Locus- Authorization problem with geocaching.com
Solved
After recent geocaching API update I am unable to Authorize Geocaching features via Locus Map app. I am permanently getting Error 500. I have tried to get in touch with geocaching HQ (as per mail screen below), which does recognize this issue with some of the users. They are actually pointing to the 3rd party app providers to do updates connected with their API update, to solve our issue.
Is this something that can be fixed on Locus app end?

Hi Patrik,
we are sorry for the inconvenience. The new geocaching API has been implemented in Locus Map 4 but not yet to Locus Map Classic. It is planned for the near future. Thanks for understanding.

Hi,
Please, take care on this for the classis users. We are locked out with two devices now and ae not able to play anymore. No download of pocket queries and no access via geocaching4locus add on (live map, cache update, logs download, etc).
Fixing this in Locus would be highly appreciated, and maintaining the addon would be gold! 😉
Thanks!
Cheers, bigchen.

Hi all,
- download and install the latest version of Locus Map from https://bit.ly/lmVersions
- download and install the latest version of G4L addon from Google Play
All should run OK after this.

Je ne parviens toujours pas à autoriser les fonctionnalités de géocaching via l'application Locus Map classic. Je reçois en permanence l'erreur 500. À quand les mises à jour liées à la mise à jour de l'API, afin de résoudre notre problème.
Merci

Please download and install version 3.70.9. of Locus Map from https://bit.ly/lmVersions - Google Play verification has still been pending.
As for the "update cache" on LM Classic - this is processed via the G4L addon on which we have no influence - it is developed by a different developer. The same for other Fieldnotes add-on - it is not our product.
