No offline POIs in 4.30 for how long ?

It came as a surprise to me that I would no longer be able to search/display LoPoints in 4.30...
I hope it's only for a very short time: it's a big miss at higher elevation without a phone signal !!!
Locus Map strength is, for me, its ability to work 100% offline.

You need the new maps from June. After that, the offline and online POIs will be in the same area. You can choose whether you want only online, only offline, or automatic.

This should be described in the manual.

Hello Gergy

What you see is a mistake and new version of LoMaps contains new kind of LoPoints (V2). This graphical issue will be fixed in the next app version.

These new LoMaps/LoPoints (June 2025) works for overlays (available over side Map-screen content panel > LoPoints).

For overlays, app uses LoPoints based on the app settings > Points & Tracks > LoPoints - Loading mode. By default "automatic" mode is set, so app use offline LoPoints first, then online if no offline data are available. Also details of LoPoints are loaded offline if internet is not available.

In case, you want to search for nearest supermarkets, please use

1. app search > Online addresses and places ... currently only online, but this will works also offline for places with the next app version

2. or you may enable overlay with supermarkets. Tap on the LoPoints item in the side menu and add category you want to have highlighted on the map


Full offline search in new LoPoints will be available in the one of next app version.

Thanks for understanding and sorry for confusion.

Thanks for clarifying, will wait for the next version for searching offline POIs. Keep up the nice work. The new 'Highlight on map' feature is great
