Locus Map Pro vs Maps 4
Hello
I am using Maps Pro for many years, customized the setting to may own preference. I think it is a great App. Not using an iPhone just for using Locus (((-;
Because I have lost GPS fix and tile loading issues I checked out the Locus website and found Maps 4. You did not push that to Maps Pro users. So I only found out by chance. Maybe you should inform Maps Pro users, many probably have no idea...
GPS fix is probably due to battery saving settings, Changed some settings and today tracking worked again without losing GPS fix.
Missing tiles are still there, only zoom will fix it (see attachment using 3.57.1).
But what about Maps 4?!
I see an online version to connect to the app. Great, something I always wanted to able to see maps on a large screen.
But what about Maps Pro. Do I lose that then?
Can I test Maps 4 next to Maps Pro?
Maps Pro will probably go on as Classic, but I want to go with the latest of course? (do not like subscription models, but I do understand why)
Greetings, Pim
The same question
Both can coexist - I have that since LM4 came out.
There is a LM4 free (with adds ...)
Once you have Android 11 and beyond, you need the AFA version of LMP to keep the joint Locus folder.

Hello Zedenek,
Ok I will try out Maps 4, best to stay wih thge latest.
This issue is with the LoMaps Netherlands map. Info says 19.19.2015 / 756,13 Mb.
The Spain and Portugal maps I also use do not suffer from this.

Hello Zedenek,
I installed Map 4 (S8 Android 9).
I took a Gold abo on the 50% Pro users fee as you have seen.
So you say I can also download a new Netherlands LOmap for free also within Pro with Gold?
In Pro cannot login in Store anymore, I get a code 11321 error. In Maps 4 I am in Store.
I hooked up my S8 to the PC and see only one Locus folder... how is this organized between Pro and Maps4?
Do they share the same folder and maps?!

The Gold is only working within LM4. However, the maps you download can be used by LMPro as well.
In this old Android there should be no issue with both apps using the same Locus base folder that you describe. From Android 11 on you would need the AFA version of LMP, though.
Enjoy.

Hello Michael,
Login Store login also works again in Pro!
But how does ik work... I have Pro and now also Map 4 on my phone (S8 Android 9).
They can run both side by side, but I have only one (1) Locus folder in my Android root?!
I seems Pro is finding the new Netherlands map I downloaded in Maps 4 (+ Spain + Portugal).
Do Pro and Maps 4 share the same folder?!
(I want to understand and know where to look on my phone when connected to PC)

Yes, as I wrote - they can use the same base folder and share/benefit from this common data. And they do that obviously in your setup.
I think the two apps have some tiny private data (like last map used and alike),but they can share the big stuff like maps, SRTMs, POIs, etc. as long as you keep the internal (folder and map) settings consistent.
Enjoy :-)

Hello Michael and Zedenek,
I am trying to setup Maps 4 a bit like I am used to with Pro, same buttons and prefs.
I cannot use Top Panel anymore to ad buttons, side panel only from right bottom.
Why not use the horizontal empty grey area below?!
I no moved to use the Home Panel (3 bars left below).
Works also ok, but how do I remove items, adding is easy but unchecking of draging of the panel not, nothing works.

You can change the number of rows and rearrange the items. Not sure if topmost or bottommost row is taken out. Minimum is 2 rows.
