Hi Sven,

we are sorry for the inconvenience but both publishers have recently changed their API for connecting third party apps to their databases, both without any notification. We have fixed the Statkart maps - you can test it in our latest beta version available at https://bit.ly/lmVersionsTest.

We're still working on Lantmateriet though which seems to be more complicated.

Thanks for understanding.

Please inform when you have solved the problem.

As of now I can't use your app.

I will check statkart.

You can download offline maps for Sweden here (select Android): http://www.bengt.nolang.se/kartor/

I have downloaded and installed all of the maps into Locus: Fjällkartan, Terrängkartan, Södra Vägkartan, Norra Vägkartan, and Topografiska kartan. The maps aren't fully up to date, but they are much better than nothing.

The are also LoMaps covering the area of Sweden so for the time being you may use them. At the moment, we are awaiting a reply from Lantmateriet about technical and business details of their new solution.

The quality of the Locus maps are quite inferior. I.e. I can't really use them for hiking, MTB and scating tripps.

I do this in both Norway and Sweden. Please compare Locus maps with apps "Min karta" and "Norgeskart".

Preferable while you are at it please make it possible to download much bigger areas such as half off Sweden and half of Norway

The quality of the map is a separate issue from what is being discussed here. That being said, my experience is that the quality depends highly on where you are. In some areas, Locus maps are – at least in some aspects – better than the maps provided by the Norwegian Kartverket and the Swedish Lantmäteriet.

As for mass downloading maps, you can download as large areas as you like. You can start a download of the whole of Norway or the whole of Sweden if you want to. However, from what I know, Kartverket has a limit of 10000 map tiles each day, and Lantmäteriet has a limit of only 1000 map tiles each day. So the map tile limit is not on the client side (Locus map), but on the server side.
