GPS Position wrong
Solved
I donwloades the latest version of locus free and an offline map of lower saxony (Germany) from the locus store. Whenever I open locus the map shows Prague (Praha) as my current gps position. How can I fix that (other maps (Naviagtor for example) show my correct gps position.
Many thanks in advance.
The same problem 
Hello Berit,
on first start of Locus without satfix an online map with center of Prague is loaded !
please take a look on following side
http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:basics:locuscontrol#the_main_screen
- first be sure you have gps enabeled and satfix, the green icon in top screen must be green! for first fix go outdoor and stand still under free sky
- next tab on down left button to center your map view to your position, if you have satfix
- activate your downloaded map with top right button, after click on it navigate to "OFFLINE" locus/mapsVector/saxonia

Something similar happens for other location aware Android applications as well. When GPS is OFF and Android location service "has slept wrong", it set location to Prague on Aladin weather forecast application as well ( Czech users probably know this official application of Czech Hydrometeorological Institute ) .

Glad to hear it Berit!
Libor, this issue may happen in case, device has completely no access to any source of location (wifi, bts, gps) or just right after restart when no location is computed. Otherwise there should always be something "better" then horse on Venceslavs Square which is hardcoded in Locus :).
