Quick Map Switch Vs Locus Map Store

I suspect you are using an "optimized" providers.xml, where you can put access paths to a lot of sources. Locus Map Store would require license agreements, I suppose, while your (or inherited or tweaked by that particular tweak app) edits of that xml are your responsibilty alone.

Hi Michael

Thanks very much for the rapid reply.

I have to admit I have no idea what a "providers.xml" is and whatever it is I definitely haven't "optimised" it.

Perhaps it's something inherited from the Locus Lite for IOS beta trial that I'm enrolled in? NB it's limited to 5000 tiles per day.

Anyway whatever it is, please don't change it as it's brilliant!

Hi Adam,

Asamm (Locus company, which I am not part of) does not have control over those providers.

Just to be safe, I'd copy that file (Locus root/mapsonline/custom to a backup location.

Cheers

Thanks Michael

Unfortunately my Pixel 8 doesn't allow me to access Locus files so I can't copy it. But it's good to know what's going on and I'll just have to hope the facility doesn't disappear in the future.

You've been very helpful and it's much appreciated

You can use a Locus settings feature to MOVE the whole Locus root folder to /Android/media/...menion.....

From there you can copy it :-)

Always BACKUP before such an operation ...

Thanks, Michael

Adam
