App from hell, Struggling to get the map to work for Mountain biking
Answered
Hi,
I just downloaded locus maps gold. I want to use it for mountain biking where I live in Tyrol near Innsbruck. I want to go in all the mountain areas around here.
I've tried Chat GPT till the cows come home, And it was taking me around in circles,
if I understand correctly I should be able to see "Austria LoMap V4” but all I can actually see is the "Base map" (see screenshots enclosed)
I don't know how to change this, and neither apparently does Chat GPT. It says that I definitely downloaded them, but I don't know how to get the mountain bike trails and what to show! Please help!

The same question 
Hi Richard,
all is correct - you downloaded an offline LoMap of Austria, V4. The "L" and "V4" are in the logo of the map. The "basemap" means that the map is in the base layer (you can also switch on an overlay map).
The mountainbike trails are marked purple on the map:
If you need to know anything about Locus Map, don't ask ChatGPT, but have a look at http://www.locusmap.app, docs.locusmap.app or ask us at help.locusmap.eu instead.

Thank you Michael.
Thank you Michael.
And in general: rather than using ChatGPT that does trainings, has cutoff dates (which they meanwhile try to mitigate), I am using Perplexity instead. It is like an intelligent crawler, asking a number of curated, trustworthy sites. Online, not pre-trained.
And in addition, it shows you the sources of the information it compiled into one pretty consistent output. Beats Google AI in the header of many Google results hands down. You can also drill down by additional, refining questions. And questions do not need "?" nor full sentences, just the keywords that are relevant to what you want to know.
I've tried just three words "Locus base map" and it came back with a useful response.
