Hi,

just a quick question. It's no secret any more that Windows 11 will officially support Android apps to run. The Amazon App store will be the default available store for Windows.

I just had a quick look and I did only find an old locus app from 2015 in the Amazon App store. Are there any plans to push the current locus apps - as they are at the Google App Store also to the Amazon store?

Why? I just think some things could be better prepared on my desktop for the next tour and thanks to the locus sync service - so I would have all available on my device too.

Hi!

I managed to install the actual version of locus from android play to win11!

You can google for a howto, but as far as I remember, it's a simple adb push of the official google apps open version:

https://opengapps.org/ (I was testing a different app with the developer, to sideload some processing features to the was for more processing power. I sadly don't remember the exact process of the google play installation...)


So far, the only issue I found is that the red cross in the middle of the screen is missing. Therefore the route planning is not available. Also it's a bit cumbersome to do everything with the mouse, but maybe someone has a touch display to test out more things...

If you need more info, or need some testing, feel free to contact me.


be,

Lajos
