Will Locus Map Pro be dumped in favor of the subscription version?
I have been told that Locus Map Pro has become a subscription service, meaning that a license holder has to pay every once in a while to keep using the app.
If i am wrong, i would very much appreciate a link to the database entry that explains the whole subscription issue.
In case this is correct or only partially correct, i have the following questions:
-Did Locus Map Pro really become a subscription service? If so, when did that happen: day, month and year?
-If Locus Map Pro is not the subscription service, will its development in the future be just as full of bugs and crash inducing issues as it has been in recent times?
-If Locus Pro is not the subscription, what will happen to it in the long term? Will Locus Map Pro be dumped in favor of the subscription version??
Best regards

Hello Michal, thanks for the clarifying answers, which generated further questions:
1-When Locus Map (LM) Pro is no further developed, will it keep all functions as of now? 2-Will free map downloads still be possible? 3-Will navigation using BRouter still be possible? Besides; 4-Will help desk accessibility remain unchanged? 5-Will database accessibility remain unchanged?
6-Can a license holder who does not want to deinstall LM Pro be allowed to download the apk of an earlier and less unstable version and downgrade accordingly? If so, please let me know where from (link to site).
7-Considering that a present LM Pro user may think about purchasing a subscription to LM 4: In what intervals are payments due - annualy? 8-What is the actual corresponding sum in EUR (i am aware that the payments occur in LoCoin) for the subscription of the silver version, and what for the gold version? 9-Will LM 4 be as stable as other concurring apps in the market, and what kind of guarantee will be offered to a subscriber of LM 4 as to stable function? 10-Will LM 4 become different as to compatibility with other commonly available file formats (i.e. gpx etc)?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
Best regards

Hi.
Locus Map Pro is still maintained and updated. The date of abandoning it is unknown as well as the answers to the related questions.
6) you can install any version you want, see https://docs.locusmap.app/doku.php?id=manual:faq:devices_older_android
7) subscriptions are available in monthly and annual versions More info here. We are working on single-payment time vouchers too. They should be available since April.
8) prices in € are here. Subscriptions are sold by Google Play Store. LoCoins are used only in Locus Store.
9) hopefully, yes. We are not planning to develop unstable versions and never have been.
10) no, LM will remain compatible with all the file formats it's compatible with now.

Hello Michal, thanks for the reply. I will have a look at the LM 4 site.

>>Is a de-install of the present version necessary before performing a downgrade? If so, would the external sd storage be deleted by the de-install process?
>>> Would i need to manually delete data and/or files left over after downgrade?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
