have elevation data for all of Europe from Sonny (1 inch) on my phone. And all the routing data too. So I haven't needed it for years.

A note can't hurt. Routing data could also be sent automatically.

But altitude data should not be downloaded automatically. Otherwise, the better data from Sonny will be overwritten every time.

On https://sonny.4lima.de it is written :

Yes, but only the 3-inch ones. I loaded the very accurate ones with 1 inch. These require significantly more memory, but I have enough memory.
