Colour topographic overlay

Is there a way to use colour topographic maps in Locus? This kind of map is great to overlay!

I mean true color topo scaled map, not the already Colored Elevation option in Map Shading

I'd like to combine standard hill-shading with colored elevation. Well try following:

  • enable Colored Elevation ( I chose Alps mode)
  • open Menu - More - Map Overlay - Enable it > change/select online map - scroll down the list into Overlays and select Hike & Bike Hillshade
  • The result:

Hello Petr,

Thanks for your workaround, that does help! But Locus still misses an automated altitude palette to different zoom levels, as seen in topographic-map.com

There is already a topic idea here, please vote for this feature! https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/automated-altitude-palette
