Can't find the search for place names in offline vector map

Hi Wolfgang,

offline address search in vector maps hasn't been implemented yet. Despite it doesn't look so, the displayed map data and searchable address database are two detached things. However, we're working on it intensively so the offline address search is going to be at hand quite soon. Thank you for you patience.

Thank you for the quick answer, Michal. While I find it quite strange that this functionality - which I consider quite basic - isn't there from long time ago, I appreciate that it will become available soon. Can you give me an idea how soon?

It surprises me that displayed map data and searchable address database are 2 detached things (in a vector map!). How do you - or the people who actually make the maps - make sure that there are no descrepancies between the 2?

While Locus Map application exists quite a long time, Locus Map autonomous data - LoMaps, POI database etc. are still a quite new thing and is being under extensive development. Despite the fact that the OSM base is common for all these data, Locus Map has used and downloaded only part of it - map data and POIs. Address database is another huge part which implementation and possibility to download for offline use requires a lot of work yet.

o.k., thanks again, Michal.

Any news if/when this feature will be available. I think, it would be a cool functionality for us all - I'd even pay for it, when implemented as an add-on for Locus...

Hi Michael, we're very close to some reasonable solution. Just wait for the next Locus version ;)

Michal, sounds fine, I will definitely wait

Hi Michal,

I found a post regarding a new feature of searching in an offline database for a specific address in Locus (http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=5016.0).

While this works - I hope this is not what you were referring to in your above post... What I am looking for is a search in the currently loaded vector map for a (sub-) sting of any area/hill/poi/site that is already part of the currently loaded map together with coordinates.

Regards,

Al.

Hi Al,

we're preparing offline search of addresses, not any area/hill/poi/site - such a database would be excessively huge and would fill too much space in the device memory.

Hi Al,

There is already offline POI search (has been displayed as "beta" for a long time). Maybe that helps you?

Michal, this is not about a new gigantic DB, this is rather about brute force search INSIDE the LOADED .map file.

I bought the Locus Pro Version now and installed the Bayern DB as described here. I also have the Bayern map on my device.

However it doesn't seem to work, and I can't report any findings in the other thread as I can't seem to log in there. That seems really odd as I AM LOGGED IN, as you can see by my post here. What's wrong here???

Hello,

please verify:

- both files are stored in same vector map folder

- naming of your files: bayern.osm.db and bayern.osm.map

top right in search dialog, click on "hamburger button" and select "search offline" and next use bayern

hi gentlemen,

firstly, thank you balloni55 for the help... We are releasing a new version fully supporting Worldwide offline address search within a week or so. No temporary-solution procedures will be necessary then. Please be patient.

I am using Locus Map Pro 3.24.3 and I can't find the option for an offline search (I'm sure my the OSM map that I am using contains that information)
